Best Blinds For Your Ship. Smart Budgeting For Your Ship. What Are The Choices
A question we commonly get asked is what are the “best blinds options and budget for my ship” Can you explain the choices available at Solarglide?’ Selecting the right blind for your onboard budget is essential, to ensure you get the product that you want and a solution that you can afford. So what are the options here at Solarglide? At Solarglide we recognise that budgets can vary depending upon the type of ship and the size. We have outlined a range of four options for our clients to consider.
Option 1 (lower blind costing) through to option 4 (most expensive blind costing). By having a range of options we hope that we can cater to all, with zero price shocks when the quotation arrives in your inbox.
All four price options use type approved marine solar film, so solar film performance remains constant whichever option is selected. All options reduce heat and glare, whilst also improving navigational visibility. All four price options are also permitted to be installed on the bridge of a ship or boat (no matter the ship type nor the size).
