Demand hotting up
»»The introduction
last year of warm edge spacer bars
as standard across the range of
Uni-Blinds® integral blinds has
proved a hit with fabricators and
installers seeking to maximise
customer satisfaction, according
to the system’s manufacturer
Morley Glass & Glazing.
The company has seen an
increase in sales of 23% since the
first Uni-Blinds with warm edge
spacer bar technology inside hit
the market in spring 2014. Part of
the reason for this rapid growth,
says Morley Glass & Glazing
MD Ian Short, is customers
seeing the opportunity to upsell
their windows and doors without
compromising on thermal
performance.
Ian says: “We know that
homeowners increasingly
understand the massive
contribution that highly insulating
windows and doors make to
reducing energy bills and improving
comfort. That’s why we were so
keen to introduce the warm edge
spacer bar across our integral blinds
range to make compromise a thing
of the past when customers seek the
privacy and aesthetic benefits that
Uni-Blinds bring.”
Ian adds: “The warm edge
spacer bars that we use are similar
to those used by the majority of
sealed unit manufacturers serving
the A and B rated windows and
doors market. The added benefits
of integral blinds, which are
not adequately reflected by the
