Green Office Week :: Green eco blinds at tuiss

It’s Green Office Week this week and here at tuiss we have some things up our sleeves that will help get your office that bit greener. Here are our top three blinds for a greener office.

1 – Recycled cotton blinds

Made from 100% recycled cotton, these cotton blinds originate from the floor of clothing and textile workshops. Fabric remnants are turned back into their original fibres and then spun once more to make new fabric. Choose from five contemporary colours that will suit an office environment perfectly.

2 – Recycled PET blinds

Here used drinks bottles have been put to much better use than merely filling up landfill sites.  The recycled bottles are processed to make PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) fabric and it takes six bottles to make a metre. The roller blind fabric is easy to wipe clean and is also anti-bacterial, great for keeping the office healthy. Available in office friendly neutral tones.

3 – Energy saving NRG blinds

Another way to be greener is to cut the energy costs associated with heating or cooling your office. Our energy-saving blinds will work really hard to keep your office space warm in the winter and chilled in the summer, reducing your reliability on heating and air-conditioning. We have a huge range of thermally efficient blinds, choose from roller blinds and vertical blinds as well as our very best energy savers, our pleated duoshade and duolight blinds.

tuiss Loves :: Rory Dobner

A graduate of Fine Art, Rory Dobner’s beautiful, wonderful and almost always humorous line drawings are fantastic. We particularly like this monocled cat cushion, but there is something for every animal lover, or indeed lover of the ‘quirky’ in his collection. From pesky pigeons to mischievous monkeys as well as the occasional slippery fish, we hope you’ll love his work too.

tuiss Loves :: Holly’s House

If you’re struggling to find an unusual gift then look no further than these beautiful and unique stamps from Holly’s Houses.

Taken from a photograph, Holly creates a beautiful rubber stamp that can then be used to personalise all sorts of things. The perfect gift for those that already have everything…. and particularly great for stationery nuts. (There’s more of them than you think!)

tuiss review :: Shantung Pastel Blue curtain

‘Jeannie’ kindly took the time to give us a lovely review about her new Shantung Pastel Blue curtains.

Thanks to a little mis-measure incident with a mis-behaving tape measure Jeannie had cause to speak to the lovely Lauren in our customer services team. Rest assured, it’s quite unusual for tape measures to misbehave and the huge majority of our customers never have contact with our customer service team. (Most of the time orders are placed and received with no fuss or fanfare, obviously we do expect a little whoop of joy when blinds or curtains are hung though!)

Just occasionally things do go a little awry, like they did in Jeannie’s case, and then the customer services team are on hand to swoop into action and sort it all out. Here’s what Jeannie had to say …

My new curtains have exceeded my expectations.

After a tricky start (because I measured the curtain size incorrectly), Lauren from Customer Services intervened and thanks to her, my curtains arrived within 7 days. I am thrilled with them, they are a perfect fit and colour match and I will definitely use your company again. I found both your product and customer service excellent and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

by tuiss :: Crushed velvet curtains

To handle the Zola fabric is to swoon! You really do have to feel it to believe it. The crushed velvet is thick, soft and sumptuous while the crushed finish gives a beautiful look that’s full of toning colour.

The bright and funky fuschia colourway seen here is definitely confidently colourful! If you want something more subtle make sure to check out the full crushed velvet collection. And just to whet your appetite you’ll be able to pick and choose from gorgeous colours such as pearl, burnished gold and pewter to name just three.

Dive into a world of fuschia infused gorgeousness! The deep pile velvet with crushed finish blends beautifully from bright pink to deeply decadent fuschia for a look and feel that’s utterly sensational.

This divine curtain is dramatically sumptuous and will sit happily within the most gorgeous of schemes.
