Which Is Best: Commercial Window Shades or Blinds?
We’ve all been sat in a restaurant by a window that lets in too much glare or visiting a business in need of new window coverings because their current models are in ill repair. Commercial window shades or blinds make a strong statement, whether they’re effective or not. How do you want your clients to perceive your business?

Interior Views Design Center helps businesses find commercial window treatments that outperform other brands in terms of aesthetics, insulation, design, and operation. Our team members are ready to help you narrow down the selections until we find the right solution, whether it be shades or blinds.
Commercial Window Shades That Block UV Rays
Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are special roller shades that reduce glare and keep outward views intact, as the fabrics filter harsh sunlight without darkening the interior space. Your team can work comfortably on computers without the eye strain that unfiltered sun creates; customers won’t be squinting uncomfortably.
These fabrics block up to 99% of UV rays, protecting furniture, flooring, and equipment from fading. This means your interior investments last longer and continue looking professional. Screen shades come in different openness factors: Tighter weaves work well in conference rooms where you need more privacy, while open weaves suit open-plan offices where visibility matters less.
Commercial Window Shades With Energy-Efficient Design
Cellular shades have a honeycomb structure that traps air in pockets, creating insulation at your windows. This design keeps heat in during winter and out during summer, which can lower your utility bills. These shades also absorb sound rather than bouncing it around the room. In open offices where noise can be distracting, this benefit helps people concentrate better and feel less stressed.
Hunter Douglas cellular shades offer top-down/bottom-up operation. You can lower them from the ceiling to block overhead sun while raising them from the sill for privacy — that’s invaluable for ground-floor offices, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces where you need natural light and discretion.
Commercial Blinds for Offices: Adjustable Light Control
Horizontal and vertical blinds have adjustable slats that let users customize workspace as the sun moves across the sky. This flexibility makes commercial blinds for office buildings especially practical when different sides of your building get sun at different times.
Vertical blinds handle large windows and sliding glass doors beautifully. They stack to the side when open, giving you full access and unobstructed views. Horizontal blinds fit standard windows and bring a clean, professional look to traditional office layouts.
Enhancing Commercial Window Shades and Blinds With Motorization
If you want to make the best impression on clients and employees, we recommend upgrading Hunter Douglas window treatments to PowerView® Automation. This system uses Bluetooth connectivity to provide motorized control of your commercial shades or blinds.
Users can adjust their shades or blinds on the spot or set them to operate automatically on predetermined schedules, even when they’re away. PowerView® Automation works with a mobile app, via the award-winning Pebble® Remote, and smart home platforms for hands-free voice commands.
