Blinds & Shading for Schools & Colleges

Blinds fitting in Manchester college

Many staff and students working in school and college buildings can experience discomfort caused by the presence of windows and glazed screens in areas where they are trying to work. Problems such as glare from the sun, overheating due to solar gain as well as insufficient visual privacy for confidential activities are issues being experienced not only in rooms in older educational buildings but also in many of the newer school and college buildings which have been constructed or refurbished in very recent times. Many of these problems affecting the usability and functional comfort of the environment can be significantly improved and sometimes even solved completely with simple shading products such as window blinds.

As well as dealing with comfort issues due to poor shading and solar control, many schools now have to regularly adapt the lighting levels of their spaces to meet the requirements of a variety of activities that many school environments nowadays support. This is particularly common in many newly constructed educational buildings where many rooms have been designed to be multifunctional in order to reduce the total number of facilities required for the school or college. Such multifunctional rooms will often require room darkening and black out solutions that can be employed to adapt the lighting levels in the room practically but also swiftly so that quick changeovers between activities can be achieved to meet timetable requirements.

Chorlton Blinds can help you achieve the positive benefits that effective solar, daylight and privacy control can have on improving the usability of school environments. Our consultants are experts in the equipment, systems and controls for room darkening and blackout. We would be happy to work with you on your project whether at design or retrofit stage. It may also prove useful to walk around your existing educational buildings with you to discuss any issues you may already be experiencing due to poor solar control and shading.

Testimonials

  • Andrene Mills, Chorlton

    Great, friendly service from Liz at Chorlton Blinds. Very happy with our new blinds and would use again

  • Lisa Gibson, Chorlton

    Thank you Liz and Chorlton Blinds for my amazing blinds! They are gorgeous. With so many bespoke designs and colours to choose from it was tough decision initially as I liked them all. Liz was so good at helping me to visualise what would work and gave great advice on colour schemes and fitting. She was very professional, efficient and the whole process was very straightforward. Liz even took the time to call in during the fitting to check I was happy and was genuinely keen and excited to see them up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chorlton Blinds and will certainly go back in the future for any additional blinds or curtains.

  • Julie Manford, BurnageJulie Manford, Burnage

    Liz went out of her way to ensure I had my blinds installed in my studio as quickly as possible ready for an event I had on. Excellent service, would highly recommend!

  • Sarah McNally, Chorlton

    We'd used (a national blind company) before we knew about Chorlton blinds. We found Chorlton blinds so much better in price, service and overall quality. Great in-home service, Liz was super flexible with fitting as we were painting so wanted to delay fitting - all no problem. Really quality finish. Very pleased. Highly recommended.

  • Simon Revington-Dean, DSE SolutionsSimon Revington-Dean, DSE Solutions

    Dear Liz,
    Huge thanks for the amazing job you did with the blinds you provided for me recently. This was part of an office refurbishment we were carrying out and the blinds had to be both practical and hard waring but also vibrant to add some essential colour. You made the whole process extremely easy with some great advice and by matching the colours perfectly to that of my clients corporate branding.
    It has been a great relief to find someone as knowledgeable as you that I can trust to work with on other projects in the future.
    Thanks again
    Simon Revington-Dean

  • The Lawtons, DidsburyThe Lawtons, Didsbury

    Thanks to Chorlton Blinds and Liz for great customer service, a good price and their attention to detail. It made the process very painless and the result delightful.

  • Jayne Wilson, SaleJayne Wilson, Sale
    Dear Liz,
    Having recently moved into my very first house, I was eager to purchase some high quality blinds to fill my very large empty Victorian windows.
    The service you provided from start to finish was excellent. You assisted me with styles and ideas, as well as offering me various quotes quickly and communicating with me every step in terms of time scales.
    Less than 3 weeks after ordering my blinds, they are now fitted. To say I am delighted is an understatement. The fitter was extremely friendly, professional, and tidy, and more importantly, I now have 4 fantastic sets of blinds that have transformed the look of my house from both the inside and out.
    I would certainly not hesitate using Liz and her team again and would certainly recommend Chorlton Blinds to anyone I know.
    Yours sincerely
    Jayne Wilson
  • Afshin Sajedi, Cheadle HulmeAfshin Sajedi, Cheadle Hulme

    Dear Liz
    I would like to thank you for the recent Wooden Venetian Blinds & couple of Roller blinds your team supplied and fitted at our house in Cheadle Hulme. The difference between your service and other blind companies was you attended once, took pictures and did measurements then you attended again to double check everything was as we wanted before we place the order. I was impressed with your perfectionism and for the time you spent, the quality of products and the excellent service you provided.
    I will recommend you and Chorlton Blinds to all friends, families and all my contacts.
    Best regards,
    Afshin Sajedi

    Thanks again so much.
