Workplace
Keep the daylight. Lose the washout.
Workplaces need to limit reflections and heat gain while retaining useful daylight and a coherent appearance across different elevations.
Desks, meeting rooms, façades
Measured daylight, screen comfort and a consistent architectural finish.
Who uses the space
Occupied desks and meetings
How we programme it
Evenings and phased floors
The key challenge
VDU glare versus daylight
Where we cover
Lancashire & nearby
The Brief
The elevation should look designed, even from the car park.
Measured daylight, screen comfort and a consistent architectural finish.

What we specify
Recommended Systems
Starting Points, Not a Fixed Package
The survey confirms fabric, controls and the exceptions that do not belong in the standard type.
Option 1
Solar-control roller blinds
Fabric openness aligned with elevation and screen orientation
Option 2
Day & Night systems
Blind widths coordinated with mullions for a cleaner façade
Option 3
Motorised blinds
Motor groups and control strategy reviewed before electrical sign-off
Option 4
Vertical blinds for broad glazing
Installation sequenced around occupied teams rather than a single shutdown
Final suitability follows a site survey, the project brief and any required performance standards.
On Site
What We Check Before We Order
- Sun path and screen orientation
- Façade consistency from outside
- Desk positions and control access
- Motorisation and power availability
Typical Spaces
Rooms We Regularly Specify
Open-plan workspaces
Fabric openness follows the elevation and the desks that face it.
Meeting and board rooms
Presentation glare and a finished perimeter matter more than a matching desk toy.
Reception and client areas
The elevation should read as one building, not a collection of private choices.
Breakout spaces and satellite offices
Same family of systems, with exceptions recorded rather than improvised.
Surveys cover Nelson, Burnley, Blackburn, Preston and surrounding Lancashire areas.
