Concealed Window Blinds

Multiple Configurations

Blinds can be concealed inside the wall or inside the ceiling, with the blind gap towards the window or towards the room. The most common configuration in windows and doors, is to use a headbox only, however in rooms where blackout blinds may be required, Blindspace side boxes and bottom boxes are also frequently used.

Bottom-up blinds can also be concealed in windows and gables with or without side boxes to conceal wires or blind side channels.

As a general rule, blinds should be installed as close to the window as possible to minimize gaps on the sides of the blind. This increase privacy, reduce light coming in and warm air circulating to the room. With Blindspace side boxes, gaps can be eliminated and 100% blackout can be achieved.
‍
It is important to allow for protrudning door and window handles when configuring the blind gap close to the window.

Sizes and Technical Drawings

The size of the Blindspace box required depends on the type and size of the blinds to be prepared for. The larger the glazing area and blind, the more space is needed to hide the blinds. As a general rule, a bigger box also allows for more options and easier installation.

Standard Blindspace S Series boxes are available in 100x100 mm and 130x130 mm. For single roller blinds in floor-to-ceiling glazing, we recommend S130x130, however S100x100 is the most popular option. S Series is available in 6m lengths or cut to specification.

Custom Blindspace C Series are made to order in any dimension with no minimum order quantity. Dimensions in the table below are popular sizes. C Series is available in 3m lengths or cut to specification.

We provide splice pins to align two boxes and splice plates to align covers together over longer runs.

Boxes, covers and end caps are provided in white or powder coated to any standard RAL colour.
