Between Glass Blinds
Our between-glass metal Venetian blinds integrate permanently into double or triple-glazed windows, offering superior sun control, thermal efficiency, and acoustic insulation. Designed for commercial applications like schools and hospitals, they require minimal maintenance and resist damage from high humidity. Each blind is custom-manufactured to meet project specifications, ensuring seamless integration with window systems.
Motorized Blinds
WACIs motorized tilt-only blinds operate via a 12V DC system, ideal for large-scale installations requiring synchronized control. Compatible with 625 and 1000 series blinds, our systems use regulated power supplies to support up to 25 blinds per circuit. Custom configurations require collaboration with qualified electrical contractors to ensure optimal performance and compliance with project requirements.
