Blinds & Shutters - Issue 4/2023
As we reach the end of summer which has not been the greatest in terms of weather it will be interesting to see which way the wind is blowing in regard to the environment as the next general election approaches. I live close to London and the ULEZ extension has been on top of the agenda for many people. The statistics on London’s air quality are extremely worrying with the WHO saying that air pollution far exceeds limits. Do we ignore the evidence and continue to put lives at risk? I would imagine we would not like a polluting business near our home or place of work and it is impressive that blinds companies are stepping up and taking on board their environmental responsibilities. We are all aware that there is a cost involved, but it seems a small price to pay for a healthy future. John Hatcher editor

Hive to survive<br />
Save your<br />
customers money<br />
on their energy<br />
bills with Hive<br />
Educate your customers on how their window<br />
blinds can be a cost-effective way to save<br />
money on their energy bills. Choosing the<br />
right window product can reduce heat loss from<br />
double glazed windows, a great selling tool for you<br />
to use with your customers given the high energy<br />
costs they are currently experiencing.<br />
The Style Studio range of Hive cellular fabrics<br />
have a unique honeycomb structure which gives<br />
increased insulation. The cellular design holds a layer<br />
of air which acts as an insulator, improving climate<br />
control within the home and helping to reduce<br />
energy bills.<br />
This means that on cooler days, especially in the<br />
winter, it will stop cold air coming in from the<br />
windows and stop heat from escaping.<br />
Hive is also a superior fabric choice for blinds due<br />
to its anti-static, heat blocking, sound absorbent and<br />
firm structure that holds its shape. The honeycomb<br />
cell design also means that any cords running<br />
through the fabric are hidden, giving a luxury finish<br />
focusing on the fabrics in their blind.<br />
Hive is available in Plain, Blackout, Fire Retardant<br />
and Luxury designs. Whether your customers are<br />
looking for a subtle texture, a coloured plain or an<br />
exclusive pattern for their homes, our extensive<br />
Collection has something to suit all tastes.<br />
