Our Product range includes:
- Cubicle Track Systems - This cubicle track system consists of an aluminium track which has two extruded channels within the design. The top channel maximises connection positions and suspension variations. A dust cover strip reduces the risk of cross infection.
The lower channel allows for the gliders to run smoothly.
- Curtain Tracks - All Dearnleys tracks are made of extruded aluminium with a range of gliders options for hanging the curtains and a number of fixing options to allow for face fix and top fix.
- External Awning Systems - This external solar shading system consists of a range of options to cope with most glazing types. All metal components are made from aluminium or stainless steel and the fabrics used are highly durable, fade, stretch and weather resistant.
- External Venetian Blind Systems - Slats are made using a high quality stove-enamelled finish and are better at reducing unwanted heat gain than that of an internal system. Again these solar shading options are designed to cope with most glazing and curtain walling types and are powered by a 240v motor housed within the headrail.
- Internal and External Louvre Blind Systems - This solar shading system consists of rack arms onto which either aluminium or timber slats are securely held. The slats can then be adjusted to attenuate the light entering the space.
- KLINIK Vertical Blinds - Dearnleys KLINIK range is designed for the primary health care industry. With its antimicrobial coating the KLINIK range can help reduce the risk and spread of AMR infections such as MRSA.
- Roller Blind Systems - Our internal roller blind systems offer a range of fabrics securley fastened onto an aluminium barrel and have a range of operating systems as well as a vast range of bottom bars to give that unique designer look.
- Room Darkening Blind Systems - Darkening Blind Systems also known as DIM OUT BLINDS are designed for use in commercial environments where ease of operation, low maintenance and durability are required.
- Tensioned Roller Blind Systems - These tensioned systems are generally used where there are large vertical or horizontal areas. With motors at either end to keep the tension of the blind taut and remove the the problem of unsightly drooping. These systems come with a vast range of different operating methods, material and hardware colours to suit your needs.
- Venetian Blind Systems - This solar shading system consists of a steel head and bottom rail together with aluminium or wooden slats. The slats can be tilted to accurately attenuate the amount of light entering the space.

Dearnleys Ltd - Diffusing Low Level Sun
Diffusing Low Level Sun
The Astralux 3000 roller blind system is the perfect solution for diffusing the low level Autumn sun in commercial buildings.

Autumn brings a picturesque landscape and cooler temperatures, but it also introduces a specific challenge for commercial buildings: dealing with the low-level sun that can cause discomfort and glare. As businesses strive to create a welcoming and productive environment, finding the right solution to tame the autumn sun becomes crucial. Let’s look at why roller blinds emerge as the perfect solution to diffuse the low-level autumn sun, ensuring comfort, productivity, and an inviting atmosphere in commercial buildings.
Reducing Glare and Enhancing Visibility:
When the sun sits lower in the sky during autumn, it can cast intense glare and create uncomfortable working conditions for employees. Roller blinds act as a barrier, allowing you to adjust the level of natural light entering the space. By diffusing the sunlight, roller blinds help reduce glare while preserving a comfortable level of brightness, thereby enhancing visibility and minimising eye strain for optimal productivity.
Protecting Internal Furnishings:
The ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight pose a threat to furniture, flooring, and other furnishing in in any building. Over time, these rays can cause irreversible damage like fading and discoloration. Roller blinds made from performance fabrics (such as Astralux Vertex Range) are not only effective at diffusing sunlight but also act as a shield against harmful UV rays. By installing roller blinds, you can protect your investments and ensure the longevity of your furniture and assets.
Maintaining Temperature and Energy Efficiency:

As autumn transitions to winter, the temperature drops, and commercial buildings rely on heating systems to provide comfort. However, the low-level autumn sun can cause overheating, leading to an unnecessary strain on air conditioning systems. Roller blinds offer a simple and effective solution by blocking excess heat while still allowing natural light to filter through. This balance helps maintain a comfortable temperature and reduces energy consumption, resulting in cost savings and improved energy efficiency.
Conclusion:
Opting to have roller blinds in commercial buildings is a wise choice, especially when it comes to managing the low-level autumn sun. From reducing glare and safeguarding assets to improving energy efficiency and enhancing the overall aesthetics, roller blinds provide a multifaceted solution. As we step into the autumn season, let roller blinds become an integral part of your commercial space, ensuring a comfortable and inviting environment that fosters productivity and well-being.
