Architects, designers – do you really offer your clients the best?

The daily work of an architect or designer often involves an endless search for new information, self-education, and orientation among new systems, methods, and technological processes. As industry professionals know well, quality items come at a price. However, can they convincingly explain this to their clients? Let’s take a look at one of the exemplary models - the integrated ScreenLine between-glass blinds.

It starts with a vision
Right from the first sketches of the design, it is clear. The house should appear clean and simple from the outside and inside. However, shading technology is a necessary component of any smarter building. So which one should you choose? External blinds offer many more options compared to internal ones. Simply put - apart from light, they do not let heat into the house in summer either. However, they require regular maintenance and their operation is problematic in adverse weather conditions.

The second option is internal blinds. However, these are only used in our country today and this can be attributed to a general post-revolutionary deformation. These blinds can only shade light. They cannot handle the heat, which especially penetrates significantly into the interior during the summer months. However, their price and twenty-year tradition play in their favor. This is one reason why the Czech Republic is one of the largest global manufacturers of internal blinds, rather than one of the southern states, which are clear on this matter.

Fortunately, you are knowledgeable in the field and can design integrated between-glass blinds, meaning blinds installed in the space between insulating glasses. The client likely does not know this system yet - it is a novelty for them. Nevertheless, it belongs among the more expensive shading options. And this is despite the fact that in the end it saves both time and money. Can you convince the client of the legitimacy of your proposal?

The client is happy to choose quality when it is justified
The task of architects and designers is not only to find the optimal solution to the client's requests but also to defend their recommendations. Integrated between-glass blinds can be the contentious point where the expert's view diverges from that of a layman.


Are they really that exceptional?
They are, literally! They offer the same functionality as external blinds but, unlike them, are completely maintenance-free. They do not affect the insulating properties of the glass but actually enhance their thermal properties. Their lifespan equals that of the window itself, partly because they have no mechanical joints for control. Everything is solved contactlessly, magnetically, either manually or automatically. The blinds are located inside the glass, meaning there is no risk of damage from the outside. For the client, this means less maintenance work with the blinds from an aesthetic perspective, as they do not collect dust and are not exposed to weather conditions like external blinds. When cleaning the windows, they do not have to struggle with the blinds or the sliding system. The window frame remains intact.

Thermal regulation is key
However, the main advantage of integrated between-glass blinds lies in working with the incoming thermal radiation. While traditional internal blinds can only shade sunlight and cannot deal with heat in the form of rays, between-glass blinds can regulate this fundamental factor as well. In summer, much less heat enters the interior of the house or apartment. This improves overall comfort and represents significant energy savings in the case of installed air conditioning. The greatest effect is, of course, noticeable in the light and southern parts of the house or apartment. In many cases, it is not even necessary to turn on the air conditioning; a properly set blind profile takes care of a pleasant temperature. In winter, this solution also prevents unwanted window condensation.


From the perspective of an architect or designer, it is a functionally perfect window shading system that does not physically or visually disrupt the overall character of the object or interior but rather allows clean and simple lines to stand out. Along with a sufficient color palette of slats and the possibility to replace blinds with pleated or roller shades, it represents probably the best solution that can be offered to a client in this area today. The integrated ScreenLine between-glass blinds naturally meet all European certifications and have fully proven their qualities in their 30-year history, mainly abroad.

Transmission of control force to the insulating glass using a pair of rotating magnets. Enables tilting and raising of the blinds without compromising the tightness of the insulating glass.

Corner with contacts for transmitting electrical signals through the spacer frame for blinds with internal motor. Allows the perfect tightness of the insulating glass and simple connection of wires for power supply and control of the internal motor.
