The benefits of our Ambulance blinds
Enhancing Comfort for Dementia Patients
A key benefit of our ambulance blind windows is the positive environment they help create for patients living with dementia. In converted ambulances, thoughtful glazing and printed blind units can contribute to a calmer, more reassuring experience.
How our products help:
- The printed blind option allows the inclusion of soothing imagery. For example a countryside scene, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort to a dementia patient.
- With integral blinds and specialist glazing we can support improved contrasting on seating, floors and steps within the vehicle, helping visibility and orientation for patients with cognitive impairment.
- Reduced glare, improved light control and enhanced privacy all add to a calmer cabin environment, especially important for vulnerable users.
- By partnering with ambulance converters and OEMs we ensure that the window and blind units integrate seamlessly into the patient-compartment design, supporting improved patient experience.
Windows for Box-Body & PTS Ambulances
Whether you need off-the-shelf windows for a standard patient transport vehicle or a fully bespoke solution for a box-body ambulance conversion, SGI has you covered.
- Stock range: a range of windows, pre-designed for commonly used ambulance van conversions, with privacy tint options (10% light transmission) and optional frosted/opaque finishes.
- Bespoke manufacturing: for box-body vehicles and non-standard conversions we can design and manufacture windows to match body curvature (including spherically curved glass) and special layouts.
- Leak-free guarantee: All windows are housed in powder-coated aluminium frames built for longevity and weather protection – we offer a leak-free guarantee for ambulance use.
- Ease of installation: Our ambulance windows are engineered for faster fitting, helping reduce labour and vehicle downtime.
