Solar Shades for Businesses
There are countless types of commercial spaces in the beautiful state of Alabama. From hair salons and art studios to legal offices and advertising agencies, the variety is plenty. However, there is one common thing each space wants to achieve for its workers and or clients: comfort. For example, have you ever been unproductive because the summer sun causes a glare on your screens? Have you seen shoppers enter your space only to turn around after commenting on how hot it is? From light control to temperature regulation, keeping your business comfortable for everyone is key.
What Are Solar Shades?
Before discussing these benefits, we want to answer the common question of how solar shades differ from regular shades. While all window treatments provide some shade from the sun, solar shades are specifically designed to block glare and harmful UV rays while still letting in natural light. Often boasting a minimalist appearance and available in various fabric colors, these shades easily complement any office style.
Benefits of Solar Shades
Glare Reduction
Glare is a productivity hindrance in commercial spaces and offices alike. Whether you're typing a report, checking someone out at the register, or giving a presentation, sunlight disrupting your screens is unacceptable. One of the benefits of solar shades for commercial spaces is that they filter harsh light into a beautiful glow while preventing it from bouncing off your screens. This allows workers and clients to enjoy some sunshine without needing to reach for their sunglasses.
UV Protection
Replacing desks, chairs, flooring, and other commercial space accouterments is bound to happen over time. However, the one thing that can accelerate that timeline is UV damage. If the sun is constantly beating down on your business, it can cause the interiors of the space to fade rapidly. Though still allowing natural light to enter your space, business solar shades prevent harmful UV rays from causing permanent damage over time. For even more light control, ask us about the Duolite® system or Dual Roller design available with Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades.
Customization
The interior design of your commercial space sets the tone for your business. Whether your business is sophisticated and poised or bold and funky, selecting window treatments that complement your space's aesthetic helps tie it all together. Hunter Douglas Solar Shades come in over 130 fabrics and color choices, ranging from neutral to colorful. These beautiful shades also come with a wide variety of operating styles, giving you the freedom to decide if you want to control your solar shades with a beaded loop, automated system, push/pull system, retractable wand, spring-assisted system, or motorized wand. Our team of experts is happy to discuss these operating styles in more depth with you during your consultation!
