Don’t turn a blind eye to the benefits of commercial blinds. They may be something that you think belongs in the background (literally!), but installing a new set of blinds in your workplace can actually have a bigger impact than you realise.
More than just being nice to look at, commercial blinds have practical, functional and even psychological benefits that can boost your staff’s productivity and help keep your business operating at optimal levels.
You might think that commercial blinds aren’t something you need to give too much thought to. However, our office blinds offer a whole host of benefits to your office environment.
So, if you have an office in the Leeds or Wakefield area, come to Solaire Blinds and we’ll kit you out in style!
Commercial blinds create a bright, vibrant and uplifting environment
Whether you’re in an office or a retail space, installing bright and colourful commercial blinds can help to create a vibrant, dynamic and pleasant environment. In turn, this can have a positive impact on your employees and lift the mood, morale and motivation of your staff.
Colours have been proven to evoke certain emotional responses. For example, yellow elicits happiness, orange is synonymous with energy, while blue is commonly associated with calmness (which can help if your line of work tends to be quite stressful!) It also conveys quality and professionalism to your customers, clients and visitors.
At Solaire Blinds, we have a whole range of colours, shades, patterns, styles and designs of blinds to choose from. You can even choose a colour scheme that matches your company’s branding to create a professional, uniformed look in your workplace.
Reduced sun glare and distraction
Obviously, a major function of blinds is to provide shade and protection from the sun. This is important in any environment, but especially crucial in the workplace. Glare from the sun (particularly during those summer mornings) can be a major distraction for employees who do most of their work in front of a computer screen, inhibiting their ability to do their job properly and efficiently.
Unlike traditional curtains, commercial blinds allow you to easily, quickly and manually counteract this problem with a simple pull of a toggle or twist of a wand.
Increased Security and Privacy
Commercial blinds hide the interior of your office or retail space from the prying eyes of burglars or nuisances, which is especially useful if you have a lot of expensive technology, equipment, or stock.
Having blinds sends a message that the owner is security-conscious and has other measures in place. It takes just a few seconds to put your blinds down when you leave or lock up the office, which is critical for blocking prying eyes when your business premises are vacant. If your primary purpose for purchasing new blinds is to increase privacy in the office, sheer blinds may be the perfect option for you.
A Bespoke, Customisable Solution for All
Our made-to-measure window blinds and plantation shutters can suit any commercial space you can think of, from offices and schools, all the way through to restaurants and pubs. From antibacterial coatings and durable child-safe mechanisms to fire-retardant finishes and wipe-clean fabrics, we’ve got it all! If sustainability is a key priority, heat retention features and solar protective coatings can also be implemented, providing energy efficiency for your business space.
Before creating your bespoke blinds, we’ll discuss your requirements with you in detail, before conducting an on-site survey to ensure we always find the best blinds for your needs. It doesn’t matter if your windows have unusual shapes either, as every blind we make is created specifically to the needs of the customer.
Cost-Effective and Affordable
Our commercial blinds are not only competitively priced, but they’re cost-effective in the long run. All of our blinds are made from the best-quality materials, built to your exact specifications with expert craftsmanship and installed professionally.
As a result, they’re built to last and don’t require regular maintenance or repairs. What’s more, their temperature-regulating capabilities help to cut costs further by reducing your energy bills and boosting heat retention.
A Natural Boost to Productivity
Natural light can boost productivity within your business. Installing bright, beautiful and bespoke commercial blinds in your office can complement the sun, making for a much more pleasant working environment without compromising the light. This approach can also improve the mood and motivation of your employees.
Because they’re effective at blocking out the sun glare from computer screens, our commercial blinds can limit external distractions and make it easier for your staff to remain productive and efficient when working.
Simple and Easy to Use
Our commercial blinds are anything but complicated. A large selection of our window blind types operate on a sliding mechanism, meaning they can be raised or lowered with the simple pull of a chord or the twist of a wand.
It’s even easier with our motorised electric blinds, which can be moved up and down smoothly with the press of a button. Our motorised blinds can be powered by batteries, the mains, a power adaptor or solar energy, providing you with lots of options.
Regulate Temperature Effectively
Believe it or not: Commercial blinds can actually help to regulate the temperature in your office, often having heat retention technology built into them.
Our blinds can distribute heat appropriately by keeping the heat in when it’s cold and keeping the heat out when it’s hot. This innovative design helps to conserve energy and lower the high business costs of using central heating or air conditioning.
Boost Your Promotional Efforts
Commercial blinds can be an easy, effective and affordable way of getting your business’ name out there. Our high-quality and high-resolution branded blinds can be customised to showcase your company’s logo, message, and brand colours to entice shoppers passing by.
Roller blinds are a perfect option for branded blinds thanks to their flat, canvas-style surface and versatility. Find out more about how our commercial blinds can save your business money here.
