BetweenGlassBlinds Are The Smart Choice For Healthcare

BetweenGlassBlinds are an innovative and versatile window treatment that provide a host of benefits for health care facilities.  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 a healthcare setting is the smart choice:

Improved Energy Efficiency

Hospitals, Surgeries and Care Homes 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.

Enhanced Safety

Safety is always a top priority in any 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 in secure facilities or scenarios where ligature is a concern. 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 environment. Traditional blinds can accumulate dust and dirt.  BetweenGlassBlinds, 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 more protected environment for patients and staff.

Reduced Noise Pollution

Noise pollution can be a significant issue in healthcare, particularly in high traffic areas. BGB units can help to reduce noise pollution by providing an additional layer of sound insulation. This can create a more peaceful environment, allowing patients and staff a higher level of comfort.

Enhanced Privacy

BGBs provide a high level of privacy, an essential consideration in many settings. Alongside external windows, they can be used for internal partition screens, observation stations, patient bay doors, staff office windows, and more.  They are perfect for any area within a healthcare setting 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 healthcare sector.  We are proud that more and more hospitals, care homes and secure facilities are turning to us as their first choice for window treatments.”
