The Tension is Mounting

However you look at it, windows and doors now offer more design options than ever before.

With modern homes demanding more in terms of space efficiency, safety, and fire exit access, it’s no surprise that inward-opening windows are becoming just as common as those that open outwards.

From bifold doors to tilt-and-turn windows, to inward-opening doors to inward-tilting windows - the choices are endless.

But these exciting innovations come with their own set of design challenges.

One common issue with inward-opening windows is that traditional blinds fitted inside the recess can interfere with the window's movement.

Tensioned blinds mounted directly onto the window or its frame

Fortunately, there’s a smart solution: tensioned blinds mounted directly onto the window or its frame. These blinds move seamlessly with the window glazing - simple, effective, and stylish.

Not only do tensioned blinds offer a sleek and contemporary look, they also come with several practical benefits:

• Cord-free operation: Moved by hand along discreet tensioned cords, these blinds eliminate dangling cords, making them a safe option for homes with young children.

• Versatile light control: Choose the right fabric for excellent room-darkening or light-filtering performance.

• Flexible design: Available in pleated styles for a soft, elegant finish or in metal venetian designs for precise light and privacy control.

• Custom stacking: Depending on the design, the blinds can stack at the top or bottom of the window, giving you full control over light and privacy.
