One of the most common questions asked is how much integral blinds will cost. There are several ways to get an approximate price for windows, doors or bifolding doors, but when it comes to finding out prices for integral blinds, it is a little more difficult.
What is the cost of integral blinds?
Bifolding doors are one of the most popular products that are suitable for integral blinds.
Before we give an indication of how much you can expect to pay for integral blinds, there are some essential considerations that all affect the price of an integral blind.
The quality of the integral blind affects the cost.
There are integral blinds of varying quality, and this is reflected in the price. How the blinds are manufactured, the glass specification, the method of manufacture all affect the price. Also affecting the price is the quality of components.
The colour of integral blinds affects the price you pay.
Integral glass blinds come in a choice of colours some of which are stock colours, others being unusual colours. So if there is a white door with white blinds or a grey door with grey blinds, prices may vary from supplier to supplier. So it is important to have an idea of colour beforehand.
How integral blinds open and close affects the price.
Integral blinds are available with several opening, closing and tilting options. There is cord control, magnet controlled, electric opening, remote controlled opening and even solar controlled. All of these different methods of opening will affect the price paid.
The overall home improvement project can influence the price of integral blinds.
We live in a commercial world where good businesses want to secure the homeowner’s order for new windows and doors.
It is often the case that the window company will want to keep their prices keen so the price of integral blinds may also be affected by the overall order value. This is usually good news for the homeowner that receives a competitive price with integral blinds included or at a reduced price.
It is also worth bearing in mind that there are door and window businesses large and small. Some enjoy better discounts from integral blind manufacturers than others because they buy more. Again this can affect the price the homeowner will pay.
So how much do integral blinds cost?
Any bifolding door, old or new should be able to accept an integral blind.
As a general rule, we will take a typical integral blind with the following specification.
- Over 2m2 in area.
- Manually operate with a magnet control.
- Integral blinds in a standard stock colour.
- Integral blinds housed within a 28mm toughened glass unit with Low-E coating and warm edge spacer bar.
For this specification of an integral blind, a guide price would be in the region of £300 to £500 plus VAT per blind. This is assuming it is provided with the respective window or door and not as a stand-alone product. It also of course depends on the size.
