Evaluating Daylight in a Project
Daylight assessment is more than measuring brightness. It considers glare, outward view, screen use and privacy over the day, with façade orientation and occupancy informing when each window-treatment layer is required.Why it matters at project stage
The objective is to manage daylight for the room’s function rather than exclude it entirely. Work and relaxation areas on the same elevation may need different degrees of control.
Information required
Review façade orientation, hours of use, glare points, outward-view objectives, night-time privacy, glazing information and the intended role of each textile or blind layer.
Reaching a project decision
A sheer curtain or screen blind can filter light, while a closing curtain or documented blackout product can provide a more complete closing layer. Define each layer’s function and operating sequence.
Coordination through delivery
Coordinate lighting and façade decisions with the window treatments. Where measured performance is required, review fabric data, glazing and installation conditions with the relevant specialists.
Project checklist
Points to resolve in the project
- Is façade orientation known?
- Have glare points been identified?
- Is outward view an objective?
- Is night-time privacy resolved?
- Is each layer’s role clear?
