The Base - Schiphol, the Netherlands

Having undergone a redevelopment process spanning over two years, the business heart of Schiphol Airport has been designated a new function. The Base has been transformed into the place to be for all basic facilities in the Schiphol Central Business District, ranging from office space to restaurants and childcare.

SolidScreens

On completion of the project in 2015, it soon transpired that the vertical blinds fitted did not sufficiently exclude the annoying glare of sunlight. Smits’ exterior sun blinds fortunately proved capable of providing an adequate solution, in creating both a comfortable indoor climate and a pleasant (working) environment! It was ultimately decided that the automatically controlled SolidScreen should be fitted, thanks to the reduction in energy consumption, modern look and proven durability it offers, without compromising on convenience. We were commissioned by De Haan Westerhoff to supply a staggering 1500 SolidScreens for this extensive project. The screens were installed by De Haan Westerhoff’s own fitters.
