Office & Commercial Blinds

Direct sunlight can often be a significant nuisance in the office, creating glare on computer monitors and fading fabrics and other decorative apparel. The best way to counteract this issue in your workplace is by installing blinds.

Modern styles and fabrics mean that you can be far more flexible about how you keep the sun out, allowing you to breathe new life into your office. Poles & Blinds have a comprehensive range of blinds in various styles and colours to suit the needs of your office, from patterned Venetians to neutrally toned Roman blinds.

Creating the Right Ambience

Blinds come in an almost limitless range of colours and patterns, so finding the one to suit the tone of your office is essential. Workplaces with a more creative décor scheme may look to have a more distinctive set of blinds to adorn their windows. There are a number of blinds in our collection boasting decorative patterns and louder colouration to give your office an exciting splash of colour. Likewise we also have a great selection of more subdued pastel and wood effect colours to suit the more conservative office space. Which is why finding a blind that blends in with office decoration should be no problem at all.

Functional Commercial Blinds

The primary purpose of a blind is to keep excess light out, therefore it is essential that the blind for your office not only fits in with the décor, but that it is functional in your particular environment. In offices that experience constant light intrusion throughout the day you may well require a blind that can remain shut whilst emanating a mellow glow. Conversely in offices where bright light is a relatively infrequent issue a more flexible blind, which can change to suit the changing light throughout the day, may well be a more practical solution.

Versatile Office Blinds

The most versatile and arguably the most popular office blinds are vertical and venetian blinds. Their popularity is largely borne out of the blinds' ability to be closed partially or fully at the pull of a cord.

Venetian blinds are composed of horizontal slats usually produced from metal or wood. The choice of materials means that there is almost a limitless variety of colours and wood effects to choose from when selecting the right venetian blind.

Vertical blinds are an equally popular choice. As the name
suggests, they hang vertically and are drawn horizontally,
they are therefore particularly useful for larger office
window spaces. As with all of our blinds, vertical blinds can
be made to measure for your office's requirements. They
can be fitted for widths of up to 500cm and lengths of
400cm, easily accommodating most window sizes. Unlike
the venetian blinds, vertical blinds are made from a durable
fabric which can come with a number of treatments including flame retardant and light reflective properties as well as Teflon coatings to give extra strength and durability.

Blocking Intrusive Sunlight

Where light is a significant problem, or in offices where presentations are frequently held you may well require the kind of coverage that only a solid blind can offer. Pleated and roller blinds offer a more complete protection due to their singular, but less adaptable construction.

Pleated blinds are a concertina shaped blind, which, coupled with the fabric used, can help diffract the heat and light away, keeping the office shaded and cool. Depending on your choice of fabric and style, you can get a blind that will either emanate a warm sunny glow over the office or cause a complete blackout. Likewise roller blinds are available with different fabrics to either radiate a soft light or shut it out completely.

Roller blinds are exceptionally simple but hugely effective. Constructed from a large single piece of material, the roller blind can be raised and lowered using a roller mechanism. As a large, solid piece of fabric, these blinds have far greater capacity for attractive colours and patterns. They are therefore an ideal blind for creating a decorative statement within a workplace, or for ensuring that the current scheme is continued throughout the office.

Added Protection for Commercial Blinds

As with all of our fabric blinds, the roller and pleated blinds are available in a number of materials and finishes with each offering an array of protective qualities. Therefore certain blinds come with features such as heat reflection, stain resistance, tough Teflon coating and flame retardant treatment. The range of special finishes will allow you to better find a blind that reflects the industry you work in and ensure they remain as good as new for a long time to come.
