Functionality. Aesthetics. Energy efficiency.
Those are some of the big things that today’s trending window treatments accomplish in commercial spaces. From offices and conference rooms to hospitals and restaurants, popular trends include the likes of commercial roller shades, wood blinds, vertical blinds and more. Take a look at some of the trending commercial window treatments so you can determine if they’re a fit for your property:
Roller Shades
Roller shades are as simple as they are effective and versatile. They combine style, control daylight and are easy to operate. What’s more, they’re available in a range of colors and fabrics.
What makes roller shades so nice is that they can be easily lowered and drawn to optimize natural daylight at certain parts of the day. Even when they’re drawn, light can still pass through them – especially if you have solar roller shades, which don’t obstruct outdoor views but prevent some of the discomfort the sun’s rays can pose to working conditions. Their ease of operation and control over how much sunlight is filtered can also lead to improvements in energy efficiency and prevent heat loss during the winter and cool air loss during the summer.
While roller shades can be opened and drawn manually, they can also be outfitted with motors and programmed to automatically open and close. Some can even be controlled via mobile app for additional convenience.
Wood Blinds and Faux-Wood Blinds
For commercial environments that are going for more of a home-like feel, wood blinds or faux-wood blinds are the perfect fit. Wood and faux-wood blinds are ideal for school classrooms, hospital rooms, hotels, offices and more.
While wood blinds are an ideal option, faux-wood blinds resemble real wood and are available at a lower cost. ย Some of the benefits of faux-wood blinds include:
ย * ย ย Fire retardant properties
ย * ย ย Durable and scratch-resistant
ย * ย ย UV resistant
ย * ย ย Moisture resistant
Faux-wood blinds are also crafted from recycled materials, thereby minimizing the need to source natural wood. Furthermore, because of their durability, faux-wood blinds are also long-lasting, meaning they don’t need to be replaced as often as natural wood blinds and other types of window treatments. ย They are easy to clean and available in a variety of styles and colors to match any environment.
Vertical Blinds
Available in a variety of colors and materials, vertical blinds are another great option for properties looking for a modern feel. Vertical blinds are ideal for a variety of property locations and work very well for large windows. ย Offering ideal light control and privacy, vertical blinds are a simple privacy solution allowing you to completely block out the night or daylight and fast opening when you want to let the natural daylight in.ย
Like roller shades, vertical blinds can also be outfitted with motors to allow for automated opening and closing.
Window Film
Window films can help enhance privacy, while still letting in natural daylight and providing unobstructed views of the outside. Most window films are installed easily and can also be easily removed. There are many different types of window films that property owners can select from. There are solar control window films, RF/IR attenuating window films, films that offer blast control protection and decorative window films.
