Integral Blinds vs. Traditional Window Coverings: Which Is Right for You

Are integral blinds or traditional window coverings best for your home? At Dream Windows & Doors, we have weighed up the options to help you make an informed decision. Contact us today for more expert advice and guidance.

Problems with traditional window blinds

Traditional window blinds can be hard to clean, and sometimes frustrating to operate. Not to mention the fact that they can be a safety hazard for children and pets. Integral blinds are a practical solution to all of these issues, because they integrate the blinds into the windows and allow them to be controlled via a remote or magnetic slider. By concealing blinds inside your double glazed windows, you get maintenance-free, smoothly operating blinds that make life easier.

Benefits of integral blinds

Integral blinds are:

• Low maintenance
• Safe from damage as they are enclosed within your windows
• Safer for children and pets because there are no cords
• Easy to operate

Things to consider

Before taking advantage of the benefits of integral blinds, there are a few things you should consider. Firstly, integral blinds are more expensive, because they come as part of a new set of windows. The second is that, unless you buy tripled glazed windows with integral blinds, your windows may not provide the same insulation, so keep that in mind if you want to benefit from the energy efficiency of high-quality windows and the convenience of integral blinds.
