Beat the Heat and Glare
Posted on - June 2, 2025How Durable Keeps Your Workplace Cool, Comfortable, and Productive
Sustained sunshine may lift spirits outdoors – but inside the workplace, it’s a different story. Excessive heat and glare through windows can turn offices, schools, and commercial spaces into uncomfortable environments that reduce productivity, increase accident risks, and push up energy bills.
The Hidden Costs of Sunlight Indoors
1. Productivity Takes a Dive
Research shows that when temperatures reach just 75°F (24°C), workplace productivity can drop by as much as 40%. Unchecked sunlight brings heat and glare that cause discomfort, eye strain, and distractions– making a hard day’s work even harder.
2. Safety Risks Rise
Heat doesn’t just make people uncomfortable – it makes accidents more likely. During hotter periods, incidents involving glass increase significantly.
3. Glare Disrupts Daily Operations
Whether it’s low winter sun streaming through windows or high summer rays bouncing off glass, glare can make it nearly impossible to see screens clearly. That’s not just annoying – it’s bad for business.
4. The Air Conditioning Trap
Sure, air-con might sound like the quick fix – but it’s an expensive one. Costly to install, noisy, and not exactly eco-friendly, air conditioning does nothing to address glare or the underlying issue: uncontrolled sunlight.
