In depth

Every industry has its own glare problem. Pick yours to see what the blind does there, which one fits, and who already uses it.

Commercial and office blinds

Commercial window blinds and office blinds that staff can see through

Typically used

Chain BlindMotor Blind

Most commercial office blinds block the glare by blocking the window. Ours cut the heat and glare on west facing office windows, shopfronts, restaurants and high rise commercial buildings while the view and the daylight stay. Less load on the air conditioning, fewer screens turned away from the window, and a passive drop in energy demand that a facilities manager can measure. Business window blinds and industrial blinds for windows are made to the same specification as everything else we build.

See more of what it can do
  • Sun shades for office windows that keep the view. Window sun protection without a dark office.
  • One commercial specification for every blind. The same product in a two window shopfront and a forty floor tower.
  • Motorised ready. Motor Blinds for large, high or hard to reach glazing, run from a switch or remote, with a whole facade on one control. Chain Blinds where nothing needs wiring in.

Plant cab blinds

Cab blinds for excavators, cranes, forestry and mining machines

Typically used

Mini CassetteCabin Blind

Operators work facing the sun for a full shift, and a blind they can see through is the difference between squinting at a screen and reading it. Our compact cab blinds fit excavators, cranes, forestry machines, tractors and mining plant, protecting the operator and the equipment from UV while keeping the line of sight clear. Compact housings suit the small, steeply angled glazing in an operator cab.

See more of what it can do
  • Cab blinds that mount where a standard blind will not. Compact housing, angled glazing, fitted to the cab.
  • Visibility and UV protection in one. For the operator and for the assets inside the cab.

Marine solar blinds

Solar blinds for ships, boats, wheelhouses and offshore platforms

Typically used

Mini CassetteCabin Blind

Marine blinds have two jobs: cut the glare off the water so the crew can read the instruments and see the horizon, and retract in seconds when the weather turns. Our marine solar blinds, sunblinds to some crews, are specified for ship bridges, boat wheelhouses, naval vessels, patrol boats, tugs, ferries and oil rigs, with marine grade hardware and a compact cassette that fits the raked, angled glazing on a bridge.

See more of what it can do
  • Anti glare blinds for ships that you can still see through. The water glare goes, the horizon stays.
  • Retractable in seconds. Full sun to inclement weather without leaving the helm.
  • Micro and compact cassettes for boat windows. Fits the small, angled glazing a standard blind cannot.

Some people call them solar shades, solar screens, sun blinds or sunscreen blinds. Same product. They are not a tinted film stuck to the glass: the blind is removable, retractable and made for the window. Choose the operation and housing that suits the glazing.
