Ambulance Blind Windows

When it comes to high-quality windows and blind units for the ambulance conversion market, nobody does it quite like SGI Ltd. As the UK’s foremost specialist in ambulance glazing, we offer turnkey solutions for PTS vehicles and box-body conversions, from stock windows to fully bespoke units.

Why choose SGI for ambulance blind windows?

  • We are the UK’s leading supplier of windows and integral blind units designed specifically for the ambulance conversion market.

  • We stock a comprehensive range of windows for PTS (patient transport service) vehicles, and we can design and manufacture bespoke windows for box-body ambulances.

  • All windows are manufactured in-house at our Manchester facility, ensuring total quality control and a reliable supply chain.

  • Our windows utilise high-quality European glass, certified under ECE Regulation 43 (UN/ECE R43) for safety glazing materials in vehicles.

  • Our product range is designed with the specific demands of ambulance fleets in mind: privacy, durability, ease of installation and specialist finishes.

Integral Blind Units for Ambulances

One of our biggest-selling items in this sector is our integral blind units, purpose-designed for ambulances. These units deliver both functional performance and patient-comfort benefits.

Key features include:

  • A built-in Venetian blind housed behind van-conversion windows, or delivered as a complete unit with specialist outer glass component for seamless installation.

  • Aluminium slats for the blind, which are strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant.

  • Steel chords (wires) for durability and robust operation in high-use environments.

  • Hard-coat polycarbonate glazing, certified to EU R43 standards for safety glazing in vehicles.

  • The option for digitally printed blinds: you can choose a printed image (for example a calm landscape) to be incorporated into the blind unit for enhanced patient-comfort.

The benefits of our Ambulance blinds

Enhancing Comfort for Dementia Patients

A key benefit of our ambulance blind windows is the positive environment they help create for patients living with dementia. In converted ambulances, thoughtful glazing and printed blind units can contribute to a calmer, more reassuring experience.

How our products help:

- The printed blind option allows the inclusion of soothing imagery. For example a countryside scene, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort to a dementia patient.

- With integral blinds and specialist glazing we can support improved contrasting on seating, floors and steps within the vehicle, helping visibility and orientation for patients with cognitive impairment.

- Reduced glare, improved light control and enhanced privacy all add to a calmer cabin environment, especially important for vulnerable users.

- By partnering with ambulance converters and OEMs we ensure that the window and blind units integrate seamlessly into the patient-compartment design, supporting improved patient experience.



Windows for Box-Body & PTS Ambulances

Whether you need off-the-shelf windows for a standard patient transport vehicle or a fully bespoke solution for a box-body ambulance conversion, SGI has you covered.

- Stock range: a range of windows, pre-designed for commonly used ambulance van conversions, with privacy tint options (10% light transmission) and optional frosted/opaque finishes.

- Bespoke manufacturing: for box-body vehicles and non-standard conversions we can design and manufacture windows to match body curvature (including spherically curved glass) and special layouts.

- Leak-free guarantee: All windows are housed in powder-coated aluminium frames built for longevity and weather protection – we offer a leak-free guarantee for ambulance use.

- Ease of installation: Our ambulance windows are engineered for faster fitting, helping reduce labour and vehicle downtime.
