Transforming Workspaces with Premium Office Blinds in Dubai – A Hawashim Case Study
In Dubai’s fast moving corporate world, employees are physical captives who influence client perceptions of corporations through workspace design. This Case Study describes how a modern office was reinvented with high quality, functional blinds that met the unique requirements of the region by Hawashim Curtain.
Client Overview
The client was a mid-sized corporate company based in a commercial area in Dubai – with an office space of around 4,000 sq. ft. layout: The design included open-plan workstations, glass-partitioned cabins and an ample bank of floor-to-ceiling windows — perfect for viewing, but fraught with a number of practical.
The client wanted a contemporary window covering option that would complement their modern office design and offer greater comfort and functionality.
Understanding the Requirement
The primary requirement was to install office blinds that would:
- Reduce excessive sunlight and heat
- Improve employee comfort and productivity
- Provide privacy for meeting rooms and executive cabins
- Enhance the overall aesthetic of the workspace
In a city like Dubai where the sun is bright year-round, window treatments are more than ornamental—they’ re necessary.
Challenges Before Installation
Before partnering with Hawashim, the office faced several issues:
Excess Heat Gain
Large glass panels allowed heat to penetrate, increasing indoor temperatures and air conditioning costs.
Glare on Screens
Employees experienced discomfort due to direct sunlight affecting computer visibility.
Lack of Privacy
Transparent glass partitions offered little to no privacy during meetings.
Outdated Window Coverings
Existing curtains were bulky, outdated, and inconsistent with the office’s modern design.
Irregular Window Sizes:
Certain sections had non-standard window dimensions, making off-the-shelf solutions ineffective.
Impact of Dubai’s Climate on Office Interiors
Dubai’s climate characterized by high temperatures and strong sunlight directly affects interior environments. Without proper shading solutions, offices can become uncomfortable, energy-inefficient, and visually harsh. This makes high-quality blinds a necessity rather than a luxury.
Hawashim’s Tailored Solution
Hawashim approached the project with a customized strategy:
- Recommended premium roller blinds with UV-resistant fabric to minimize heat and glare.
- Installed blackout blinds in meeting rooms for enhanced privacy and presentation clarity.
- Used light-filtering blinds in workstations to maintain natural light without discomfort.
- Customized blinds to fit irregular window sizes perfectly.
- Offered a color palette that complemented the office’s modern interior theme.

The team performed a full site survey and measured every window. They have also considered natural light intake and heat for recommending the best blind options.
Consultation
After the evaluation, professionals offered several fabric and style solutions to the customer. Final choices were made based on the client’s needs and vision for the office.
Customization
