BUILD Construction & Engineering Awards 2020 78 ased in the UK, Enviroblinds is the specialist designer and supplier of external solar shading products. Their comprehensive selection includes external roller blinds, fixed and kinetic external shutters, louvres and pergolas, all of which are carbon friendly and designed to reduce overheating and the use of air conditioning, whilst also enhancing the façade of any building. Inspired by European architecture that frequently features external roller blinds, Enviroblinds products prevent the majority of solar heat from entering windows much more effectively than internal blinds. This provides a natural, carbon neutral method of preventing overheating or warming a house, making them an ideal choice for Passivhaus type constructions looking to save energy where possible. Although manufactured with the highest quality of materials and to the highest standard of production, Enviroblinds is a sensible cost-effective choice. Complete with bespoke dynamic thermal modelling and life cycle costing that calculates the real energy saving benefits of their external blind systems, Enviroblinds’ team of technically skilled experts are trained in advising on the most effective shading systems that will not only reduce environmental impact, but reduce the need for funding expensive, energy-guzzling air-conditioning systems. Best Solar Shading Solutions – UK As the significance of adapting the way we live to facilitate a greener and more sustainable future becomes increasingly apparent, Enviroblinds is the UK business providing a solution in their energy saving external roller blinds and solar shading systems. Enviroblinds products transform a building climatically and visually and are one of the most energy efficient means of reducing overheating in buildings from excess solar gain. The result is greater comfort for customers and a low carbon technological solution for the environment. B Aug20490 This advisory process begins at the initial design briefing, in which the team at Enviroblinds is able to engage in an open conversation with their clients, discussing requirements and making product recommendations based on a number of factors, including the architecture of the building and the client’s budget. The priority at this stage is sourcing and supplying products that can most effectively reduce overheating whilst simultaneously enhancing the aesthetics of the building. The Enviroblinds team remains on hand throughout the installation, ready to answer queries and proffer advice wherever necessary, all the way up to the aftersales care. Currently, Enviroblinds is undertaking an exciting yet challenging project on the coast of the UK that consists of the design, manufacture and installation of fixed and folding shutters in wood and stainless steel for a large luxury residence. Requiring bespoke designs and quick solutions due to the challenging nature of the wind loads and marine environment, this project has presented a great opportunity for Enviroblinds to learn and develop as they work towards the completion of this significant project. Residential properties such as this, as well as commercial, are facing increasingly serious issues with overheating, particularly in light of the longer, hotter summers the UK is seeing more and more of each year. Alongside the retrofitting of external shading products on existing buildings looking to modernise, Enviroblinds has also seen an increasing demand for solar shielding being built into new-build, high-end residential projects, enabling energy saving from day one. Whilst customers become increasingly aware of the benefits of using solar shading, Enviroblinds is not slowing up its efforts to continue educating about its positive effects on both environmental wellbeing and the comfort of homeowners. The future is undoubtedly bright for Enviroblinds, as they lead the way in revolutionising how we manage the heating and cooling of our homes in a greener, more sustainable manner.
