I have Anglian double glazed windows which have were fitted about twelve
years ago as I understand it. I have been considering getting blinds for
some of them and recently read an "intu" brochure giving details thereof. My
understanding if that the frames are held in place with thin metal or
plastic plates inserted between the glass and the interior window frame.
What I was wondering is whether this may affect the integrity of the inner
seals? The windows are often subjected to stormy weather with rain coming
almost horizontally at them.

I would be most helpful if anyone with experience of blinds of this nature
could advise me as to whether or not my concerns are justified.

These are common in offices in glazed partition walls, but in that case
the units don't need to be sealed.

However, I think I've seen some where they are in a sealed unit, and
the slats' motion is done via magnets through the glass. No idea if
that's how the ones you've seen work though.
