Look-Out blinds are multi-purpose, practical, healthy and beautiful, designed to enhance personal comfort and well-being in the home and at work. The exclusive film has a thin layer of aluminum sheeting which reflects solar heat and UV light. It blocks 99.5% of UV rays and rejects between 64% & 98% of solar heat depending on the film thickness. The greatest advantage of these solar blinds is the one-way transparency, which allows you to see though to the outside. At the same time the solar reflective alluminium exterior coating maintains your privacy from passers-by during the daytime.

in homes, offices, shops, classrooms, care homes, surgeries, waiting rooms, conservatories, and rooms needing solar protection and/or privacy, with a clear view from inside to outside, or with full solar protection as a blackout blind.

Look-Out blinds are made from embossed film that is pleated to ensure stability when hanging, combining perfect functionality with stylish appearance. One side is silver and faces the outside and there are several different shades which face the inside, all giving various degrees of solar protection according to your needs.

The special construction of the film allows sunlight to enter the room while maintaining the view from inside to outside, according to the type of film used. Look-Out blinds open up the workroom or living area to the outside world and give a sense of space.

The discomfort of excessive solar heat and UV light is greatly reduced, giving a more balanced, natural room temperature. Rooms with large areas of glazing can become unbearably hot in the summer and these blinds will totally transform these rooms into comfortable working & living areas once again. At the same time, the possibility of seeing through the film to the outside world helps mental well-being.

In addition, the special film blocks almost 100% of the harmful UV radiation that causes glare across computer and TV screens, so making them ideal for daytime use at home when outside visual contact is preferred, to enjoy the garden view etc. Look-Out blinds give glare protection from all display screens all year round. Not only during the summer months but on most other days the glare from ordinary daylight through windows onto display screens and desk surfaces can disturb vision, cause eyestrain, headaches and fatigue. The low position of the winter sun can cause particular glare problems into rooms and across screens and surfaces.

These rules require windows to be covered by adjustable blinds that block disturbing glare and reflections from display screens, which are a major cause of eyestrain and associated headaches from computers. Look-Out blinds allow sunlight to fall uniformly onto all interior surfaces, a beneficial factor all year round. The distinct advantage of Look-Out blinds is that they also allow staff to see the outside world even with the blinds closed, therefore feel better and perform more efficiently.

EU Health and Safety rules require blinds to be adjustable so they can be opened on duller days to allow natural levels of sunlight to enter the work premises, which is an option not available when panes are covered with tinted permanent adhesive film. Look-Out blinds allow a comfortable indoor temperature to be controlled by adjustable variation.

Thicker films reject more solar heat, keeping the room cooler, so there is less need for air conditioning, eg. silver/grey, silver/bronze & grey/grey; a large amount of daylight still comes into the room.

Thinner films allow a greater degree of sunlight into the room, so there is less need for artificial lighting, eg. silver/silver, silver/blue and silver/green. There is still a high degree of solar heat protection. Our Look-Out blinds reduce energy consumption and electricity bills.

Besides being transparent from inside to outside the special film is opaque from outside to inside, so that the blinds give privacy from the outside. The mirror-effect of the exterior surface prevents anyone from seeing to inside through the window blind during the daytime. After dark indoor lighting reduces the degree of privacy.

An additional advantage of using these blinds is that the opaque exterior prevents others from knowing if the house is occupied or not.

For nurseries and other rooms where total daytime blackout is needed an opaque film in white/silver or black/silver offers an effective and stylish solution for up to 98% solar protection.

Solar protection film absorbs aggressive UV light that causes fading in furniture and carpets and that can also change the consistency of materials and display items.

Their anti-scratch surface makes the blind films easy to clean and maintain, just an occasional mild detergent solution if any dirt or staining occurs. Dust-free, they are ideal for asthma sufferers.
