The brief

What the site needed.

Worsley College is further education, so the room list runs wider than a school: classrooms, general teaching spaces and vocational training rooms all in the same building. White PVC blackout fabric went through the lot, giving full light control wherever a screen or a demonstration needs it.

PVC was the right call for a college. It wipes down, it takes daily use, and it still looks sharp at the end of the year, which matters more here than in a room that sees one class a week.

The training rooms took the extra planning. Health and social care and childcare courses keep specialist equipment permanently set up, so the blinds were fitted around what was already there. Multi-window walls were set to the same drop, so every room matches from one side to the other. The install was carried out by BBS’s own fully employed installation team, all Enhanced DBS.

What we did

A specification shaped around the setting.

  1. 01

    Fabric

    White PVC blackout fabric for full light control in classrooms and vocational training spaces.

  2. 02

    Wipe clean

    PVC was chosen because it wipes down and stands up to a busy college.

  3. 03

    Training equipment

    Blinds fitted cleanly around the specialist kit used for health and social care and childcare training.

  4. 04

    Window runs

    Multi-window classroom walls finished uniformly so each room matches right along the wall.

Working on site

Planned around the building, not just the windows.

  1. 01

    Plan for the room mix

    A college has a wider mix of room types than a school, so the running order was worked out before the install started.

  2. 02

    Set out around the kit

    Training equipment stayed where it was and the blinds were set out around it.

  3. 03

    Keep one standard

    Every window run was fitted to the same drop in the same fabric across the site.

The result

What changed for the space.

Classrooms and vocational training rooms across the college now black out fully for teaching, in a fabric that can be wiped down rather than one that marks the first time a class goes through it.

  • Full blackout for classrooms and vocational training spaces
  • Wipeable PVC fabric suited to daily college use
  • Consistent finish across a wide mix of room types
