Getting the solution that’s right for your environment
Commercial settings face a host of challenges unique to their nature and usage. Barlow Blinds specialises in solving those challenges and getting the right blinds or shading product for your workspace.
Not all blinds are made equal, and no working environment is the same. A Barlow Blinds Environmental Audit will assess the use and demands of your space, your objectives and the challenges you’re facing, and will identify the shading solution that’s right for your environment.
Developed over decades of working in commercial, healthcare and educational settings, our audit process ensures the best solution for your situation, maximises longevity and minimises future issues and cost.

Your 4-phase Environmental Audit finds the right shading solutions for your workspace:
Situational
Purpose of the Space
This will determine levels of practicality, functionality and aesthetics needed for your shading solutions – a clinic will need different blinds to a corporate apartment.
Users of the Space
This tells us what style of blind may be more appropriate – school classroom blinds should be simple to use with safety features, whereas a hotel may prioritise aesthetics and durability.
Privacy Requirements
The level of privacy is important; your meeting room may need a lower level of obscurity but a clinical consulting room will require complete privacy.

Functional
Automation Requirements
High-end corporate apartments and, increasingly, hotels require full automation for ease and convenience of residents however, schools and offices tend to prefer manually adjustable blinds and shades.
Access/accessibility Considerations
Windows and panels at a height are likely to need some automation, or specific manual controls, for instance in offices or restaurant awnings, as are shading solutions in GP surgeries and clinical environments.
Robustness required for Frequent Adjustments
Some environments by their nature have multiple operators making frequent adjustments throughout a day or night of use, and we can advise on the most robust solutions, or the more flexible options for you.

Aesthetic
Current or Future Décor
Of course, the look and feel of your surroundings will influence which blind or awning solutions we recommend for your space – how it looks now, or how you want it to look in the future.
Room Configuration
How you’ve arranged and move around your space will also influence your options. Brighter or darker areas, smaller or bigger spaces - all need to be considered when it comes to optimising or reducing daylight.
Budget
We offer an impressive range of blinds and awnings for all environments and workspaces and we would be honoured to help identify the best solutions for you, your budget and your timescale.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Room/building Aspect
Blinds and awnings work differently when managing daylight, full-on sunshine and glare, or reflections, and whether your building or work space is north or south facing, west or east will help determine the optimal solution.
Hours of use
The movement of daylight and sunshine throughout the day is an obvious impact on your shading solutions but how the building is lit at dusk, night and dawn may also need to be taken into consideration.
Seasonal Variations
Glare and heat are frequent niggles in the summer, but how chilly it gets in the winter is also a consideration for us to provide you with the right shading solutions.
