Design Challenge
The blinds required were for the meeting rooms and the main conference centre. The blinds needed to provide total blackout to ensure that there were no distractions during presentations and meetings. They also had to be able to keep the rooms at an ambient temperature.
Solution
We provided our KuroLok fully cassetted blackout blinds for this project. They were powder coated to RAL 7016 to match existing hardware in the rooms. We provided our Spectrum 1050 fabric which is a lovely screen faced blackout fabric, in a grey/white blend to compliment the hardware. The blinds are operated via Somfy RTS motors.
