System/s Details: To deliver an aesthetic custom solution for the refurbishment of Hermès boutique store on Singapore’s fabled retail stretch, Orchard Road. In a city obsessed with luxury labels, a contemporary solution to suite geometric rows of sharply angled embrasures was required.

Project Solutions: Timber Venetians were identified as a natural choice to provide a rustic look and accentuate the clean lines of this modern design. Given the obscure sizes and shapes of the windows, a motorized system was recommended for safety and ease of operation via remote control. After being engaged by the Paris-based architects, RDAI, a prototype was sent to France for sign-off. Steel frames were then welded in our factory to mimic the unique window reveals to ensure exact fit before delivery. In total, 34 fully motorized Timber Venetian Blinds with drops up to 4.5 metres were fitted and connected to Somfy Motor Controllers and integrated into the building management system to complete the architectural vision in maintaining a consistent appearance from floor to floor.

Welcome to Vertilux

As a Commercial Leader in the Window Furnishings Industry, Vertilux’s product stewardship has continued to evolve since the early 2000s. We believe it’s the most honest and transparent way of telling the world that sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. It’s part of our commitment to minimise social and environmental impacts.

Not only is Vertilux committed to manufacturing high-performance architectural solutions, we are also dedicated to using resources responsibly to assist in creating healthier and more energy-efficient environments. We were also the first window coverings company in Australia to have our Blind Fabrics assessed by an independent environmental organisation, Global GreenTag International, a world-leading database and knowledge base for the green building industry, contributing credit points to Green Star, LEED® and WELL Rated Building Standards, as well as aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Additionally, Vertilux understands the complexity of architectural specifications to deliver responsive custom window applications whilst providing variable light control, as well as adaptive thermal comfort for its occupants against daily variations in temperature, which ultimately reduces energy consumption.
