Find The Perfect Blind For Your Office<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Here at DotcomBlinds<\/a>, we always have a perfect blind for everyone in stock. While most of our customers are looking to update their home\u2019s d\u00e9cor with new blinds, we also understand that we have some customers with more specialist needs, like business owners buying window shades for their offices.<\/p>\n

This is why we have a range of commercial window blinds<\/a> that are perfectly suited to all office environments, whether you\u2019re a startup looking for some shade or a FTSE 1000 company fitting out a new office building.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to purchase a set of new blinds for your office, we\u2019d recommend that you check out our range of commercial blinds designed with office spaces big and small in mind.<\/p>\n

While each office will have its own unique needs, we have found that businesses tend to have four important features in mind when shopping for new office blinds.<\/p>\n

So, what are these four big features companies look for in their office blinds? Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n

Fire Retardant Fabrics (Required By Law)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s start with the most important feature to look for when buying commercial blinds for your office: Fire retardant fabrics! In any office or commercial space in the UK it is a legal requirement that any window shades you use are made with fire retardant fabrics, to minimize fire risks, protect your employees and adhere to government regulations.<\/p>\n

Luckily, each and every single one of our commercial blinds<\/a> is made with fire retardant fabric as standard, meaning that when you buy your office blinds from us, you can rest assured that your blinds will comply with the UK\u2019s fire safety legislation and regulations.<\/p>\n

Colours To Match Your Company\u2019s Branding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Perhaps one of the most important features to look for when buying new window shades for your company\u2019s office is finding a blind that meshes well with your company’s branding. In a sleek stylish office, you\u2019ll want to either pick a colour that matches your branding, or a colour that contrasts with it.<\/p>\n

Here at DotcomBlinds, we have commercial blinds for offices<\/a> available in every colour of the rainbow, which should make it pretty easy to find a blind that will mesh with your company\u2019s branding. We recommend ordering some FREE fabric samples, to help you identify the best fit for your new office blinds.<\/p>\n

Dimout Fabrics For Preventing Screen Glare<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In open-plan office areas, one of the main purposes of your blinds should be to dim outside light to minimize any screen glare that could be disrupting your employee\u2019s work, while also keeping the office space nice and bright!<\/p>\n

In our range of commercial blinds for offices<\/a>, we have a wide range of \u201cDimout\u201d blinds which will filter outside light, preventing screen glare on your employee\u2019s computers and ensuring your office is a productive space.<\/p>\n

Blackout Blinds For Protecting Sensitive Areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In more secure areas of your business, you may want to prevent people on the outside from looking in with a blackout blind, whether you have a ground floor meeting room where privacy is essential, a storeroom filled with valuables you don\u2019t want outsiders to know about, or you have a big new initiative you don\u2019t want competitors spying on.<\/p>\n

For these secure areas, one of our commercial blackout blinds<\/a> will help secure privacy and security for your office space, preventing anyone outside the building from peering in, and keeping your company and its secrets incredibly safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
