Pale screen fabric roller blind in a recessed office window at Faith House, Radcliffe, above a desk with a printer

The brief

What the site needed.

The Faith in Nature offices at Faith House on James Street North in Radcliffe needed the glare taken off the windows without losing the daylight the rooms work in. Screen fabric roller blinds were specified for that: they cut the brightness on desks and screens, and they still let the ambient light and the view through.

The same pale screen sits in the window recesses across the rooms shown. One sill still holds the Faith in Nature box and the silver dispensers. Another has a desk and printer under the same fabric. A close shot of the weave is why this is screen rather than a blackout. You can see the trees and the sky, without the glare.

Fitted by BBS’s own fully employed installation team.

What we did

A specification shaped around the setting.

  1. 01

    Screen fabric

    Specified to kill glare on the office windows while the room stays bright and the view stays. A blackout would have shut out the light the offices wanted to keep.

  2. 02

    Recess fit

    Rollers in the window reveals, so the fabric sits close to the glass and the sill stays usable.

  3. 03

    One spec

    The same pale screen through the rooms shown, rather than a different product in each office.

Working on site

Planned around the building, not just the windows.

  1. 01

    Specify screen, not blackout

    The brief was glare and ambient light together. Screen fabric does both, which is why it was the product rather than a dim-out or a blackout.

  2. 02

    Fit around a working office

    Desks, a printer and the branded products on the sill were already in. The rollers went into the window recesses around them.

The result

What changed for the space.

The offices at Faith House keep their daylight and the view, with screen fabric rollers taking the glare off the windows.

  • Glare cut on the office windows without shutting out the daylight
  • Ambient light and the view kept through the screen
  • One screen fabric roller spec through the rooms shown
