Streamline Commercial Spaces With Aluminum Blinds
As local business owners, our North County Blinds team understands the nuances and challenges of running a small business. We’ve been in business since 1985, serving the greater Encinitas, California area, and we know what other small businesses need in our area of expertise. Window treatments can be tricky for any space, especially for rooms with entrepreneurial potential like a commercial, retail, or even rental spaces. When making a business decision for any area like this, it's essential to make a choice that covers all your bases: practicality, durability, functionality, and affordability. We’re proud to say that our Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® and Aluminum Blinds check all these boxes and more!
Perfect for High-Traffic Environments
We’re passionate about recommending our Modern Precious Metals® and Aluminum Blinds to our local business owners because they are a powerhouse of durability. Not many window treatments match our Aluminum Metal Blinds in terms of being able to withstand daily wear and tear.
These blinds withstand and hold their shape when put up against the rough treatment they might receive in several different commercial spaces: restaurants, coffee shops, offices, and even rental homes. This is the perfect window treatment to choose if you’re searching for something that you know will be capable of handling anything and that will also be easy to clean at the end of the day.
One of the best parts of Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds is their versatility in many different spaces. Because they are resistant to moisture, these blinds make the perfect addition to windows in kitchen spaces, bathrooms, and any space where there’s variability in humidity and water.
The Sleek Look of Metal Is Perfect for Industrial Spaces
In terms of interior design, the Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are a fantastic choice to make for any design style you may want to implement for your space. These blinds come in a wide variety of shades and sizes. You’re guaranteed to find one or several options that will flow seamlessly with the rest of your space.
You can even play with texture and pattern with these blinds; many finishes can be customized with these blinds to give a more metallic or pearlescent effect. You can even add decorative tapes in various shades and patterns to add a unique accent that sets your space apart from the rest!
We love the ambiance that aluminum blinds give as well. The industrial interior design never goes out of style, and we’ve seen it more and more on the rise in recent years for commercial spaces. Trendy lofts and converted warehouses have become more common, and these areas often have design features like exposed piping and brick. The look of metal blinds is a fantastic option for these types of spaces to accentuate your space's industrial nature.
If your business boasts gorgeous views that you want to accentuate with your windows, aluminum blinds are great for that, too! Ask us about the MagnaView® feature, which offers twice the view-through of ordinary aluminum blinds.
Contact Us
