WORKSPACE DESIGN TO TRANSFORM YOUR OFFICE space – choosing the best shading systems for your office
The comfort of your employees at work is essential to a healthy and productive workplace. Turnerarc’s design service can recommend and provide premium architectural and workspace design advice for your office space when it comes to light and shade. Physical comfort, visual and thermal factors have a significant role to play in the office environment and these two factors are largely impacted by the shading systems of the office, so it’s important to carefully consider what kind of shading system is going to provide the most comfort for those working inside.
When your office is shaded effectively, not only will you be more likely to have contented employees, but your company or business could have a greener impact in the community with lower cooling and heating bills. Shading systems can be installed internally, externally, or a combination of both, depending on the needs and configuration of the office space. These are our recommended shading systems for best results in office spaces:
Roller blinds
Another versatile kind of internal shading, roller blinds are easy to use and easy to maintain without sacrificing aesthetics and practicality. Along with ease of use, roller blinds are great for temperature control as they’re efficient with blocking excessive heat in the summer, and holding in the heat during the winter. With a selection of fabrics to choose from, Turnerarc’s roller blinds can be installed to provide ultimate comfort in any level of light.
Curtains/Drapes
Drapery provides a practical yet decandent touch to a workspace that can be opened and closed depending on the mood. Using curtains to delineate a meeting area and private workspace from the rest of the office allows the separation of space without having to rely on walls.
Sheer curtains will help to enhance yet control the natural light hence creating the environment that brings good vibes into an office space and helps keep energy levels up. These coverings are stylish, convenient, comfortable, smooth, affordable, and effective.
External Straight Drop Blinds and Screens
The simple yet contemporary design of zip screen or straight drop blinds can be unified seamlessly for any office windows. They are stylish and long-lasting alternative to traditional awnings and roller shutters.
Fixed screen outdoor sunshades can reduce undesired heat within the office by choking up to 90 percent of warmth and UV received from direct sun onto your casement and also offers shielding
from rain and gusty wind as well as providing a sleek external finish to any window. The fabric is wind tight in any position thanks to the fixscreen technology.
Louvres
Louvres are an excellent option when it comes to external shading. With a visual aesthetic similar to shutters, specialty louvres offer a modern yet traditional appearance. One of the best features of specialty louvres is that, unlike shutters, they can be automated and adjustable, so they offer a flexibility with temperature and light control that other forms of external shading doesn’t. Turner Arc also provides the option of vertical or horizontal installation, along with a variety of materials to choose from, so there’s plenty of room for customisation for a specialty louvre that’s just right for your office building.
Aluminium awnings and External Shutters
Similar to a louvre system when it comes to thermal control, aluminium awnings are a great alternative as an external shading system that’s more low-maintenance and affordable. Aluminium awnings can be installed in a fixed position, on a hinge, or on a sliding track, so there are options for buildings of all shapes and sizes. If your office is located in a coastal or industrial area, Turnerarc’s external shutters offer additional benefits as our installations include a custom powder coating for your windows, which help to protect against corrosion in such environments.
