At A1 Blinds, we cater to a wide range of commercial properties including residential and care settings. Window blinds in these kinds of establishments are absolutely paramount for a number of reasons including privacy, safety and emotiona and physical well-being.  Here are some reasons why we think you should consider window blinds when looking after those at risk or the elderly:

1. Privacy and Dignity: Blinds allow residents to control their level of privacy, enabling them to adjust the window coverings according to their preferences. This promotes a sense of dignity and autonomy, which is particularly important in care home settings.

2. Light Control: Blinds offer residents the ability to control the amount of natural light entering their rooms. Proper light control can create a comfortable and soothing environment, while also helping to regulate sleep patterns and enhance mood.

3. Temperature Regulation: Blinds can help regulate indoor temperatures by blocking or allowing sunlight as needed. This can contribute to energy efficiency and reduce heating or cooling costs.

4. Glare Reduction: Blinds can effectively reduce glare on screens or surfaces, making it more comfortable for residents to engage in activities such as reading, watching television, or using electronic devices.

5. Noise Reduction: Certain types of blinds have noise-absorbing properties that can help minimise external noise, creating a more peaceful and quiet living environment.

6. Safety: Modern cordless or motorised blinds eliminate the risk of cords becoming entangled, reducing the potential hazards for residents, especially those with limited mobility or cognitive impairments.

7. Aesthetics: Blinds contribute to the overall aesthetic of care home interiors. They come in a wide range of materials, styles, and colours, allowing care homes to choose options that complement their design themes and create a pleasant ambience.

8. Hygiene and Maintenance: Blinds made from easy-to-clean materials simplify maintenance efforts, ensuring a clean and hygienic living environment for residents.

9. Customisation: All our window blinds are made to measure and can be designed to fit a wide range of window sizes and shapes, enabling you to create a consistent and tailored look throughout their premises.

10. Convenience: Easy-to-operate blinds, especially motorised ones, provide convenience for residents and staff, allowing adjustments to be made quickly and effortlessly.

11. Security: Closed blinds can deter prying eyes and provide an added layer of security for residents and their belongings.

12. Flexibility: Different areas of a residential building may have different lighting and privacy needs. Blinds offer the flexibility to adjust these elements based on the specific requirements of each space.

13. Mood Enhancement: Well-chosen blinds can positively influence the atmosphere of care home rooms, creating a calm and soothing environment that contributes to residents’ overall well-being.

When choosing care home blinds, it’s important to consider the specific needs and preferences of the residents, as well as the practical and safety considerations of the care home environment.

Fire retardant blinds are specifically engineered to prevent the rapid spread of fire in the event of an incident. In settings where safety is of utmost importance, such as commercial establishments, the presence of flame retardant blinds becomes crucial and in most cases in the UK, required by law.  This is because of their effectiveness in reducing the potential for injuries or loss of life. Here are some reasons why fire retardant blinds are a MUST:

1. Safety: The primary purpose of fire retardant blinds is to enhance fire safety. In the event of a fire incident, these specialised window treatments are designed to resist the spread of fire, helping to contain it within a limited area.
2. Injury and Loss Prevention: Fire retardant blinds can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and loss of life. By impeding the fire’s progression, they provide valuable time for building occupants to evacuate safely and for emergency responders to contain the fire effectively.
3. Property Protection: In commercial settings, fire incidents can lead to extensive property damage. Fire retardant blinds can help protect the interior and contents of buildings, minimizing the financial and emotional impact of a fire-related disaster.
4. Insurance Requirements: Insurance policies for commercial properties may stipulate the implementation of fire safety measures, including fire retardant blinds. Compliance with such requirements is crucial for maintaining insurance coverage and ensuring claims are valid in case of a fire-related incident.
5. Peace of Mind: Fire retardant blinds provide peace of mind for building owners, occupants, and visitors, knowing that there are measures in place to mitigate the risk and impact of a potential fire.

Overall, fire retardant blinds play a critical role in creating a safer environment in commercial settings, offering protection against fire hazards and contributing to the overall fire safety strategy of a building

Following a complete refurbishment of TSG’s Team Valley office in Gateshead, it was only right to complete their new look with new office blinds.

TSG came to A1 Blinds with an open mind. They were unsure of styles and colours and were looking for ideas for their new office blinds. A1 cover all bases when it comes to window coverings, with over ten styles within our range in thousands of fabrics and colours. So, with our help, TSG knew they’d find exactly what their new office needed!

Our team began by visiting the office for a consultation. We offer this service for free to every customer. This is our opportunity to get a feel for the space, the customer’s requirements, and measure the windows.

Choosing the Perfect Office Blinds

It was important to TSG that their new office blinds would enhance their already impressive office refurb. Therefore, colour was a key consideration during the process.

We worked with TSG to choose a fabric colour to match their blue interior accents perfectly. Together we also chose an anthracite grey headrail that matched their windowsills and office furniture. All of which added a contemporary finish to their office blinds!

Aside from the colour, safety and practicality are always a priority for office blinds. The fabric itself is a flame retardant, high-performance window fabric. It has self-coloured backing which effectively manages the impact of solar gain and increases thermal efficiency. The new office blinds will therefore help TSG’s office to stay warm in the winter and cooler in the summer.

By choosing vertical blinds, the team at TSG will enjoy excellent levels of light control throughout the day. This is particularly important for office blinds to prevent glare on screens at different times throughout the day.

Manufacturing and Fitting TSG’s Office Blinds

Our in-house craftsman manufactured 19 sets of vertical blinds for TSG, with sizes ranging from 2.5m to 3.5m in width. Each of the blinds were fitted quickly and efficiently, in multiple rooms across two floors at the office.

The overall result was superb and the team at TSG were thrilled with the outcome and the service provided by A1.

Following the fitting of their new office blinds, Joanne Deane, PA to Board at TSG, emailed us to say:

 “I just wanted to drop a note and say a big thank you to A1 Blinds and your fabulous team! Our blinds were fitted yesterday, they look fantastic and exactly what we wanted.

From my first email from Yasmin to the fit yesterday your team have been great, keeping in touch with any delivery issues (not that there were any big ones) and the speed and professionalism with which the blinds were hung yesterday was brilliant!

Kudos and thanks to Yasmin, Gary, Nick & Russell – what a team!”
