Office Blinds & Solar Shading Solutions
Create a productive, comfortable, and energy-efficient workspace.
Modern offices are dominated by screens and glass. While natural light is essential for wellbeing, uncontrolled sunlight leads to glare, eye strain, and overheating—all of which kill productivity.
At Unidrape, we specialise in high-performance office blinds that balance light control with outward visibility. From single meeting rooms to full building fit-outs, we supply and install durable systems designed for the demands of the commercial environment.
The Challenge: Glare vs. Natural Light
The biggest complaint in office environments is “Screen Glare.” Standard domestic blinds often force you to choose between sitting in the dark or squinting at a monitor.
Our Solution: Technical Screen Fabrics
We recommend high-performance “Screen” fabrics for office environments. These specialised fabrics feature an “openness factor” (typically 1% or 3%) which filters UV rays and harsh light without blocking the view.
- Eliminate Glare: Reduce light intensity to prevent monitor washout and eye strain.
- Maintain Views: Staff can still see outside, reducing the feeling of being “closed in.”
- Uniform Appearance: Gives your building a consistent, professional look from the exterior.
Energy Efficiency & Heat Reduction
Window treatments are a critical part of your building’s thermal management.
- Reduce Cooling Costs: In summer, our solar-reflective blinds can reject up to 80% of solar energy before it heats up your workspace, significantly reducing the load on your air conditioning.
- Retain Heat: In winter, they provide an extra layer of insulation, reducing heat loss through glazing.
Recommended Systems for Offices
Heavy-Duty Roller Blinds
The industry standard for modern offices. Clean lines, robust mechanisms, and easy to operate.
- Best for: General office areas, glass partitions, and reception areas.
- Options: Chain operated, crank handle, or motorised.
Vertical Blinds
This is the most flexible option for directing light. By tilting the louvres, you can block the sun’s direct path while still allowing ambient light to enter from a different angle.
- Best for: East/West facing windows with changing sun angles, and large floor-to-ceiling glazing.
Motorised & Automated Systems
If you want to future-proof your boardroom or have high-level windows, motorised systems are the ideal choice.
- Smart Control: We can integrate blinds with your Building Management System (BMS) to automatically lower when the sun hits a certain intensity.
- Cord-Free: A sleek look with no hanging chains—perfect for high-end client meeting rooms.
