Over the summer months, with increased heat and humidity we understand that the last thing you and your employees want to do is sit in a warm office environment sat at your desk baking in the glorious British summer weather.
The workplace already has an array of distractions; emails, phone calls, background music and other distractions can massively impact workplace productivity. However, did you know that as the temperature gradually rises, the productivity of your workforce declines?
It’s a no brainer, with increased heat, people can become very lethargic and tired, to combat this, you might find staff take additional breaks back and forth to get water or find a new source of fresh air to cool down. In the more extreme cases, staff might suffer from heat exhaustion leading to further productivity wasted.
As a country which only has a few months of “good” weather, not every office or workplace has the benefit of air conditioning. Depending on the number of people in the workplace, and, in some cases, due to the installation of the units, air conditioning can cost more money to run and not distribute the needed fresh air to keep your staff cool.
From a health and safety point alone, making sure that your workplace and staff have access to unobstructed ventilation and fresh air is paramount, fans distribute warm air, and cold water only satisfy staff for a short period before they are back to being too warm again.
If you are looking for a cost-effective solution to provide a cooling breeze throughout the office, unlike air conditioning, window screens don’t need to be powered, which helps the environment, all you need to do is open the window to receive a natural cooling to the workplace. Window screens have double and triple uses!
A correctly installed window screen can help keep pollen out of the workplace - perfect for members of staff that suffer from hayfever. Also, a window screen from Streme can help keep out pesky creepy crawlies and wasps from the workplace.
