Supermarket Night Blinds
Polar Africa is the southern Africa distributor of supermarket night blinds for one of the UK’s top brands, Thermasolutions, who have their night blinds installed in Tesco, Waitrose, Spar, Wall Mart, Marks & Spencers, Esso, Carrefour, Wholefoods, Coles, Sainsbury’s, Makro and Costco. The night blinds are manufactured in the UK (has not been outsourced to another country) and is the only blind in the local market that has been stress-tested by an independent testing authority in the UK – a number of blinds were mechanically opened and closed, without interruption, 3 650 times – the equivalent of 10 years of continued usage with no damage to the blind material or roll up mechanism.
The blind material used has the capability of reducing energy consumption on upright display fridges by up to 20%, freezer counters and isle cases by up to 30%. Should all the cases in a large supermarket be installed with our night blinds, total monthly electricity bills could be reduced by between 12% and 15% per month – making a return on investment possible between 8 and 12 months post blind installation!
Thermasolutions is also the only UL94 certified blind manufacturer in the world!
