Brands:
ZIP Blinds
Neat and stylish, ZIP blinds can be installed in multiple applications including dim-out, shading, light control, heat control, insect screens, room dividers, for business presentation & home cinema screens, to name a few.
Obscura blinds
SHY Obscura commercial roller blinds have the look of standard roller blinds - but this roller blind system is anything but standard: it can provide maximum overall coverage of 70 square metres.. Obscura roller blinds can be installed on vertical, sloping, or tilting windows, rooflights and atria, shaped glazing and even curved areas such as glazed domes, cupolas or barrel-vaulted roofs.
Solarblock blinds
Solarblock fabrics prevent or significantly reduce the amount of light passing through the fabric. This can also have a significant secondary benefit of controlling heat gain. The performance of the fabric depends on a number of factors including, for example, the colour and construction of the cloth and the type of glazing used.
Sunfacta blinds
Sunfacta commercial roller blinds are ideal for shading large or small areas and can be fitted internally or externally to windows of up to 40 square metres in size. Providing a neat finish, Sunfacta roller blinds can be fitted on windows of up to 50 square metres in size, and of any shape. They can be installed on vertical, sloping, or tilting windows, rooflights and atria, shaped glazing and even curved areas such as glazed domes, cupolas or barrel -vaulted roofs.
Product Types
SHY can supply suitable shading systems for almost every application and location, using our specialist roller blind knowledge and experience.
Vertical
Vertical binds come in two forms; gravity drop blinds and lifting blinds. Both can be made to fit any angle to the vertical and to a large variety of widths. SHY experts are happy to advise you on the most suitable blind for your windows.
Gravity drop blinds:
when in position, this type of roller blind moves vertically. It is made from a single piece of fabric that travels in a downwards motion to shade and an upwards motion to open.
Lifting blinds:
the opposite of gravity drop blinds, a lifting roller blind rises from the base and travels upwards to provide shade.
Sideways
Our roller blinds are able to move in a sideways direction from left to right, or vice versa. Sideways blinds can be made to fit windows at an angle to the vertical and we have a range of manual and electric controls depending on the height, angle and size of the application.
Shaped
We can make roller blinds to fit any shape of window – we specialise in creating and manufacturing bespoke blinds for the most unusual of applications. SHY has experience in triangular blinds, non-symmetrical blinds and window shading solutions for gable ends as well as roller blinds for curved glazing and domes.
Rooflights and Skylights
With an outstanding range of options, the drop and width range for rooflights and skylights is from as little as 600mm x 600mm to 6.8 m x 13m. Every level of shading through to full blackout can be achieved utilising a wide choice of blind fabrics.
Oversized
Is your window very wide or tall? We have the manufacturing capability to produce very large blinds, for very large windows as well as motorised blinds for very tall, narrow windows.
Custom
We specialise in designing and manufacturing bespoke blinds. Whether your windows are oversized, have a number of out-of-the ordinary angles, or are an unusual shape, we can make blinds to suit exactly what you need.
