Maximising Functionality and Style in Commercial Spaces with Our Made-to-Measure Solutions

Maximising Functionality and Style in Commercial Spaces with Our Made-to-Measure Solutions

Precision and Style: Made-to-Measure Blinds for Commercial Spaces:

In the commercial business landscape, attention to detail can markedly influence the overall impression and functionality of a space. Among these details, the choice of window coverings is often understated yet significant. At A1 Blinds, we specialise in providing bespoke blinds that cater to the unique requirements of your business. Our solutions enhance not only the aesthetic appeal of your premises but also its functionality with tailor-made precision, energy efficiency, and longevity. Our goal is to assist your business in creating an environment that is as visually appealing as it is practical for your operational needs.

Custom Fit for Every Commercial Setting:

No two commercial spaces are the same, and their windows are just as unique. Standard blinds often don’t suffice for the diverse requirements of commercial windows, whether in offices, cafés, or shops. We fill this gap with custom-made blinds, crafted to fit specific window dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Energy Efficiency at Its Best:

Energy efficiency is paramount in today’s commercial environment. Our made-to-measure solutions do more than just dress your windows; they boost your space’s energy efficiency. By providing a precise fit, our blinds act as an additional insulation layer, reducing heat loss in the colder months and keeping out draughts. This leads to noticeable savings on energy bills and helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your space. Our range, including Pleated and Roller blinds, offers optimal thermal insulation, while options like aluminium and wooden Venetian blinds allow for effective sunlight control, lessening the need for air conditioning.

Reflecting Your Brand’s Identity:

Your business’s unique brand identity should be echoed in every aspect of your space. We offer a wide range of styles, materials, and designs, enabling you to select window treatments that mirror your brand’s ethos, from sleek aluminium Venetian blinds to the natural warmth of wooden ones.

Durability Meets Design:

Durability and style are essential in commercial spaces. Our blinds are not just bespoke in design but also made with high-quality materials, ensuring they withstand the demands of commercial use and become a lasting feature of your space.

Professional Service from Start to Finish:

From the initial consultation to the final installation, we provide a comprehensive, professional service, ensuring everything is managed with minimal disruption to your business operations.

Bespoke Solutions for Diverse Needs:

Our tailored solutions cater to various commercial environments. We offer blackout blinds for areas such as presentation rooms, and solar protective coatings for sunlit spaces. In settings where privacy is crucial, such as healthcare or legal offices, our blinds balance seclusion with a professional appearance.

In places like art galleries, where natural light is beneficial, our blinds control light exposure while keeping the space bright. For high-traffic areas in the hospitality sector, we provide durable, easy-to-clean options, and for luxury spaces, a variety of elegant, stylish choices.

In educational and corporate environments, our products help reduce glare in computer labs and offices and offer noise reduction for open-plan areas. We ensure that each solution not only fits the window perfectly but also meets the specific functional requirements of your space.

Elevating Your Commercial Environment:

Choosing the right window treatments is more than just a finishing touch; it’s a strategic decision that shapes the character and functionality of your commercial space. Our bespoke blinds offer more than just window dressing. They are a key element in crafting an environment that is both aesthetically pleasing and perfectly attuned to your business’s operational needs. With A1 Blinds, you gain a partner committed to enhancing your space’s energy efficiency, brand identity, and overall ambience. Our comprehensive range of solutions caters to the unique demands of different commercial settings, ensuring that each choice you make is a step towards a more refined and efficient workspace.

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

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.
