This is the first venetian blind to solve all the problems associated with using blinds on modern opening windows.

The ISO Design Blind combines innovative engineering with pleasing design to provide practical solutions to shading problems in both home and office environments and also features zone control - a unique and simple system which allows the upper and lower sections of the blind to be set differently.

A small device which attaches to each ladder cord, the zone control offers six settings enabling the top and bottom of the blind to be positioned differentially.

This feature allows the lower half of the blind to be closed for privacy, whilst the upper half can remain open to let light in. Conversely, the upper half can be closed for shading with the lower half left open.

This two zone adjustability is a key to the solution of the problems imposed by the current EC legislation relating to the control of the working environment - now the benefits of natural lighting can be optmised whilst the effects of glare on computer screens is minimised.

The blind can be raised and lowered and the slats can be set to any angle, including dual zones, by using one single control. This mono control is operated by a PVC ballchain, colour co-ordinated to match the headrail selected.

A small ballchain cleat, mounted on the face of the window ensures the exact setting and clean lines of the product are maintained, even when the window is open.

Safety is a paramount consideration in any product which employs operating cords. The ballchain of the ISO Design Blind is joined with a special connector which is designed to open automatically when any undue pressure is applied, making it totally safe in environments where there are children and animals.
