What Are Roller Blinds?
Before we get into the details, let us explain exactly what roller blinds are! Roller blinds consist of a single piece of fabric wrapped around a casing. This casing (or headrail) fits at the top of your window, either inside or outside the window.
The blind is operated by a pull cord or a chain, which allows you to roll the blinds up and down as you wish. There are also motorised options available - ideal for saving energy and ease of use.

Not only that, but our fabrics also boast a range of impressive qualities. At A1 Blinds we stock flame retardant, antimicrobial and thermally efficient fabrics. Our blinds can work harder than simply blocking out the sun!
They help businesses save money
Another reason roller blinds are great for commercial spaces is their ability to increase energy efficiency. In winter, roller blinds will prevent warm air from escaping a room and in summer, they reflect the sun’s rays away. They’ll keep a workplace warm in winter and cool in the summer and reduce the need for central heating and air conditioning!
Standard roller blinds do a good job of this, but if you choose our solar protective fabrics, they’ll do a great job! Our solar protective range will help reduce your energy costs by up to 16%.

Nobody likes glare, especially in the workplace! Roller blinds are perfect for commercial spaces where glare is a concern. Simply close the blinds where necessary, and employees can work in a comfortable environment.

They offer privacy control
If you’re workplace deals with private or sensitive matters, blinds for privacy are going to be at the top of your list! Great news, roller blinds are perfect for privacy. When closed, you’ll benefit from full privacy from anyone on the other side.

Something often overlooked is the ease of use! The last thing you want in a workplace is blinds that are difficult to operate and therefore end up broken. So, another reason to choose roller blinds for your commercial space is that they open and close with ease, at the pull of a cord or a chain.
