Theatre blackout electric blinds.

Project Brief

Location: Marymount International School London
Sector: Education
Duration:  4 Days

Marymount International School faced persistent light control issues in their south-facing auditorium. Large windows combined with curved pillars allowed sunlight to leak in – especially around the edges – creating an unsuitable environment for stage performances. The existing blinds were frequently malfunctioning, offering no reliable solution.

Installing Theatre Blackout Electric Blinds was the solution.

Key Requirements

01

Site Analysis

Light seeped through gaps around curved pillars and between blinds. Standard blinds were unsuitable due to the building’s structure and window size.

02

Custom Engineering Solution

Boxing in the round pillars allowed for the use of closed cassette, zip-guided blinds to fully block light.

03

System Specification

Motorised zip-case roller blinds with limit-switch motors were recommended for their suitability to 5-metre widths and precise control.

The auditorium now has a durable, blackout-capable blind system with full lighting control and a sleek, integrated appearance.

05

Remote Operation

Blinds can be operated individually, in groups, or via presets using remote control for flexible lighting management.

04

Seamless Installation

Old blinds were removed, power points installed, pillars boxed in, and top-mounted cassettes with internal motors fitted for a clean finish.

What we did

  • Removed old, non-functioning blinds
  • Installed new electrical points for high-mounted blind motors
  • Boxed in curved pillars to allow for secure blind installation

  • Installed four custom 5-metre-wide, motorised zip-case roller blinds

  • Fitted side channels and top cassettes with internal motors and limit switches

  • Programmed remote control to allow individual, grouped, or preset blind operation
  • Completed the full installation in just four days with minimal disruption
