So, what solution would you recommend for workstation glare protection that is unaffected by the weather?
I would recommend interior glare protection using sun control film systems. They are usually attached to the interior window frame and can be rolled up or pulled down as required. They are designed to keep out light and heat but are transparent enough to allow workers to see outside at any time. For this reason, this glare protection system is the only one on the market that is recommended by the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
If the workstation glare protection blocks the light, will there still be enough to work by?
Yes, the workstation glare protection is specially designed to provide sufficient light. However, particularly in spring, the weather can fluctuate between sunny and cloudy periods. And nobody wants to roll the glare protection up and down every two minutes – we’d never get anything done. So, in working conditions like this, screen-based workstations must be well illuminated by artificial light as a supplement to natural light. The artificial light should be as similar as possible to natural light.
Mr Krautwald, many thanks for the interview!
