🏠 Concealed Roller & Cellular Blinds

If you’re building a new kitchen extension or open-plan living space with bifold doors, you’ve probably already thought about how much glass you’re adding — and how to keep the look clean and the space comfortable.

Our concealed blind systems are designed to do just that.

They let you hide your blinds neatly into the ceiling or wall, so there’s no visible cassette or brackets. The blinds are only seen when they’re in use — and they’re available in either roller or cellular pleated formats, both of which can be manual or motorised.

We often fit these in new kitchen/dining/living extensions, particularly where bifold doors run across the back of the house. Whether you want to reduce glare, keep heat out, or improve insulation, this solution offers a sleek, built-in finish that other systems just can’t match.

Unlike many others, we can supply both the concealed headbox and the blind itself — so you’re not juggling between trades. And every blind we install comes with a 3-year guarantee, fitted by our own in-house team.

🎯 Roller vs Cellular Blinds

Which Is Right for Your Space?

We offer two main types of blinds for our concealed ceiling and wall installations: roller blinds and cellular pleated blinds. Each has its own strengths, and the right option depends on your priorities — whether that’s cost, comfort, or the look you want to achieve.

🔵 Concealed Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are the most popular choice for concealed installations — particularly above bifold doors or large window spans.

• More cost-effective than cellular options
• Suitable for wider openings, so you may need fewer blinds across glazing
• Choose solar reflective fabrics to help keep cool in summer
• Available in a wide range of colours, dim-out or room-darkening options
• Excellent for kitchens, lounges, and open-plan living areas

Roller blinds offer a clean, contemporary finish — especially when motorised — and are ideal when managing sunlight and privacy during the day.

🟢 Concealed Cellular Pleated Blinds

Cellular pleated blinds are best known for their thermal efficiency — helping to keep your home warmer in winter by trapping air inside the honeycomb structure.

• Excellent for insulation, useful in north-facing rooms or open glazed spaces
• Available in light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics
• Slim, stylish profile that suits minimalist interiors
• Often used in bedrooms, living areas, or spaces that lose heat through glazing
• Available in both manual and motorised options

⚙️ Motorisation

Seamless Control Without Compromise

Most customers choose to motorise their concealed blinds — and it’s easy to see why. With no cords, no chains, and no manual pulling, the result is a cleaner look, a safer environment, and smoother operation every time.

Our motorised blinds are available with remote controls, wall switches, or even smart home integration — so you can raise or lower your blinds using Alexa, Google, or your phone.

We usually install motorised blinds inside a cassette, which gives extra support across the width and ensures the blind opens evenly and smoothly — particularly important on wide openings like bifold doors.

✅ Why Go Motorised?

• No visible chains or cords – Safe by Design
• Even, consistent movement – Reduces wear on fixings
• Ideal for large openings – Especially bifolds or tall windows
• Smart home ready – Control from your phone or voice assistant
• Neat, premium finish – Especially when paired with a recessed headbox

🚪 Bifold Doors

Discreet Control for Large Glazed Openings

Bifold doors are often the focal point of modern extensions — but they’re also a challenge when it comes to shading. You want a solution that’s practical, stylish, and doesn’t get in the way.

Our concealed blind systems sit flush above your bifolds, so the blinds only appear when you need them. No side fixings. No visible brackets. No awkward gaps.

Roller blinds are particularly popular in this setting, especially when motorised — allowing you to operate several blinds together with the press of a button.

✅ Why It Works for Bifolds

• Fits across wide openings – With fewer blinds needed
• Neatly integrated into the ceiling – Concealed when not in use
• Smooth, motorised movement – Effortless and child-safe
• Preserves the clean lines of your doors – No side clutter

🍽️ Kitchens & Open-Plan Living

Designed for Modern Extensions

Concealed blinds are a perfect match for today’s kitchen-diner-living spaces, where open-plan layouts and large glass areas demand more thoughtful design.

Because the blinds retract into the ceiling or wall cavity, you retain your clean lines and open feel — with no fabric rolls or headrails in view. When the sun is strong, the blinds come down quietly to cut glare, reduce heat, or give you a bit of privacy when entertaining in the evening.

✅ Why It Works for Kitchen Living Spaces

• Keeps the look clean – Nothing visible unless you need it
• Solar control in summer – Choose fabrics with solar reflective coatings
• Thermal insulation in winter – Cellular options help retain heat
• Works with lighting, zones, and automation – Discreet yet highly functional
• Suitable for open corners, roof lights, and full wall glazing
