When working in an office environment, it is important to create a space that is comfortable, productive, and adaptive all year round. That’s why at Designer Shade Solutions, we have created a range of shading structures to help with productivity. One of our popular products includes external screen blinds, which offers many advantages and enhancements to your property. Here, we are going to run through why external blinds are an excellent option for your office or workspace, helping to create a functional environment.
Temperature and light control
Let’s start with one of the greatest benefits of external blinds, their ability to adapt to varying temperatures and light control. External blinds can maintain an ambient temperature whilst still allowing light to pass through, so you don’t need to worry about blocking out natural daylight. In fact, these blinds reduce the penetration of sunlight by up to 90%, saving you money on costly air conditioning units. What’s even better is our external blinds offer UV protection, sheltering you from harsh rays whilst also extending the blinds product life, as the UV component prevents sun damage.
Custom-made features and technology
Another beneficial feature of our external blinds is that they can be customised to meet your specification. For instance, you can combine your external blind with automated wind, sun, and rain sensors to help dictate when the blind will need to retract. Not only this, but our futuristic radio-control systems allow you to operate your blinds with the click of a button, creating ease and comfort so that you can focus on getting back to work.

Advantages over internal blinds
Commercial internal blinds are the more commonly known shading system and we have a variety of these available at Designer Shade Solutions. However, traditional internal blinds do not reflect heat as effectively as external blinds and they can also become damaged more easily, particularly when exposed to young children or pets.
On top of this, internal blinds do not provide the same energy efficiency as external blinds. As mentioned, external blinds create optimum heat, reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer. In the winter, these blinds can also reflect heat back into the window, meaning you’re less likely to need heating. With the current rise in energy costs this is a clearly a great solution to save money!
