Back to Black-Out

Back to Black-Out

Over recent months we have seen that it has become increasingly difficult to access financial support which has had a detrimental affect on the housing market as a whole. The stagnant property market has meant that people have been unable to sell their houses and so driven a huge rise in the amount of people undertaking home improvements. With this contemporary trend of homeowners improving rather than moving, Global International Trading is introducing a brand new and stylish blackout roller system for the domestic market.

The Cassette 42 Blackout Roller System is a sleek and efficient blackout system offering the ultimate in comfort and privacy for the home. Perfect for bedrooms, or places where room darkening is a requirement, the Cassette 42 enables light to be controlled with the use of an endless chain system which in turn allows total blackout to be achieved.

Different from other blackout cassette systems, the Cassette 42 boasts an aesthetic, sleek, slim line profile, to neatly fit neatly into the recess. With hardware available in White, Cream, Silver and Black, the product really will suit any surround. The Cassette 42 system also has the added benefit of a brush system on both the top and bottom profiles to eliminate all excess light. With its easy to use top fix brackets installation is effortless.

To complement the stylish hardware is our range of high performance, fire retardant, contemporary blackout fabrics. These fabrics offer optimum light absorbance and are the ideal choice for energy efficiency. The Cassette 42 Blackout Roller Blind system is the perfect, modern addition to any home.

Aluminium Cut Down Programme

Aluminium Cut Down Programme

The aluminium venetian has been considered a staple product of the blind industry for decades. Sleek and contemporary in appearance and with unrivalled versatility, the aluminium venetian has really elevated itself over recent years, to be a timeless and practical window furnishing solution. Innovations within the metal venetian blind sector have attributed to a very apparent growth in this market sphere and have in turn developed the need for a more customary, blanket product to appeal to the mass market. Therefore, priding themselves on listening to their customer base and after much success with their bespoke Aluminium Venetian programme, Global International is delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of “Senosi” Aluminium – a quality and competitively priced cut-down Aluminium Venetian product.

Built on the success of previous cut-down product ranges from Global International, “Senosi” Aluminium again perfectly combines impeccable craftsmanship with the UK’s most popular colour choices in one affordable package. With sizes available from 450mm to 2400mm and a choice of two drops as standard, this product caters for all domestic needs.

Global International has put resources into ensuring that the “Senosi” Aluminium offers unsurpassable quality. Made on the sought after 25x25mm head rail system the “Senosi” Aluminium cut down range can rival even the high-end, bespoke ranges on the market, and the 21 micron slat affirms the calibre of the product to the market.

Paul Kentor, Managing Director of Global International, is excited to announce the imminent introduction of this impressive product to the industry. Working alongside their bespoke aluminium venetians, the “Senosi” Aluminium will enable Global to become a “one stop shop” for made to measure venetians. “The juxtaposition of these two ranges means that Global can provide the ultimate choice in aluminium venetians; with quality products now available in both the 19x27mm and 25x25mm headrail system”, says Paul.

Global International is dedicated to bringing you a first class, efficient service, and continually strives to improve systems and procedures to ensure these high standards. If you require any further information on “Senosi” Aluminium please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team. We look forward to hearing from you.

Window blind

Window blind is a specific type of window covering which is made with slats of fabric, wood blinds, plastic or metal that adjust by rotating from an open position to a closed position by allowing slats to overlap. Metal window blinds are often used outside of the house or business to protect against theft, temperature, vision, bad weather and fire (in fire-prone areas). Often these blinds are machine-operated, rather than hand operated.

Vertical blinds – ideal for controlling the amount of light coming into a room.
Venetian blinds - offer a versatile and stylish way to filter or cut out light from your room.
Wooden Venetians Blinds - available in shades of walnut, pine, oak, and chestnut.
Roller blinds – come in a wide choice of colours and patterns to look great on any sized window.
Roman blinds – fully-lined and in soft fabrics ideal for a modern alternative to curtains.
Pleated blinds - gently filter the light to bring a warm glow to your room.
Woodweave blinds - made from renewable resources including jute, bamboo and poplar wood.
Skylight blinds – skylight roller blinds specially designed to fit skylight windows.

The Global International Wood Programme

The Global International Wood Programme

Global International has announced further investment in its wood programme due to the successful launch of Privacy.

Since the introduction of the product at the turn of the year, Global International’s Privacy Wood Venetians have proven to be an immensely popular addition to their portfolio by successfully combining exceptional quality with affordable prices. Having been almost diametrically opposed to the ethos of many competitors supplying cut-down wood products back in January when the product was launched, we are pleased to say that our clients have really bought into the notion of going back to basics and are championing our mantra of quality is the key.

Hot on the heels of the success of Privacy, we are pleased to announce the arrival of the new Gloss Black and White Wood Venetians; another superb cut-down offering.

Available in 35mm and 50mm slats with a robust aluminium head rail, the Gloss Black and White are a stylish and contemporary take on wood venetians.

A New Beginning

A New Beginning

As 2009 draws to a close, we can look back and clearly see the effect that the current economic climate has had on the industry. This time of turbulence has seen the closure of so many businesses that have been unable to cope with the financial pressures the year has posed. Recently we have seen the effect of aggressive competition in the industry, particularly in the Wood Venetian market, with prices and quality plummeting in a desperate attempt to retain business. However this relentless strive for rock bottom prices appears to have done nothing more than devalue the product as a whole. During this time of commotion, unlike other suppliers, Global International Trading has put resources into sourcing an exceptional quality Wood Venetian at an affordable price – set to take the industry by storm.

2010 will see the launch of the Global International Trading Privacy Blind, a premium Wood Venetian blind collection boasting remarkable finishing with unrivalled light control. Occasionally referred to as a “no holes blind”, the Privacy Blind eliminates the use of traditional punching holes by placing a small, discreet punching hole at the back of each slat. This enables superior privacy and maximum light control as virtually no light is able to penetrate through. The “no holes” finish ensures the Privacy Blind collection offers a sleeker aesthetic to other Wood Venetians on the market.

Every detail on the blind has been considered from the elegant trapezium shaped bottom bar for improved closure, to the clip, easy to fit valance system. The wide range of grains and colours available are all finished with a UV coating to ensure the Privacy collections durability is unmatched.

Operationally the Privacy Blind is superb due to its high quality tilt mechanism and state of the art cord lock system. This cord lock system allows the blind to be raised and held without the additional movement of the cords to lock the blind in position; a real advancement in the Wood Venetian market. With a variety of fitting options available too, the Privacy Blind really is the definitive Wood Venetian.
