Blinds for Safer, More Comfortable Classrooms
Overheating classrooms, glare on interactive whiteboards, privacy concerns and blinds that don't stand up to everyday use. These are challenges we regularly help schools across Leicester and Leicestershire solve.
At Barlow Blinds, we manufacture our own roller and vertical blinds in Leicester and employ our own experienced installation team. We understand that school blinds need to be durable, easy to operate, child-safe and suitable for busy learning environments.
Whether you need replacement classroom blinds or a complete school installation, we'll help you find a practical, cost-effective solution.

School Blinds for Heat, Glare and Privacy
Different classrooms have different requirements. We'll assess your windows, how each room is used and the challenges you're experiencing before recommending the right blinds.
Reduce Overheating in Classrooms
South-facing classrooms and large windows can make temperature control difficult, particularly during warmer months.
Solar-control roller blinds, reflective fabrics and cellular blinds can help reduce solar heat gain while maintaining useful natural daylight. We'll recommend the most suitable option for your classroom and budget.
Reduce Glare on Interactive Whiteboards
Sunlight reflecting off interactive whiteboards and computer screens can make teaching difficult.
Light-filtering roller blinds and specialist screen fabrics can reduce glare without unnecessarily darkening the classroom. Where greater light control is needed, blackout blinds may be more suitable.
Improve Classroom Privacy and Security
School blinds can help control visibility into classrooms, offices and other areas where privacy is important.
We can recommend practical, easy-to-operate blinds that support your school's privacy and safeguarding arrangements, while considering the needs of staff and pupils.
Hard-Wearing Blinds for Busy Schools
Let's face it, school blinds don't always have an easy life!
They're opened and closed repeatedly throughout the day and need to withstand the demands of a busy school environment.
As an accredited Louvolite partner, we use quality components that have undergone extensive lifecycle testing, including testing designed to simulate ten years of use.
Combined with our own Leicester manufacturing facilities (Link: about), we supply durable roller and vertical blinds designed for demanding school environments.

Where practical, repairs can help schools manage maintenance budgets and reduce unnecessary waste.
