Case Study

Environmentally-Conscious Roller Blinds at Filwood Green Business Centre, Bristol

We installed chain-operated and motorised roller blinds at the BREEAM-Outstanding rated Filwood Green Business Centre in Bristol. 

The client was keen to ensure the installation was as sustainable as possible and selected Low-VOC and PVC-free fabrics to ensure a healthy indoor environment. Fascia covers were also installed for a sleek, modern finish.

Case Study

Bat-sensitive Blinds for Gloucestershire College, Forest of Dean Campus

We installed motorised vertical and blackout blinds to Gloucestershire College's new Forest of Dean Campus.

Due to the location of the campus surrounded by woodland, the client required light sensors to be installed, prompting the blinds to close automatically and reduce potential light pollution for the local bat population.
