Commercial Blinds in Edinburgh

Window blinds for offices, schools, shops, restaurants, care homes, and commercial properties across Edinburgh and central Scotland. Fire-retardant, motorised, and blackout options available. We handle everything from a single office to a full building fit-out.

Why Edinburgh Businesses Choose Us

Commercial blinds need to do more than look good. They need to meet fire safety regulations, withstand heavy daily use, control glare on screens, and sometimes operate across dozens of windows simultaneously. Off-the-shelf blinds from a catalogue cannot handle these requirements. That is why businesses across Edinburgh come to us.

We manufacture commercial blinds in our Leith workshop, which means we control the specification, the quality, and the timeline. We work directly with you from the initial site survey through to final installation. No subcontractors, no middlemen, and no surprises on delivery day.

Whether you need roller blinds for an open-plan office, aluminium venetian blinds for a school, or blackout blinds for a conference room, we supply it all. Fire-retardant fabrics meeting BS 5867 standards are available across our full range.

Sectors We Work With

We have fitted commercial blinds in every type of Edinburgh business. Each sector has specific requirements and we tailor our approach accordingly.

Offices

Glare control is the priority. Aluminium venetian blinds with perforated slats reduce screen glare without blocking natural light. For open-plan offices with floor-to-ceiling glass, motorised roller blinds can be controlled centrally or by zone. We work around your office hours to minimise disruption.

Schools and Nurseries

Fire-retardant fabrics are mandatory. Child-safe mechanisms with no exposed cords or chains are essential. Blackout blinds for assembly halls and AV rooms. We supply and install blinds that meet all current UK education building standards. Typically fitted during school holidays to avoid disruption.

Shops and Retail

Shopfront blinds protect stock from sun damage and provide security when closed. We fit roller blinds in heavy-duty fabrics that can withstand daily raising and lowering. For display windows, translucent fabrics reduce UV exposure while keeping the shop visible from outside.

Restaurants and Hospitality

Atmosphere matters. Roman blinds and curtains create warmth in dining areas, while roller blinds handle the practical side in kitchens and service areas. Fire-retardant fabrics are required. We can match blinds to your interior design scheme with fabrics from our full Louvolite range.

Care Homes and Healthcare

Fire-retardant and antimicrobial fabrics are standard requirements. Easy-to-clean surfaces, no exposed cords (infection control and safety), and blackout options for bedrooms. We work closely with care home managers to schedule installations that do not disrupt residents.

Landlords and HMOs

Rental properties need durable, cost-effective blinds that meet fire safety standards for multi-occupancy buildings. We supply and fit fire-retardant roller blinds across multiple units efficiently. Perfect fit blinds are also popular for rentals as they cause no damage to window frames.

Commercial Blind Options

Every commercial blind we supply is made to measure and available in fire-retardant fabric. Here are the most common types we fit for Edinburgh businesses.

Commercial Roller Blinds

The most common choice for offices and commercial properties. Available in blackout, translucent, and screen fabrics. Heavy-duty mechanisms rated for frequent daily use. Cassette-mounted systems keep the fabric protected when raised. Fire-retardant as standard.

Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Slim 25mm slats that adjust to any angle for precise glare control. The best option for offices with computer screens. Perforated slats are available for maximum glare reduction. Fire-retardant, easy to clean, and available in a wide range of colours and metallic finishes.

Motorised Blinds

Ideal for hard-to-reach windows, large glass facades, and buildings where manual operation is impractical. Controlled by remote, wall switch, timer, or integrated into a building management system. Available as roller or venetian. We supply, install, and can maintain motorised systems.

Blackout Blinds

Essential for conference rooms, presentation spaces, AV rooms, and healthcare settings. Complete light blocking with side channels available for zero light leakage. We fit blackout roller blinds with cassette systems that seal the edges for the best possible darkness.

Vertical Blinds

A traditional office choice with vertical fabric louvres that rotate for light control and draw to one side. Available in a wide range of commercial-grade fabrics. Fire-retardant as standard. A cost-effective option for large numbers of standard windows.

Screen Fabrics

Semi-transparent fabrics that reduce glare and UV exposure while maintaining a view out. Available in different openness factors from 1% (almost opaque) to 10% (clearly visible through). The best compromise between glare control and maintaining connection with the outside environment.

Commercial Pricing

Commercial projects are quoted individually because every building and requirement is different. A small office with 10 windows is a very different job from a school with 200. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after a free site survey so you know exactly what you are paying for.

The main factors are the number of windows, the blind type and fabric specification, whether motorisation is needed, and the scheduling requirements (out-of-hours installation costs slightly more). Volume discounts are available for larger projects.

Because we manufacture in-house, we can offer competitive pricing without the markup that comes from outsourcing. We also handle the full project ourselves with no subcontractors, which means one point of contact, one invoice, and no coordination headaches.

  • Free site survey and consultation
  • Fire safety compliance advice
  • In-house manufacturing
  • Professional installation (out-of-hours available)
