Made-to-Measure Blinds for Commercial Spaces

Precision and Style in a Commerical Space

In the realm of commercial business, where every detail is pivotal, the choice of window coverings plays a crucial role in defining both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space. A1 Blinds, with our expertise in creating bespoke blinds, stands at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that your commercial space is not just visually appealing, but also practical for your operational needs.

Customisation: Tailoring to Unique Spaces

Every commercial space is unique, with windows that demand individual attention. Standard blinds often fall short of meeting the diverse requirements of commercial windows, whether they’re in offices, cafés, or retail shops. This is where A1 Blinds makes a difference. Our custom-made blinds are crafted to fit specific window dimensions, ensuring a flawless fit and a tailored look that standard options simply cannot match.

Maximising Energy Efficiency

In today’s eco-conscious commercial environment, energy efficiency is not just a buzzword, but a necessity. Our made-to-measure blinds do more than beautify your windows; they enhance your space’s energy efficiency. By providing a snug fit, they act as an insulating layer, cutting down heat loss in winter and keeping out draughts, leading to significant savings on energy bills. From Pleated to Roller blinds, our range is designed for optimal thermal insulation, while choices like aluminium and wooden Venetian blinds allow effective sunlight control, reducing the need for air conditioning.

Branding Through Design

Your brand’s identity should resonate in every corner of your commercial space, and window treatments are no exception. A1 Blinds offers an array of styles, materials, and designs, allowing you to choose window treatments that reflect your brand’s ethos. Whether it’s the sleek appeal of aluminium Venetian blinds or the warm, natural feel of wooden ones, our selection ensures your brand’s identity is consistently presented.

Combining Durability with Aesthetics

In commercial environments, durability is as crucial as design. Our blinds are not only bespoke in design but also crafted with high-quality materials. This ensures they endure the rigours of commercial use and become a lasting element of your space.

Seamless Professional Service

Our commitment to professional service extends from the initial consultation to the final installation. We ensure that the entire process is managed with minimal disruption to your business operations, guaranteeing a seamless experience.

Diverse Solutions for Every Need

Our tailored solutions cater to a wide range of commercial environments. From blackout blinds for presentation rooms to solar protective coatings for sunlit spaces, we balance functionality with style. In settings where privacy is key, like healthcare or legal offices, our blinds offer the perfect mix of seclusion and professionalism.

In art galleries, where natural light is a boon, our blinds provide light control without sacrificing brightness. For the hospitality sector, we offer durable, easy-to-clean options, and for luxury spaces, we present a variety of elegant, stylish choices.

In educational and corporate settings, our blinds help reduce glare in computer labs and offices and offer noise reduction for open-plan areas. Our commitment is to provide solutions that not only fit perfectly but also meet the specific functional needs of your space.

Elevating Your Commercial Environment

Selecting the right window treatments is a strategic decision that shapes the character and functionality of your commercial space. Our bespoke blinds are more than mere window dressings; they are integral in creating an environment that is aesthetically pleasing and perfectly suited to your business’s operational needs.

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
