Liverpool Royal Hospital – A BetweenGlassBlinds Case Study

BetweenGlassBlinds (BGB), our trusted UK partner, recently published an insightful case study featuring their work with the prestigious Liverpool Royal Hospital. Click here to read the full case study.

A Strong Partnership Built on Trust and Experience

European Doorsets (EDSI), a long-time collaborator of BetweenGlassBlinds, contacted BGB after winning a contract from Carillion. The selection followed a competitive tender process involving several other companies. Given their positive history and the proven performance of BGB’s integral blinds, EDSI confidently reached out to discuss the project’s significant scope—supplying 750 units for the new development at Liverpool Royal Hospital.

Why BGB Was the Clear Choice

BetweenGlassBlinds continues to lead the UK market in integral blind systems. Their products stand out for delivering privacy and shading without relying on bulky or intrusive surface-mounted hardware. Hospitals, schools, and other demanding environments consistently choose BGB solutions for their ease of use and low maintenance.

In this case, BGB’s manually operated blinds were specified due to their excellent performance, sleek design, and reliability. Moreover, the well-established relationship between BGB and EDSI helped streamline the product selection and approval process.

Clean, Functional, and Easy to Use

BGB’s magnetic system uses two small but powerful magnets, discreetly embedded around the unit’s edge. This setup gives users full control over the blinds with one smooth motion—allowing them to raise, lower, and tilt the slats effortlessly. As a result, the system not only looks modern but also offers excellent user comfort and functionality.

Because the blinds are fully enclosed within the glass unit, they are protected from damage, dust, and germs. This design offers a clean, hygienic solution—one that never needs cleaning and supports infection control protocols. For healthcare environments where hygiene is a top priority, this is a huge advantage.

Engineered for Healthcare and Beyond

BetweenGlassBlinds systems are widely regarded as the go-to choice for modern hospitals. In addition to their clean appearance and maintenance-free design, they reduce glare, provide instant privacy, and help regulate temperature by limiting direct sunlight. These benefits not only improve patient comfort but also support energy efficiency across the facility.

For large-scale projects like this one, reliability and product performance are critical. BetweenGlassBlinds has built its reputation by consistently meeting those demands. Every panel is designed to perform over time, without the need for upkeep—making it an ideal fit for busy environments where time and cleanliness matter most.

Logistics and Long-Term Planning

Given the size of the order, EDSI developed a structured delivery plan. Weekly shipments began in November 2015, ensuring smooth supply chain flow without delays. The final installation is scheduled for completion in November 2016, with European Doorsets concluding on-site work shortly afterward.

Once the new Liverpool Royal Hospital development is operational, the existing facility will be taken down. The new structure represents a major step forward for patient care and facility design, and BetweenGlassBlinds is proud to play a role in that transformation.

A Lasting Contribution to Healthcare Innovation

This project demonstrates the importance of long-term collaboration, smart design, and a shared commitment to excellence. BetweenGlassBlinds continues to push boundaries in integrated privacy solutions, delivering unmatched value to healthcare environments and beyond.
