Why More Homeowners in Toronto Are Choosing Windows with Internal Blinds
1. Virtually No Maintenance
Because the blinds are enclosed between the glass, they’re completely protected from dust, dirt, fingerprints, and pet hair. That means no cleaning required, making them ideal for busy families or allergy-sensitive homes.
2. Safe for Children and Pets
Traditional blinds often come with cords that can be a hazard. Internal blinds eliminate that risk, giving you peace of mind in a home with children or pets.
3. Sleek, Modern Aesthetic
Forget tangled cords and bulky hardware. With built-in blinds, your windows and doors maintain a streamlined look that blends perfectly into your décor.
4. Effortless Light and Privacy Control
With a simple slider or remote (depending on the model), you can tilt the blinds to let in just the right amount of natural light or close them completely for privacy.
5. Long-Lasting Durability
Since they’re sealed within the glass, internal blinds are shielded from the wear and tear that damages external blinds. No more bent slats or broken mechanisms.
6. Energy Efficiency Boost
Paired with energy-efficient window glass, internal blinds can help insulate your home by reducing heat transfer. That means better temperature control year-round — and potential savings on your energy bill.
7. Noise Reduction
In busy parts of Toronto and surrounding cities, reducing noise is a priority. Internal blinds add another layer of sound dampening, particularly in patio doors and sliding glass doors.
8. Protection from UV Damage
When installed in Low-E glass windows, the blinds benefit from added UV protection, helping to prevent sun damage to your floors, furniture, and curtains.
Things to Consider Before Choosing Built-In Blinds
Higher Upfront Cost:
Windows and doors with internal blinds typically cost more than standard options with external coverings.
Fewer Customization Options:
While styles and colors are available, the range isn’t as broad as traditional blinds.
More Complex Repairs:
If the mechanism fails, repairing it may involve replacing the entire glass unit, which could be costly.
