Intu Blinds

An Intu Blind fits into the frame of your window or door and they come in 3 different types of blind; Roller, Venetian and Pleated. Unlike a Perfect Fit Blind which has a four-sided frame, Intu Blinds have a head-rail that houses the tensioned blind material with the bottom rail which you use to open and close the blind. Two discreet side channels run the length of the window and this keeps the blind under constant tension and enables the full use of the window or door ensuring the blind doesn’t swing.

Intu blinds have a headrail which clips into the top of the window frame and the blind material runs up and down the window frame guided by a discreet cord that runs down either side of the window frame which keeps the blind under constant tension making them easy to open and close.

Perfect fit blinds have a frame-based system that push-fits between the glass of the windows pane and the neoprene gasket (a rubber-like material around the glass). This means they clip onto a frame that is fitted onto the window, creating a neat and easy fixture. There are 4 different types of perfect fit blinds available including; cellular, pleated, roller or Venetian blinds.

Intu Blinds are similar to Perfect Fit Blinds, however, they don’t have a frame-based system as such but instead, they have a plastic cover that is fitted at the top of the window or door and an inbuilt slider that operates the tilt function of the blind. As with Perfect Fit Blinds, there are no cords or pulleys that hang down and pose a threat to children or pets. Intu Blinds have a very clever tensioning system that runs down either side of the window frame making them easy to open and close as well as keeping the blinds from rattling if there are drafts and they fit flush to the glass pane ensuring you can fully open and close your windows or doors.

An Intu Blind fits flush to the glass pane and inside the window frame which means you can fully open the window or door whether it opens inwards or outwards. A Venetian Intu blind opens by you tilting the slats using the top bar, offering full or partial privacy, or you can use the top or bottom panel to push it up or down to open or close it. Pleated Intu blinds can be pushed down from the top leaving just the top part of your window exposed or pushed up from the bottom leaving the bottom party of your window exposed making them a really versatile blind with lots of privacy and shade options.

An Intu blind is easily fitted and just clips into the frame of your window or door pane in just minutes with no drilling or holes needed. Simple brackets fit into the window bead, tensioning the blind which means there are no hanging cords or pulley systems making them one of the safest blinds available.
