BlindScreen™
Advanced Room Darkening & Side-to-Side Control
BlindScreen™ is a specialist framed pleated blind system designed to deliver one of the strongest room-darkening finishes available. Unlike traditional pleated blinds that operate horizontally, BlindScreen™ moves vertically within a precision-engineered frame.
This side-to-side operation allows for flexible fabric combinations — from blockout room darkening to flyscreen and light-diffusing options — all within one discreet, child-safe system.

How BlindScreen™ Works
BlindScreen™ is housed within a full perimeter frame, with the pleated fabric moving horizontally on integrated tracks. The fabric glides smoothly from one side of the window to the other, rather than top to bottom.
This unique design allows you to:
- Install a single room-darkening blind for maximum blackout
- Combine two fabrics in one opening
- Operate separate blinds from left and right
For example, you might choose a room-darkening fabric drawing from the left and a flyscreen drawing from the right — offering full flexibility throughout the day into the night.
Independently Tested Thermal Performance
BlindScreen™ systems have undergone independent testing by the University of Salford, which identified measurable improvements in thermal performance when installed correctly.
Testing indicated that BlindScreen™ can provide:
- Up to 81% heat retention improvement in winter conditions
- Potential energy cost reductions of up to 15%
While results will vary depending on property type, glazing specification and installation, these findings demonstrate the potential energy-saving benefits of a fully framed pleated blind system.
By reducing heat loss in colder months and limiting solar gain in warmer weather, BlindScreen™ contributes to year-round comfort and improved energy efficiency.
Exceptional Room Darkening
If your priority is achieving the darkest possible room, a single blockout BlindScreen™ running fully across the opening provides the strongest light reduction.
The framed system minimises light gaps around the edges, helping to significantly reduce daylight intrusion. While no blind can guarantee total blackout, BlindScreen™ delivers one of the closest finishes available in a domestic setting.
This makes it ideal for:
- Children’s bedrooms
- Shift workers
- South-facing rooms
- Homes near street lighting

Flexible Fabric Options
BlindScreen™ can be configured in multiple ways depending on your needs.
- Room darkening + flyscreen
- Room darkening + light diffusing
- Single blockout for maximum darkness
During summer months, you can slide across the flyscreen while keeping windows open, allowing airflow while keeping insects out. In the evening, the blockout fabric can be drawn across to reduce light and increase privacy.
