Rooflight blinds without the hassle

An innovative tensioned blind system designed for large scale commercial environments is now being used to enhance rooflights and sloped glazing in the residential, leisure and education sectors.

Guthrie Douglas are well known for their engineering of bespoke blinds for complex buildings such as airports, office developments, and commercial centres, where fit and function cannot be compromised, contract deadlines cannot be missed, and long warranty periods must be adhered to.

But recently, many shading suppliers have started taking advantage of these ‘commercial-grade’ systems for smaller projects closer to home. The compact TESS^™660 system in particular is being selected more and more by suppliers who are after a blind that will work well for skylights and rooflights in homes and schools time and time again without being called back to sort out problems on site.

The new ‘recess-fix’ model, allows for 2 systems to be completely concealed in almost the same space as a single system, and the adjustable side guides allow for easy installation and blackout functionality even when the opening is not completely square.

The TESS^™660 ultra-smooth motor comes with obstacle detection as standard, ‘soft-start, soft-stop’ functionality for that extra wow-factor for residential clients, and can even be programmed to run at varying speeds.
