Office blinds

WHAT TYPE OF BLIND?

Roller, Vertical or Venetian blinds? There has been a definite lean toward roller blinds for the office environment for several years, many designers and end users feel that they give a cleaner less cluttered look but this is always down to your choice.

Vertical blinds do lend themselves to the wider window but also take up more space on the window bottoms.

which fabric?

Solar protection fabric (Screen fabric) enables the amount of natural light in the room to be controlled and  gives a reduction in the disturbing light and dark contrast of light within employee's field of vision and therefore reduces eye fatigue which will ultimately lower productivity.   When choosing a solar protection fabric you need to be aware that it can become a light source if sunlight strikes it directly...and this is why darker fabrics control glare much better than lighter fabrics because it diffuses less light. This is why there tends to be more shades of grey in most fabric ranges. Glass, which is a material that is symbolic of high-performance modern architecture, is now given priority by building designers in order to facilitate the entry of natural light, outward visibility, panoramic views, and the well-being of employees. Benefiting from suitable solar protection enables optimal control of the contribution made by natural light. 

Choosing the right blind and fabric combination can lead to significant cost savings for air conditioning in your office in addition to glare reduction on display screen equipment.
