DAYLIGHTING AND BALI BLINDS
FROM SWFcontract
DAYLIGHTING AT A GLANCE
Consider the many benefits of daylighting when planning your next project.
Bali Aluminum Horizontal Blinds with inverted slats—both 1" and 2"—are an
excellent daylighting solution, as they allow a greater percentage of sunlight
even deeper into the space, while minimizing direct exposure and glare. Plus,
you can still view outside.
OVERALL BENEFITS OF INVERTED SLATS
• Lower energy bills and increase employee productivity in commercial spaces
• Tilt control allows for spaces further from the window to receive more
natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial light during the day
• Aluminum horizontal blinds are an affordable window treatment option,
which contributes to overall savings
POSITIVE EFFECTS OF DAYLIGHTING BY INDUSTRY**
• Reduction in employee absences across industries
• Increased light control in retail spaces improves overall sales
