INTU Blinds

About Intu Window Blinds

INTU blinds are similar to Perfect Fit in that they also do not require any drilling or screwing during installation. However, INTU blinds differentiate themselves from Perfect Fit by not having a frame around the blind and also by the fact that they are NOT restricted to being used on UPVC windows. The only restriction is that the window must be internally beaded, and have a bead depth between 11mm and 27mm.

There are 3 types of Intu Blind: 

• Venetian Blinds
• Pleated Blinds
• Roller Blinds

Why Choose INTU Blinds?

INTU blinds offer several advantages over traditional blinds, making them a preferred choice for homeowners. One key advantage is their seamless and sleek design, which eliminates the need for drilling or screwing into window frames. This not only saves time and effort but also preserves the integrity of your window frames. The easy installation process of INTU blinds ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing you to quickly and effortlessly transform your windows. Moreover, the clean and uncluttered appearance of INTU blinds adds a touch of elegance to any room, creating a modern and streamlined look. With INTU blinds, you can enjoy the convenience of a stylish and practical window covering without compromising the aesthetics of your space.

Installed within the beading of the window frame

Each INTU blind has a headrail which clips into the window beading. Headrails and components are available in white, brown or silver.

There is no shortage of colours or fabric choices in our INTU blind range with hundreds of different options to choose from across the three product types.

Roller Blind head-rails are slightly bigger than Venetian and pleated as the roller head rail accommodates the roller tube and fabric.

The INTU Roller Blind is slightly different in that it has side guide rails which guide the blind’s fabric up and down smoothly and lock the blind into intermediate positions.

Child Safe By Design

INTU blinds are classed as child "safe by design" as they have no hanging cords or chains. 

The blinds are raised and lowered using the bottom bar. Venetian blinds are tilted using a sliding tab on the headrail. There is an optional “operating rod” for out-of-reach situations.

The maximum drop on INTU blinds is 2000mm (200cm) and the maximum width is 1400mm (140cm). This makes them INTU blinds for doors and conservatories, as well as ordinary windows throughout your house.

As they fit directly to the beading, they are ideal for bay and normal windows, as they free up window sill space.  

Maintenance and Care Tips for INTU Blinds

Proper maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INTU blinds. To keep them looking their best, it is recommended to:

• Regularly dust or vacuum the INTU blinds using a soft brush or upholstery attachment.
• For deeper cleaning, gently wipe the blinds with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the fabric or components.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions when operating and adjusting the blinds.
• Handle the mechanisms and ladder cords with care and avoid applying excessive force.
