Commercial Blinds: Top Tips For Choosing For Your Space

To create the right environment in offices, schools and hospitals, quality commercial window blinds are essential. Here, we explain how to choose the best blinds for your commercial space. Read on to find out which commercial blinds will make your interior pleasant and functional for years to come. 

Why blinds are essential in commercial spaces

Choosing blinds for commercial use can feel overwhelming. Large numbers of people use these buildings, and each person can have different needs. It is essential for blinds to be used in commercial spaces to create comfort for both employees and customers, blocking out sunlight when required and to retain heat if needed. 

When it comes to choosing blinds that best serve all these functions, Allegro Blinds can help. With decades of experience fitting commercial window blinds, we can guide you in choosing commercial blinds that create the perfect environment for your space.

What to look for in commercial window blinds

Before you think about particular kinds of blinds, first consider all the different ways your space will be used. 

For example, if you’re finding blinds for a hospital room where people sleep, the room will need blackout blinds at night. In addition, they’ll need to protect people’s privacy during the day. 

Once you know how your commercial blinds will be used, you can start to look at the best kinds of commercial blinds to meet your needs. 

The best blinds for commercial use 

The best blinds for your space will be both functional and suit the design of your interior. Fortunately, Allegro Blinds offers a huge variety of high quality blinds for commercial use, so whatever your requirements, we’ll have a blind for you.

Commercial blinds for schools

School rooms often need shade for computer screens, as well as privacy for teachers. Further, blinds for schools must be durable, fire retardant and easy to clean. 

Fitted roller blinds – a single piece of fabric wrapped around a casing that fits into the top of your window frame – are a great option for schools. As well as temperature control and privacy, these commercial blinds can be made from blackout material. They’re also durable and very easy to clean.

Blinds for commercial use in hospitals 

Commercial blinds in hospitals must be fire retardant, easy to clean, anti-bacterial and give patients privacy. 

Vertical blinds – vertical lengths of fabric that are clipped to a sliding track at the top – can work well. They give you complete control over light and privacy, while being very easy to clean. Plus, Allegro’s blinds for hospitals come with antibacterial and fire retardant coating. 

Commercial window blinds in offices

Finally, fitted venetian blinds are ideal blinds for commercial use in an office. These blinds – horizontal slats suspended on ladder cords – allow you to control light levels in your office. Plus, they come in different materials, so you can create a harmonious interior that boosts employee morale. Finally, they’re a very affordable option.
