Consider what you want the Blind to do in the office

In any working environment, there are a number of points to consider when choosing blinds. Are you looking to reduce glare, reduce heat, or increase privacy on internal or external windows.

Excessive glare on IT equipment can cause unnecessary stress for employees, cause lack of productivity and even increase sickness and using blinds to shut out glare is an obvious option.

However having a great balance of external light and vision boosts morale and avoids employees feeling penned in so the choice of blind to achieve this balance is essential.

Consider what direction the windows face

It is often overlooked by business owners where office glazing is located, especially when the glazing is around multiple sides of the building.

Giving thought to whether you have south facing windows which get brighter and hotter than the north facing windows means that different types of blinds will be required for different windows.

Avoid the common mistake of fitting the same types of blinds to all windows as this can cause disruption and an uncomfortable working environment, especially for employees working in and around south facing windows in the summertime.

The way your staff are seated in consideration to the windows is critically important, we understand with space restrictions you cannot always find the ideal position for all staff all the time.

That’s where the importance of choosing different types of blinds comes into play.

Choosing the ideal blind to improve light, heat and privacy control can significantly improve space planning, allow you to use space previously unavailable and allow the employees increased comfort at work which also increases productivity.

Consider theoffice environment and the location of

your staff.
