Commercial environments for blackout blinds

There are a variety of commercial environments where either increased darkness or fully blocked out light is required for the efficient running of that business. We are experienced in providing different options of blackout blinds to these environments in:

• flame retardant
• solar reflective, or
• wipe clean fabrics

each of which can be printed with images or logos of your choice if required.

• Offices/boardrooms/training rooms where computer screens or projectors are used
• Science laboratories or photographic studios where complete darkness is required
• Hospitality environments to aid sleep or combat visual distraction
• Educational environments and children’s day nurseries
• Healthcare environments and surgical theatres

Blackout blinds for increased darkness

Blinds manufactured from blackout fabrics will help to make a room darker but will not block out light completely, due to the light bleed that is possible around the edges of the blind.

For areas that do not require room darkness, in addition to roller blinds, other blind options include vertical blinds, venetian blinds, pleated blinds, panel blinds and roman blinds.

Vertical blinds and venetian blinds will have a light bleed around the edges of the blind and through the gaps between the louvres or slats. Whereas the pleated blinds, panel blinds and roman blinds will have a light bleed around the edges only, therefore making these three types of blind slightly more effective at darkening the room than vertical and venetian blinds.

These types of blind are specifically suitable for:

• Meeting rooms with projectors
• School classrooms
• Testing laboratories
