Concealed Shading with Blindspace Boxes

What is Blindspace?

Blindspace is a concealed box system for hiding blinds and curtain tracks within walls, ceilings and window openings.

Blindspace at Aperture Shading

We can specify and install Blindspace systems as part of motorized shading packages for complex glazing projects, or to simply future proof your designs. The goal is straightforward: the shading should perform its function without any visible hardware distracting from the architecture.

Where Blindspace can be used

Blindspace can be considered where clean sightlines matter and standard surface mounted blinds would leave too much hardware on show.

  • Skylights and roof windows

  • Large-span glazed elevations

  • Corner glazing

  • Sliding and bi-fold doors

  • Open-plan spaces

  • Double-height interiors

The right Blindspace arrangement depends on the glazing, the available space and how the room will be used. Options can include:

  • Headbox-only, three-sided or four-sided configurations

  • Single or dual-blind arrangements

  • Corner and skylight solutions

  • Unfinished, primed, powder-coated or site-painted finishes

  • Privacy, screen, blackout or insect-screen combinations

  • Provision for motorised blinds and future installation

Planning concealed shading into your project

Blindspace works best when it is considered early, alongside the glazing, ceiling details, wiring and access requirements. We can advise on the right arrangement and installation approach before the project reaches site.

Why it matters for architectural glazing

Standard surface-mounted blinds can work well on standard windows. But with large apertures, roof windows, sliding doors or open-plan glazing, visible hardware can undermine the architecture.

  • Clean sightlines, with no bulky headrail, exposed chains or cables

  • Blackout-ready options when combined with side channels

  • Future-proofing, with the box installed during construction or renovation

  • Dual-blind options, such as blackout and screen fabrics

  • Custom finishes, including RAL powder coating or a skim-coat flange
