Made-to-measure blackout blind solutions for commercial spaces where privacy, room darkening and controlled light exclusion are important, from standard blackout rollers to fully cassetted blockout systems.
Blackout roller blinds or fully cassetted blockout systems
Headbox, side channels and optional base channel
Commercial blackout fabrics in a wide range of finishes
Manual and motorised options available
A lifecycle to last
Workspace vertical blinds provide a practical and versatile solution for commercial windows, offering precise control over daylight, glare and privacy.
The adjustable louvres can be rotated to manage incoming light without completely closing off the window, while the blind can be drawn fully open when an unobstructed view is required.
Manufactured using robust components and contract-grade fabrics, each system can be configured around the size, appearance and performance requirements of the project.
Choosing the right blind system depends on how much control you need over daylight, privacy and light exclusion. From simple room darkening through to more complete blockout solutions, different configurations can be specified to suit the needs of the space, its users and the level of performance required.
Blackout roller blind
Blackout roller or cassetted blockout system depending on the required level of light exclusion
Cassetted blockout system where stronger control of edge light is required
Dual-blind configuration using screen and blackout fabrics
Motorised blackout or blockout system
Consistent blackout system, fabric and control specification across the project
A roller blind using an opaque blackout fabric. This provides strong room darkening and privacy, but some light can remain around the edges of the blind depending on the installation.
A more enclosed system using a headbox and side channels, with an optional base channel. This is designed to reduce light leakage around the fabric and is the stronger option where light exclusion is a key performance requirement.
Where a room needs useful daylight during the day and blackout at other times, a screen roller and blackout roller can be combined at the same window using a double-blind configuration.
Workspace Blinds offers commercial blackout fabrics suitable for accommodation, hospitality and other environments where stronger room darkening is needed. The current specification library includes blackout ranges such as Arcadia, Zero and Vetolight; only ranges confirmed as current should be surfaced on the final page.
Use fabric cards or a dynamic feed from the Fabrics archive. For each fabric, show only verified specification data from the corresponding technical sheet, such as fire performance, width, colour range, moisture or mildew resistance and care information.
The existing Workspace fabric information identifies Arcadia and Zero as wide-width, fire-retardant blackout fabrics with anti-mildew treatment, making this a useful performance story where those ranges remain current.
A blackout roller blind uses an opaque fabric to provide strong room darkening, but some light may remain around the edges. A cassetted blockout system adds a headbox and side channels to reduce this edge light and provide a higher level of light exclusion.
A standard blackout roller significantly darkens a room, but small amounts of light can pass around the sides or bottom depending on the installation. Where tighter light exclusion is required, a cassette and side-channel blockout system is the more suitable specification.
Blackout blinds are commonly specified for hotel and student bedrooms, Build-to-Rent accommodation, meeting and presentation rooms, healthcare environments and other commercial spaces where privacy or room darkening is important.
Yes. Motorised options are available and can be particularly useful for larger blinds, high-level glazing, frequent operation or projects where simple coordinated control is required.
Yes. A dual-blind arrangement can combine a screen blind for daytime glare control with a blackout blind for stronger pr`ivacy and room darkening when required.
Yes. Workspace Blinds offers commercial blackout fabric ranges with fire-retardant options. The exact fabric should be selected against the current technical data and the requirements of the project.
Yes. Blackout blinds are made to measure around the final window dimensions, selected system, fabric and operating method. Cassette and side-channel systems also need to be coordinated carefully with the opening and fixing conditions.
Yes. Workspace Blinds supports commercial projects across the UK, providing survey, specification, manufacture, supply and coordinated installation according to the requirements of the project.
Whether blackout blinds are required for a handful of specialist rooms or hundreds of bedrooms across a development, Workspace Blinds can support the project from performance requirements and system selection through to coordinated installation.
Understanding window sizes, room use, access, fixing conditions and the level of light control required.
Selecting the appropriate blackout roller or cassette blockout system, fabric, finish and operating method.
Providing fabric samples and technical information to support contractor, designer and client approval.
Planning manufacture and delivery around site phases, room handovers, access requirements and programme dates.
Coordinated installation with attention to blind alignment, operation, channel interfaces where used, finish and programme delivery.
