Window Treatments

Window coverings are an important component of a productive work environment, as they can affect thermal comfort and energy usage--both of which affect a business’ bottom line. Many of the office interiors we design today are based on a clean, airy design with open work areas around the periphery of the space to encourage collaboration. Those open spaces can turn into a liability when there is glare or intense sunlight.

New window covering technology has produced shades that manage the sun’s heat and glare. The light-filtering qualities of sun-control fabrics diffuse light, reduce glare, and help control interior temperatures. These materials also help reduce the fading of textiles and interior furnishings. Sun-control fabrics effectively provide energy-efficient solutions by reducing the amount of solar heat gain. When recommending window coverings to our clients, we give careful consideration to function, durability, budget and aesthetics.

Window coverings no longer mean blackout drapes and shades to block the sun. Many companies want to utilize natural light, but that light can be a liability, especially in late-afternoon sunlight. Innovative materials mean that pulling down the shades doesn’t have to mean being relegated to sitting in a darkened room.
