BetweenglassblindsTM offer a versatile privacy and shading solution for doors, windows, and building envelopes using sealed, double-glazed units with integrated venetian blinds. The blinds are operated manually via magnetic strips or motorized options controlled by switches or remote. The sealed units protect the blinds while providing various glazing options to meet energy, soundproofing, or fire rating needs. BetweenglassblindsTM units are warranted for 5-10 years and installed in commercial and residential applications worldwide.

Blinds

3. Betweenglassblinds™ offer a versatile and
contemporary means of privacy and shading
suitable for large door panels, screens, office
partitioning, store fronts, residential glazing and
commercial building envelopes. They also provide
the ideal solution for sliding and bifold doors where
an external and obtrusive blind cannot be used.
BGB units are all hermetically sealed double-glazed
panels filled with Argon and manufactured in
accordance with all parts of BSEN 1279 as well as
having the full CE accreditation. Sealed between the
glass is a fully operable Venetian blind (pleated and
blackout options are also available) which is
maintenance free and protected from moisture,
dust and damage.
No strings attached...
Manual BGB units are operated via a neat sliding magnetic block located down the sides of the units. The
magnets are colour matched to the blind slats and profile to ensure they blend in seamlessly with the rest
of the unit unlike other systems which are controlled via unsightly and cumbersome cord, wand or knob
controls. The magnets are slick and easy to operate and users can specify their location around the
perimeter of the sealed unit to suit specific environments. The cordless system is also safe and child-friendly
making them ideal for hospitals and other public buildings.
On larger units or where users want the magnet located along the top or base of the unit we offer ‘tilt only’
blinds (the blind slats will rotate to maintain privacy/observation and shading but the blind will remain
lowered at all times). Where units are over 2m² we would generally recommend opting for ‘tilt only’ blinds
due to the weight of the blind.
BGB panels are available in a full range of colours (see back of brochure for details) with the blind slats,
frame and magnets all matching to ensure the units look stylish and are able to adapt to any colour
scheme. We also offer a full range of glazing including toughened, laminated, low energy/solar control,
acoustic and fire rated to ensure BGB units can meet all requirements and achieve the necessary U-Value,
dB rating or fire rating required for a specific installation.

4. Motorised Blinds
At a push of a button...

5. BGB units are available in a range of motorised
options ranging from battery powered blinds
operated via a switch or basic remote control to
hard-wired multi-functional systems designed to
integrate with sophisticated home automation
interfaces. All these systems are user friendly and
enable instantaneous shading or privacy at the
push of a button.
The motors powering the blinds are concealed
within the internal head rail of the BGB unit to ensure
the noise is kept to an absolute minimum.
In addition the stylish look of the integral blind unit
is not reduced by the presence of an unattractive
solar panel or bulky control box attached to the
glass.
We offer several options when it comes to controlling the motorised
blinds to suit every environment. All our systems can be operated
via simple up/down switches which can be wall-mounted or
subtlety placed on the perimeter of the blind depending on
whether hard-wiring can be achieved.
There is also a range of remote controls available allowing blinds
to be controlled individually or in groups meaning a single remote
control can operate a whole house full of blinds. Where smart
home functionality is available BGB blinds can be linked up via a
EIB/KNX gateway which can interface directly with a home-
automation system.
All motorised systems are available in blackout (Duette) and pleated curtains as well as the standard
Venetian slatted blind. The same colour range is available for the motorised blinds as is on offer with
the magnetic – see the back cover of the brochure for full details. The colour range is limited for the
battery powered blinds. All glazing options are also available with the motorised blinds as with the
magnetic version.
