The Smart Choice For Education

BetweenGlassBlinds are an innovative and versatile window treatment that provides a host of benefits for schools and universities.  BGB units are integral blinds, hermetically sealed between two panes of glass, offering a sleek, modern look with numerous applications.

Here are some reasons why using BGBs in an education setting is the smart choice:

Improved Energy Efficiency

Schools and universities are always looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and lower costs. BGB units can contribute to achieving this by providing a layer of insulation between the glass panes, which can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for heating and cooling. This can lead to lower energy bills and carbon emissions, making BGB an eco-friendly choice for schools and universities.

Enhanced Safety

Safety is always a top priority in any education setting. BGBs are a safer option than traditional blinds because they are built into the window and do not have any cords or strings that can pose a risk. This is particularly important where young children are present. In addition, BGB units are maintenance-free, reducing costs, as well as providing protection from moisture, odours and damage.

Improved Air Quality

Indoor air quality is a critical factor in creating a healthy and productive learning environment. Traditional blinds can accumulate dust and dirt.  BGBs, on the other hand, are sealed between two panes of glass, which prevents the build-up of dust and other allergens. This can help reduce allergy and asthma symptoms and create a healthier learning environment for students and staff.

Reduced Noise Pollution

Noise pollution can be a significant issue in schools and universities, particularly in areas such as classrooms and study spaces. BGB units can help to reduce noise pollution by providing an additional layer of sound insulation. This can create a more peaceful and productive learning environment, allowing students and staff to focus on their work.

Enhanced Privacy

BGBs provide a high level of privacy, an essential consideration in many settings. Alongside classroom windows and doors, they can be used for dance and fitness studios, to screen swimming pools or to provide shade and protection to sports halls.

They are the ideal choice for any area within a school environment where privacy is important.

Mark Nash, BetweenGlassBlinds Managing Director, said: “The practicality, safety features, lack of needed maintenance and ease of use make our Integral blinds a great choice for the education sector.  We are proud that more and more schools and universities are turning to us as their first choice for window treatments.”
