What does integral blind fitting involve?

Integral blind fitting is precise work. It involves glazing skills, careful handling of sealed units, and an understanding of how different door and window systems work. Here's what you can expect from the process:

Survey & measurements

Your fitter will:

• Measure each window or door accurately

• Check the condition of existing frames and units

• Discuss control options (cord, slider, or remote) and colours

Supplying the glazed units

Most integral blinds are supplied as sealed double- or triple-glazed units with the blinds already built inside. Your fitter will usually:

• Order made-to-measure units from a manufacturer

• Arrange delivery and agree an installation date with you

Installation

On installation day, the fitter will typically:

• Carefully remove the old glass units (if you’re reusing frames)

• Fit the new glazed units with the blinds sealed inside

• Fix and test the operating mechanism (magnetic slider, cord or remote)

• Check that vents, handles and openings still work smoothly

Final checks & handover

Before they leave, your fitter should:

• Show you how to operate the blinds and lock-off controls safely

• Explain any care or cleaning guidance

• Talk through any warranties on the glazing and the blind system

How much does it cost to fit integral blinds?

Several factors can impact the cost of having integral blinds fitted, including:

• Size and number of blinds

• Brand

• Control type (magnetic slider, cord or remote)

However, to give you a general steer, it costs around £3,500 to get an integral blind fitted in a 3-pane bi-folding door. This includes both the supply and installation.

FAQs about integral blind services

Are integral blinds worth the money?

For many homeowners, yes, integral blinds are worth the money. They stay cleaner for longer, don’t rattle or tangle, and can last as long as the glazing itself if fitted correctly. They’re especially useful in doors that are opened and closed frequently.

Can integral blinds go wrong or break?

Like any moving part, mechanisms can wear over time. Choosing a good-quality system and an experienced fitter, plus checking the warranty, helps reduce the risk and gives you recourse if something fails early.

Can you retrofit integral blinds into all existing windows?

It's sometimes possible to retrofit integral blinds into existing windows, but not always. The frames need to accept the depth and weight of the new units, and some older systems may not be suitable. A fitter will be able to tell you what’s possible after a site survey.

Do integral blinds help with noise or just light?

The main benefit of integral blinds is is light and privacy control, but because they’re part of a sealed unit, they sit within the same insulated glass system that helps with both heat and some external noise.

Do I need planning permission for integral blinds?

No — you’re not changing the structure of the building, just the glazing units, so you shouldn't need planning permission. The exception is if your property has specific conservation or listing controls, in which case it’s worth checking with your local authority.

How long do integral blinds last?

Integral blinds should last 25-30 years if professionally fitted and well cared for. That's about the same as you'd expect your double or triple-glazed windows to last.

Are integral blinds energy-efficient?

Yes. When used correctly, your integral blinds will help maximise energy efficiency in your home.

Top tip – When the sun shines in winter, open your integral blinds fully to capture the heat. As evening draws in, close your blinds to keep the warmth inside your home.

What is the maximum width for integral blinds?

Generally, most systems have a maximum width of 2.5m wide and 2.5m high.
