Concealed & Recessed Blinds

The finish Hazelwood's newer architecture is built for

A concealed blind drops from a slim ceiling slot or bulkhead recess, hardware fully hidden. Raise it and the window is completely clean — glass, frame, nothing else. It's the natural fit for the double-volume living rooms, frameless sliding doors and minimalist detailing that a lot of Hazelwood's recent builds and renovations favour, where a bulky headrail would undo the whole design intent.

Best planned early, not impossible late

New builds and major renovations get the cleanest result, because the recess can be built into the ceiling plan alongside downlights, aircon slots and curtain pelmets — the earlier we're in the drawing stage, the neater the finish. Retrofit is still possible on an existing home, using a surface bulkhead or a slim cassette pelmet colour-matched to the ceiling, which is the more common route for an established Hazelwood property.

Almost always motorised

Reaching a hand up into a ceiling slot to pull a chain rather defeats the purpose, so concealed systems are motorised as standard — app, remote or wall-switch control, and nothing dangling for a body corporate to query. It also means no cord anywhere near a child's reach on a ceiling-height opening.

Where it pays off

Premium spend, premium result — this is the product that photographs best and reads as genuinely architect-specified rather than an afterthought. It suits entertainer's living rooms, main bedrooms with a feature window, and any Hazelwood elevation where the glass itself is the design statement.
