About Enviroblinds
Specialists of external shading since 2012, we are a multi-disciplinary team offering technical advice and specification through to installation and maintenance.
We offer the choice of product and technical advice to optimise your solar 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 to finalise each product specification and optimise the delivery of each 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, yet remains an uncommon feature in our buildings. To help our clients understand the energy saving and cost benefits, we offer dynamic thermal modelling and life cycle costings.
Why Enviroblinds external shading?
Help reduce the 49% of annual carbon emissions attributed to buildings in the UK
Enviroblinds architectural solar shading for retrofit and new buildings, passively reduces overheating and saves energy by reducing the need for air conditioning. Our high quality systems are manufactured from durable, predominantly sustainable materials, such as aluminium which is infinitely recyclable, and are designed for both aesthetics and longevity. Readily accessible replacement components extends the product life time and most systems can be operated without electricity and some with solar power.
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 screens and shutters are energy saving and ideal for Passivhaus type construction because they can be lowered to prevent overheating from excessive solar gain or raised when solar heat is required.
Motorised solar shading systems using a wireless switch or remote control can be connected to wind and sun sensors that automatically raise or lower the blinds according to the weather.
Enviroblinds offer dynamic thermal modelling and life cycle costing to calculate the real energy saving benefits of specifying external shading systems. Our team of technical advisors are always at hand to advise you on the most effective shading system for your project and budget, through to installation and after sales care.
