In this guide

In an office, windows affect how people work. Glare on monitors, heat from the afternoon sun and a lack of privacy in meeting rooms all make a space less comfortable. The right blinds and curtains fix these problems while keeping the space bright and professional.

Types of office blinds and curtains

Sunscreen roller blinds

The most common choice for workspaces. A fine, open weave reduces glare and solar heat while keeping the view outside. Roller blinds are compact and look tidy in long rows of windows.

Vertical blinds

Ideal for wide windows, glass walls and sliding doors. The slats tilt to direct light and draw to one side when you want the view. See vertical blinds.

Blackout blinds

For training rooms, boardrooms and spaces with screens or projectors, blackout roller blinds darken the room on demand. See blackout curtains and blinds.

Curtains and drapery

Executive offices, reception areas and function rooms often use curtains or sheers for a softer, more welcoming look. Heavier drapery also helps soften echo in large rooms.

Reception and lobby	Sheers or drapery	A softer, welcoming look

Controlling glare and heat

Sunscreen fabrics are described by their openness: a more open weave keeps more of the view, while a tighter weave blocks more glare and heat. West-facing offices take the strongest afternoon sun, so they benefit from a tighter weave, or from blackout blinds in rooms with screens.

A consistent look across the floor

From the street, an office building’s windows read as one façade, and inside, rows of mismatched blinds look untidy. Choose one fabric family and colour for the whole floor, and keep the same mounting height and control side where possible. In-house production helps here, because every blind is made the same way.

Planning blinds for a whole floor or building

For larger fit-outs, start with a window schedule listing every window by room with its size. Share drawings or photos, note which rooms need glare control, privacy or blackout, and agree the fabric and colour before production. We work with owners, developers and project teams on single offices and whole buildings.

Care and maintenance

Dust blinds regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum attachment, and wipe vertical blind slats individually when needed. Avoid soaking fabric blinds or using harsh chemicals. Curtains in reception areas should be vacuumed regularly, and lined curtains are best professionally cleaned.
