In most workplace environments such as offices, window coverings are functional items, with most products specified and installed to solve a problem. In simple terms most problems are caused by having windows or glazed screens in or very close to an area of work or storage and are usually one of the following issues – glare, poor visual privacy, overheating due to solar gain or physical damage to goods and equipment due to the harmful effects of solar radiation. All of these issues can result in lost productivity or damaged and wasted assets and stock. Virtually all of these types of problems can be significantly improved or solved completely by effective solar, shade and privacy control using products such as blinds, curtains and plantation shutters. In the workplace vertical, roller or venetian blinds are usually specified as the most suitable shading solution as they are very cost effective and can be installed quickly with minimum inconvenience to workers and staff.
