When it comes to designing or renovating commercial spaces, window treatments play a crucial role in both aesthetics and functionality. If you are looking to spruce up a dated office building or create a stylish atmosphere in a restaurant or hotel, you’ll need to choose the right blinds or shutters to get the look you require. Read our guide on window shades for commercial buildings to find out the options for your space.
Types of commercial shades:
Concealed box commercial blinds

These innovative box blinds are designed with architects and designers in mind, particularly those in the early stages of renovation projects. The concealed box system works with any size and type of window, gable or skylight, by creating a space inside the wall or ceiling, which your blind disappears into when open. The finished look is clean and uncluttered for a contemporary finish.
Contract blinds
There are three types of contract blinds that work in a number of commercial buildings, these include:
- Roller blinds – a simple but durable everyday blind, great for hotels, hospitals and schools. They can be designed in a wide range of fabrics and colours and come with child-safety clips, making them suitable for any area.
- Vertical blinds – perfect for larger office windows, these blinds are easily adjustable to control light and protect your workforce from the sun.
- Faux wood Venetian blinds – add a sophisticated finish to any business space whilst increasing privacy. As they are completely moisture and warp-resistant, they will last for many years to come.
Motorised blinds

If your business is looking for something a bit more luxurious, then modern, electric blinds are the perfect choice. These shades are ideal if you want a quick solution for controlling light and privacy. If you have multiple windows in a room, our premium synchronised range allows you to control all your blinds at the same time for the most efficient operation.
Wooden shutters
Wooden shutters are a great, versatile choice for businesses, offering not only a stylish finish but also additional security. We recently installed full-height white wooden shutters at a Pilates studio in West Malling. The result was a serene, functional space that offers both privacy and a welcoming atmosphere for clients.
Why window shades matter in commercial spaces
Window shades are more than just a decorative element, they serve a number of important functions in commercial settings, including;
Light control and privacy – commercial buildings often require precise control over natural light. Whether it’s reducing screen glare in an office space or ensuring privacy in a healthcare facility, the right shades can make a significant difference.
Energy efficiency – with rising energy costs, many businesses are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact and save money. The right window shades can help improve energy efficiency by insulating windows and minimise heat loss.
Aesthetics – blinds and shutters can elevate the look of a space, making it more inviting and professional.
