The brief

What the site needed.

BBS was asked to provide practical window shading for offices in the Manchester Town Hall extension. The brief called for a consistent finish, straightforward controls and a useful balance of privacy and daylight.

BBS supplied the confirmed vertical blind specification with simple controls suited to everyday use across the offices.

What we did

A specification shaped around the setting.

  1. 01

    Window treatment

    White vertical blind systems sized for the office windows.

  2. 02

    Controls

    Chrome nickel chain and fabric cord controls.

  3. 03

    Purpose

    Adjustable privacy and daylight control for working areas.

Working on site

Planned around the building, not just the windows.

  1. 01

    Measure

    Window dimensions and control positions were checked before manufacture.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Two metre headrail sections and matching white louvres were prepared for the offices.

  3. 03

    Fit

    The systems were installed and set for smooth, practical daily use.

The result

What changed for the space.

The completed offices gained consistent, easy-to-adjust screening that supports privacy without shutting out useful daylight.

  • Consistent appearance across the offices
  • Flexible privacy for staff and visitors
  • Simple daily light control
