About Enviroblinds
Specialists of external shading since 2012, we are a multi-disciplinary team offering technical advice and consultancy through to installation and maintenance.
We offer technical advice and choice of product to optimise your shading project
Inspired by the widespread use of external shading in architecture across Europe, Enviroblinds was founded based on research from a KTP between AMA Building Services Engineers and the University of Brighton, to understand the thermal performance of external blinds in the UK.
As pioneers of external shading in the UK, our mission is to deliver dynamic, sympathetic and sustainable solar shading that provides thermal and visual comfort. Our external shading products, improve energy efficiency by regulating solar gain to passively cool or heat buildings.
We offer detailed technical advice and consultancy to optimise the performance and delivery of each shading project. Our collaborative method of working with our clients is consistently underpinned by honesty and integrity to achieve the best outcomes. Whilst our products reduce energy consumption, we are conscious and committed to reducing our carbon footprint as a business.
External shading is part of the solution to decarbonise buildings and meet our net zero targets and yet remains an uncommon feature in our buildings. To support clients and architects in their decision making process, we offer Overheating, Shading and Part O Assessments.
Enviroblinds provides a comprehensive assessment that includes:
- Part O Overheating Assessment – evaluating compliance with current Building Regulations using IES dynamic thermal modelling
- Temperature Reduction Estimates – calculating how much internal temperatures can be lowered with external blinds, shutters or louvres
- Shading Option Analysis – comparing different systems to identify the most effective passive cooling strategy
- Detailed Recommendations – for improved solar control, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency
We are also pleased to support architects and professionals with CPD training.
Please get in touch and we’ll be happy to help with further information.
Why Enviroblinds external shading?
Help save energy and reduce the 49% of annual carbon emissions attributed to buildings in the UK
Enviroblinds external shading passively reduces overheating and saves energy by reducing the need for mechanical cooling. Air conditioning is not only bad for the environment but is expensive to install, to run and to maintain. Our high quality systems are manufactured from durable and predominantly sustainable materials, such as aluminium which is infinitely recyclable. Our shading systems are designed with low maintenance requirements and readily accessible replacement components to extend their product life. Most systems can be manually operated or solar powered without the need of an electricity supply.
External roller blinds prevent around 90% of solar heat from penetrating the window, which makes them much more effective than internal blinds.
Enviroblinds external roller blinds are much more efficient than internal blinds, preventing around 90% of solar heat, compared to just 50% using internal blinds.
Our roller shutters, external roller screens and venetians passively reduce overheating are energy efficient and ideal for Passivhaus type construction. This is because they are dynamic and can be lowered to reduce solar gain or raised when solar heat is required.
Sun sensors which work with motorised shading systems can be programmed to automatically lower the blinds on sunny days. Wind sensors will retract the blinds to protect the system in the event of high winds.
We offer multiple shading options to fit your building and budget. Please get in touch for a free consultation.
