At Norwich Sunblinds, we’ve known for years how powerful solar shading can be. Now, the research backs it up.
Solar shading solutions—using blinds and shutters—does more than look good. It improves wellbeing, saves energy, and boosts workplace productivity.
Studies by the British Blind & Shutter Association show that blinds positively affect both the environment and employee performance.
Natural Light Boosts Productivity
Natural daylight increases energy, focus, and mood. Workers exposed to daylight score up to 25% better on mental tasks.
- Exposure to daylight increases serotonin levels, which helps regulate mood and reduce stress.
- Lack of sunlight disrupts our body’s natural rhythm, especially when we spend 90% of our time indoors.
- Studies show that people working in naturally lit environments perform better on cognitive tasks.
- Daylight helps maintain energy levels and mental clarity throughout the day.
Smarter Buildings with Blinds
Allusion blinds are ideal for offices.
Many offices use lots of glass for natural light. But glass alone can cause heat loss in winter and overheating in summer.
Well-designed blinds fix this—controlling glare, heat, and light levels to create a more comfortable, productive space.
You could also control your blinds using a temperature levels, or at certain times of the day or night.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective
Blinds help cut energy costs by reducing the need for heating and air conditioning. They also lower the use of artificial lighting.
The Shard in London uses built-in motorised blinds that block up to 88% of heat.
