CO2 emissions by using metal backed fabrics. To

ROLLER BLINDS

Roller Blinds are the most popular window treatment due to their simplicity and clean lines.

A key component of roller blinds is their

environmental adaptability. Whatever the

application, from total privacy to the ability

to appreciate your view, from traditional to

contemporary design, roller blinds complement

window coverings in every situation. Roller blinds

combine subtle elegance, technical innovation

and design flexibility, perfectly complementing

architectural vision.

Different operating systems offer spring assisted

mechanisms to handle larger blinds and provide

longevity of product.

Available with metallised backed fabrics,

sunscreen fabrics, blockout fabrics and

transluscent fabrics.

MOTORISATION

Motorisation is becoming an increasingly popular mode of operation, particularly for boardrooms, training rooms and reception areas.

With the new Green Star Office requirements, this

is also extending to the general office areas.

KWA Blinds use only premium motors and

controllers which are at the cutting edge of

international technology for motorisation and

automated opening systems. At the touch of

a button or by a hand held remote control you

can adjust any or all of your window coverings.

Motors can be timer controlled, sun and/or wind

controlled and operated through local controllers

or building management systems.

We can motorise roller blinds, venetian blinds,

pleated blinds, roman blinds and curtains.

ABIGROUP BRISBANE

Project: Abigroup Brisbane Headquarters Location: Stanley Street Plaza, Southbank, Brisbane Builder: Abigroup

In order to maintain outside vision to the views of the

Parkland settings and the Brisbane city skyline, Verosol

Silverscreen Fabric in Colour Dark Grey was chosen for

the 3 storey Brisbane Headquarters of Abigroup. The

Silverscreen fabric was also selected due to its ability to

substantially reduce heat and glare, increasing occupant

comfort and reducing air conditioning costs.

The blinds selected were multi-linked Ambience Roller blinds

- multiple blinds with one chain control mechanism allow for

ease of use.

123 ALBERT STREET

Project: 123 Albert Street Location: Albert Street, Brisbane Architect: Hassell Architects Builder: Laing O’Rourke

NABERS Energy Rating.

To help achieve the 6 Star Green Star rating, KWA Blinds

blinds with Enviroscreen 802 fabric. Enviroscreen is a

metallised fabric that is formaldehyde and PVC free. This

100% Trevira CS fabric provides vision out whilst maintaining

the comfort of the occupants by substantially reducing

the amount of heat and glare entering the building. The

blinds are controlled through a Somfy Animeo Façade

Management system.

Shower Tracks were supplied and installed throughout

the facility.
