Everything you need to know about our Marine Blackout Screens
Solarglide offer two unique and distinctive fabric choices, which can be viewed below in the ‘Colour Collections’ section. The DART collection is a PVC based fabric that is hard wearing, easy to clean and mould resistant. The CARNIVAL collection is made from recycled polyester yarns and is also suitable for moist marine environments. Both Fabric ranges are FR approved to standards BS5867, Part 2: Type B 2008 and specifically tested for offshore usage.
Solarglide blackout screens are available as cassetted or non cassetted blind solutions; they can be manually operated, battery operated, hard wired or motorised. Standard manual operating mechanisms include single or double pulley system, centre pull handle, level pegs, sidewinder chain or cable guides. The Solarglide team will always recommend the best solution for your vessel’s requirements.
Providing both privacy and security, Solarglide blackout blinds are robust and durable, ensuring improved sleeping conditions for crew and passengers alike. Powder coated cassette and bottom rail profiles come in white or light grey, with further unique RAL colours are available on request.
Solarglide retractable cassetted manual roller blinds are enclosed in a reinforced aluminium casing, making them extremely durable onboard all vessels.
Where space is a premium, our non-cassetted blackout screens provide privacy and security without the necessity for a cassette covering.
Integrated into a ship’s power supply, our motorised screens are ideal for windows in hard-to-reach areas or cabins, passenger areas and public spaces.
Our eco-friendly, solar powered screens with battery help reduce onboard power requirements by providing their own solar energy.
