Thank-you Marlin Windows for a great job! You designed and built all the windows in our renovation project including sliding doors and bi-folds with care and consideration.

No More Cleaning

Choose manual or electronic operation.
All of our systems feature the world’s number one integral blind system, ScreenLine®.
C system – magnetic control
The C system, designed with the rotational, frontal, magnetic control for raising and tilting a blind integrated within a double-glazed unit, utilises the force produced by two coupled, rotational, magnetic devices.
One set of magnets is inserted in the blind head rail within the cavity and the other applied to the external glass surface.
SV system – Cordless slider
The ScreenLine® SL20SV system is a manually operated sliding Venetian blind which features a single, cleverly designed magnetic slider to control the whole operation.
Positioned on a narrow slide guide on the edge of the sealed unit, this allows the blind to be raised, lowered and tilted with ease completely cord free.
S system – Slider
The ScreenLine® SL20S is a manual system comprising a 14mm pleated blind integrated within a double-glazed unit with 20mm cavity.
The blind movement is achieved by a magnetic device positioned centrally on the outer surface of the internal pane sliding across the glass surface.
This external magnet interfaces with a similar internal magnet located in the movable rail and it is so designed to absorb possible glass deflections.
COLOURS AND GLAZING
Our aluminium frames are polyester powder coated by our systems suppliers using the very latest paint application techniques guaranteed for 25 years.
Fully compliant with the latest June 2022 building regulations, our standard double glazing is the exceptional light-transmitting, energy-saving ClimaGuard® A+ low-emissivity (Low-E) glass manufactured by Guardian Glass.
