What Are INTU Blinds?

INTU blinds are an integrated window blind system that requires no drilling or screws. They use a unique bracket that slides under the rubber bead of uPVC windows, allowing the blind to sit flush against the glass. They are available in a variety of styles, including pleated, honeycomb, and venetian.

How to install pleated blinds?

When you order through Cross Blinds & Shutters, we handle the installation for you. For many of our pleated blinds, we use a 'no-drill' system where the blinds clip into the beading of your windows. If a screw-fit is required for a specific wall or ceiling mount, our professional fitters bring all the necessary tools to ensure a secure, level, and safe installation.

How Much Do INTU Blinds Cost?

Yes! They are one of the best blind types for insulation. The pleated structure creates a barrier between the room and the glass, significantly reducing heat loss during cold Scottish winters and keeping rooms cooler in the summer.

Perfect Fit

Made-to-Measure INTU Blinds

NTU blinds are the ultimate "no-drill" window solution, designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with modern uPVC windows, doors, and conservatories. Unlike traditional blinds that are screwed into the wall or woodwork, INTU blinds clip directly into the window bead. This creates a clean, clutter-free look where the blind becomes part of the window itself.

At Cross Blinds & Shutters, every order includes free measuring, expert advice, and professional installation from our dedicated local team.

Why Install INTU Blinds?

Sleek Integrated Appearance:
INTU blinds are designed to fit neatly within the window frame, creating a clean and modern appearance without bulky external fittings. Their streamlined design makes them an excellent choice for contemporary homes, conservatories, and stylish living spaces.
No Drilling or Screws Required:
One of the biggest advantages of INTU blinds is their no-drill installation system. They fit securely into the window beading without damaging uPVC frames, making them ideal for homeowners who want a neat finish without permanent alterations.
Perfect for Tilt & Turn Windows and Doors:
INTU blinds move together with the window or door when opened and closed, making them highly practical for tilt and turn windows, conservatories, patio doors, and bi-fold doors. This ensures smooth operation and improved convenience in everyday use.
Improved Light Control & Privacy:
With a wide range of fabric options available, including blackout and light-filtering materials, INTU blinds help improve privacy while allowing you to control natural light throughout the day.
Ideal for Conservatories: Because they can be cut to fit triangular and awkward shapes, they are the industry standard for conservatory roofs and shaped windows.
Ideal for Modern & New Build Homes:
Their minimalist appearance and precise fitting make INTU blinds especially popular in modern homes and new build properties. They complement contemporary interiors while maintaining a tidy and uncluttered look.

Why INTU Blinds are the Ultimate Modern Solution

Experience a sleek, minimalist finish that doesn't interfere with the operation of your handles or hinges. INTU blinds are a favorite for contemporary Scottish homes.

No Drilling Required

Our expert fitters use a clever patented bracket system that slides behind the window gasket. No holes, no mess, no fuss.

Perfect for Moving Parts

Because they are tensioned and secured at both the top and bottom, they don't rattle or swing when you open your doors or windows.

Minimalist Aesthetic

With no hanging cords or bulky headrails, they offer a "built-in" look that complements modern interior design.

12-Month Guarantee

We provide a full year’s guarantee on all INTU components and fabrics for your peace of mind.

INTU blinds are an innovative integrated system that fits snugly within the beading of most modern uPVC and aluminum window frames. They are available in Pleated, Cellular (Honeycomb), and Venetian styles. For homeowners in Glasgow and Stirling with bi-fold doors or modern sunrooms, INTU blinds offer the cleanest possible finish without the need for a full surrounding frame.

Styling Options:

Available in Pleated (single fold), Cellular (thermal honeycomb), and Venetian (aluminum slats).

Control Type:

Simple tab-control operation—just slide the bottom rail to the desired height.

100% Safety:

100% cordless as standard.

Frame Colours:

Headrails and side profiles come in White, Silver, Brown, and Anthracite to match your window frames.

INTU Micro:

We also offer a "Micro" version designed specifically for narrow-depth window beads often found in modern bi-fold doors.

General Cleaning: For Pleated/Cellular fabrics, use a soft brush vacuum attachment. For Venetian slats, a damp cloth or specialized slat cleaner works best.
Frame Maintenance The aluminum profiles can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent to keep them looking brand new.
Durability: Because they are fixed at both ends, the fabric is less likely to get caught in the window mechanism compared to free-hanging blinds.

INTU blinds are recommended for any uPVC or aluminum window with a rubber gasket. They are the gold standard for tilt-and-turn windows, as the blind remains flush against the glass even when the window is tilted open at an angle.

Care and Cleaning Procedures

Natural wood requires specific care to maintain its luster and structural integrity over time.

Routine Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a specialized blind duster. Close the slats fully to wipe one side, then rotate them to clean the reverse.
Avoid Excess Water: Never saturate wooden blinds. If a damp cloth is needed for sticky marks, ensure it is well-wrung and follow up immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
Furniture Polish: Occasionally, a small amount of non-silicone wood polish can be applied to a cloth to restore the natural shine of stained wood finishes.
Vacuuming: Use the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner on a low-suction setting to remove dust from the cords and headrail.
UV Protection: Finished with a specialized UV-resistant coating to prevent fading or cracking from sun exposure.
