Your choice of window coverings can make a big difference in the feel of a workspace or commercial building.

Benefits of Window Blinds or Shades:

• Privacy
• Savings on heating and cooling costs
• Control over the amount of sunlight entering a room
• A good way to improve the aesthetic of a room

And window coverings are not just for windows. Many companies use them to separate spaces and to hide work areas.

Some things you want to consider when picking out commercial window blinds is how you will be using the room, the size and shape of the windows, how much natural light you want to allow into the room, and how easy it will need to be to raise and lower the window coverings. Window coverings in Utah often have to serve double duty. Keeping the cold out in the winter and the heat out in the summer.

Types of Commercial Window Coverings

Manual Roller Shades

Roller shades can come in a variety of fabrics and screens, letting you pick from a spectrum of sheer to opaque materials depending on how much light and privacy you are looking for. Depending on the type of material you choose, roller shades can look natural and organic or bold and contemporary. Some styles even allow you to print your own graphic or logo onto the shade.

Roller shades are often very economical. And their simple and robust design makes them an ideal choice for buildings with very tall and large windows.

Motorized Roller Shades

In buildings with large or numerous windows, manually controlling the roller shades is just not practical. Motorized roller shades are perfect for when you have to darken a room quickly for a presentation or when you have tall windows that are not easily accessible.

There are also several choices for controls, whether you are looking for a remote control, an external controller, or an automatic controller that can be programmed to rise or lower at a particular time.

Motorized roller shades are also safer because they don’t have loose cords that children can get tangled up in.

Horizontal Blinds

Horizontal, venetian, mini-blinds, or louver blinds can be economical and provide great light control. They are available in everything from metal, faux wood, wood and vinyl—and come in a huge variety of colors and finishes.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are a great choice for wide windows. The vertical blinds also have a dramatic look that helps make a room feel roomier and taller. They do an excellent job at blocking out light while still allowing the air to circulate. They come in a wide variety of choices and are made from materials like fabric, faux wood, wood, vinyl, and aluminum.

Solar shades

If you don’t necessarily want to block the light, but you do want to block the heat, than solar shades are a great choice. Designed to let natural light through while keeping out the heat and glare, solar shades can save you a lot of money in cooling costs.

Cellular Shades

Also known as pleated shades or honeycomb shades, this kind of window shade is incredibly versatile. They can be cut to size for windows with unusual shapes and can be installed vertically or horizontally. Because there are no cord holes or slits, they also provide a lot of privacy. But they are most noted for their ability to trap air between the combs—making them great sound and thermal insulators. If you are looking to block out street noise or to improve energy efficiency, these are a great choice.
