Morley Glass has introduced six new colours for its exclusive ScreenLine® SL16 slim integral blind system, giving homeowners a more contemporary colour palette to choose from when considering an upgrade to their existing windows and doors with an integrated shading and privacy solution.
The first of the six new SL16 colours – Agate Grey (S120) – debuted at the 2025 FIT Show, attracting strong interest given how this light shade of grey, characterised by its subtle green undertone, is growing in popularity for windows and doors more generally.
Agate Grey is joined by a choice of contemporary colours – Beige (S125), which offers a soft tone that works well with many neutral décor schemes, plus chic Grey (S155), Metallic silver (S156), the ever-popular Anthracite (S159) and, for homeowners seeking to make a bold statement, Black (B160). The three original SL16 colour options complete the range – White (S102), Cream (S149) and Silver (S157).
In addition to the retrofit market potential, SL16 continues to be an ideal option for vertically sliding sash (VS) windows, and it can be used for 28mm IGUs where a higher security performance is sought.
Ian Short, Managing Director of Morley Glass, said: “It is fantastic to be able to offer the slimline SL16 system in a range of colours that is really in tune with today’s home décor trends, just as we do with all the other ScreenLine® integral blind systems. The SL16 is certainly not a niche product – in fact, it is a system with enormous potential for two key reasons.
“Firstly, for many homeowners who want to upgrade their existing windows and doors with integral blinds, they will only be able to retrofit using a 24mm IGU. So, SL16 makes replacing the IGU with an integral blind without having to replace the frame totally feasible. Perfect for those who choose to improve rather than move.
“Secondly, the SL16 fits inside the cavity of a 28mm IGU with an enhanced security specification that complies with the requirements of Secured by Design and Part Q. Such IGUs feature a pane of 6.8mm, P1A laminated glass, which is compatible with SL16 when the 28mm unit is made to a 6.8-16-4mm configuration. That’s a really appealing proposition to cost-conscious housebuilders and developers, as it gives them the ability to include integral blinds within their new build homes without having to jump up to 32mm IGUs.”
