Screenline SL20A or C Between the Glass Venetian Blind

*ScreenLine® is a trademark of Pellini SpA

Kyler Industries' SL20A or C system features an integral venetian blind encapsulated in insulated glass. This blind system allows venetian blinds to be placed inside a sealed insulated glass unit and operated externally with no intrusion of the perimeter seal of the insulated glass unit. The SL20A or C system can typically be used in conjunction with most conventional glazing systems. This includes interior and exterior applications.

Typical applications include:

- Wood frames

- Hollow metal steel frames

- Commercial aluminum frames (storefront and curtainwall)

- Doors: wood, steel, aluminum -- Click to view detailed drawings

 

The SL20A or C system can be utilized in virtually any framing system that can accommodate an overall glass thickness of 1" to 1 1/4".

The SL20A or C system features a minimum airspace thickness of 3/4". The overall minimum unit thickness is 1" (utilizing 1/8" inboard and outboard glass). See glass section below for available glazing options.

Operation

The movement of the integral blind is controlled by magnetic force transmitted through the glass via two rotating magnets. Both magnets are “rare earth” type magnets specifically manufactured for this type of application. Magnets are heat resistant (up to 248°F) and have a usable life expectancy in excess of 100 years. This exclusive magnetic design is patented worldwide.

All integral blinds are available in “tilt only”, as well as “lift and tilt” type operation. Size limitations do apply.

Other Operational Information:

Blind Function Options

- Tilt only type operation – (model SL20A) - defines an integral blind that will strictly open and close

- Lift and tilt type operation - (model SL20C) - defines an integral blind that will open and close as well as lift

Knob Operator

- Used exclusively with "tilt only" blinds

- Typically used in applications where the actual knob is located where the end user can conveniently reach the knob operator (usually 7 ft. or less from the finished floor)

- Can be permanently adhered to the interior glass surface

- Can be removed when operational accessibility needs to be limited

- Available in a light gray finish only -- Click to view Detailed Drawings

Cord Loop Operator

- Can be used on "tilt only" and "lift and tilt" blinds

- Upper operator and lower cord tensioner are permanently mounted to the interior glass surface

- Cord can be any desired length in 1” increments

- Available in a white finish only -- Click to view Detailed Drawings

Blind Control Operator Options

SL20A or C integral blinds have a number of interior control operators. All operators are located in the upper right or left corner of the blind unit. Listed below are the blind control operator options available.

Wand Operator

- Used exclusively with "tilt only" blinds

- Wand operators consist of the actual operator and a clear acrylic tilt wand

- Typically used in applications where the operator is too high from the finished floor for a knob operator

- Wand length can be up to 108" long

- Wand operators allow the actual operation point of the blind to be at virtually any height (via the specified length of the tilt wand)

- Wand operators are permanently mounted to the interior glass surface

- Wand operators are available in a white finish only. The actual tilt wand is clear acrylic.

- An optional magnetic wand retainer also is available. This ensures the wand is always secured against the glass when not in use -- Click to view Detailed Drawings

Components

All SL20A OR SL20C blind systems feature the following:

- All SL20A or C integral venetian blinds require a minimum .750” (3/4 inch) thick air space. The internal perimeter air spacer is aluminum. The air spacer finish is clear anodized.

- The venetian blind slat is aluminum alloy 6010-T8. The actual slat size is .500 (1/2 inch) wide x .008 thick.

- The head rail and bottom rail are extruded aluminum alloy 6063-T5.

- All integral aluminum venetian blind components are color matched. All aluminum components are painted with polyester UV resistant low-emissivity paint.

- All internal plastic components are made from high temperature, UV stable material.

- All ladder tape and lift cord are thermally fixed polyester and UV resistant.

Blind Colors Options:

- All blind components (head rail, bottom rail, blind slats) are color matched

- SL20A or C blinds are available in 5 different colors

Size Limitations

All integral blinds are available in “tilt only”, as well as “lift and tilt” type operation. Size limitations do apply. Factors influencing the available unit size are:

- Aspect ratio (relationship of width vs. height).

- Blind units can be produced significantly larger in “tilt only” blinds compared to “lift and tilt” blinds.

- Thickness of the interior glass. As the interior glass becomes thicker, the greater the loss of magnetic force that transfers through the glass. Consequently, this reduction in the magnetic force, impacts the overall unit size that can be produced.

Minimum width: 14 inches

Maximum width: 80 inches

Minimum height: 14 inches

Maximum height: 102 inches

Glass Options

SL20A or C integral venetian blinds will work with most types of glass. Our standard insulated glass unit always consist of fully tempered inboard/outboard glass ranging from 1/8" to 1/4" thick.

The internal airspace is 3/4" thick (minimum). The overall insulated glass unit thickness varies from a minimum thickness of 1" (using 1/8" glass), to a thickness of 1 1/4" thick (using 1/4" glass).

Listed below are the typical types of glass incorporated into our insulated glass units:

- Tinted tempered glass (bronze, gray, green, blue, etc.)

- Clear tempered glass

- Pyro-litic Low-e tempered glass

- Laminated glass

- Hurricane resistant glass

- X-ray shielding glass

- Fire rated glass (Not UL listed)

Listed below are the types of glass that Kyler Industries will not use in conjunction with the SL20 A or C integral venetian blinds:

- Soft coat Low-e (or any type of soft coat coating)

- Argon gas (or any type of gas – krypton, etc.)

If you wish to incorporate a type of glass into a SL20A or C integral venetian blind unit that is not listed above, please contact us to confirm availability.

*Note: As always, some exceptions do apply (code requirements, building inspector requirements, etc.). Therefore, we recommend that you contact us in the early design stages of your particular project. This process will allow confirmation pertaining to the viability of your particular application of integral blinds.
