Mid-Pane Blinds

Mid-pane blinds are where the blind is fitted between two panes of glass

Blinds that are fitted between glass tend to keep cleaner than those fitted outside of the glazing and their ability to reflect excess heat in the summer and retain heat in the winter is typically better than internal blinds fitted outside of the glass.

Venetian blinds are the most popular blind for this application although pleated and cellular blinds can be used and if the gap between the glass is large enough other blind styles can be fitted this way.

Typically venetian blinds are operated by a knob to tilt the slats and in some instances this is the only control. It is possible to have cords to raise and lower the blind also accessible on the frame of the window with a cleat to secure these cords.

In some glazing micro venetian blinds are hermetically sealed between the glazing and operation of this type of blind is by a slider to tilt the slats or sometimes by a magnetic control.

Mid-pane blinds are also known as; Double-glazed blinds, secondary glazing blinds, partition blinds, interstitial blinds, coupled sash blinds.
