Choosing Modern Office Blinds to Enhance Your Business Premises

If you are looking for a way to update your office environment, think no further! Today’s modern office blinds can make a world of difference by giving your office a new, fresh, professional look. Blinds create a pleasant atmosphere, as they are light, yet manage to block out sun, and there is a wide range to choose from nowadays. Gone are the boring old dusty, fabric covered vertical blinds that filled the windows of nearly all the office buildings in the sixties and seventies, and now we can say hello to a whole new generation of modern office blinds in wide range of sizes and materials!

Common Types of Modern Office Blinds

• Vertical blinds: These hang in vertical slats along the window from a rail, and can be opened and closed as needed. They can also be drawn away from the window to open it completely and let sun or light in when needed. They are commonly found in offices because they tend to offer low maintenance, and the light can be adjusted as required. Because the slats are vertical, they don’t gather a lot of dust, and therefore are easy to clean. Vertical blinds are probably the first blinds ever to decorate office windows, but since then, the neutral colours and coarse fabrics have given way to a whole new way of designing and using blinds, and they come in a variety of modern materials and colours.
• Venetian blinds (horizontal blinds): This is a practical choice because there is a wide variety to choose from. Materials include aluminium, wood and plastic, and their modern design has made them increasingly desirable, and easy to install and maintain. More modern designs have given them the edge over vertical blinds, and they are highly practical when it comes to controlling light and airflow.
• Roller blinds: With a completely different design to both of the above, roller blinds are making a huge comeback in offices. While the typical, traditional roller blinds were made of fabric and tended to be cumbersome and gather dust, the new, sleek design uses thin, dust-resistance fabrics on a roller, and there is a wide range of colours, designs and fabrics to choose from. This makes them perfect for any office, and just about any colour scheme or office design. Because there are no separate slats or openings, they have a sleek, modern look that will suit just about any environment. On top of that, they can also be automated – in certain green buildings they are connected to sensors that enable them to open and close automatically as the sun moves around the building.

What to Consider When Choosing Modern Office Blinds

Figuring out which types of blinds will suit your office environment the best doesn’t have to be difficult. You have to consider the following factors before making a choice:

• Light control: If the office is going to be used to view presentations or anything on a screen, it may be advisable to get blinds that can block out light completely, in order to make the screen more visible.
• Insulation: Blinds are extremely effective at providing insulation and can dramatically reduce energy costs. A lot of heat or cooling can be lost through windows, and getting the right blinds can help to sustain an ambient temperature in the office.
• Visual impact: Offices don’t have to be boring, and getting the right types of blinds to adorn your windows can make a huge difference to the look of the office. It is no longer necessary to stay with boring colours, and blinds in a variety of colours can enhance a brand’s colour scheme or echo company colours throughout the building. Think modern office blinds, not boring office blinds!
• Window shape: Obviously, it is vital to get the best type of blinds for the window shape, but new developments in technology have made it possible for almost any blind to fit almost any window shape. Some options may cost more than others, because they may be more difficult to shape according to the design of the window, but it is still possible. Even arch windows can now be accommodated by modern office blinds!
