Window blinds
From 21 November, all blinds in Eilert Sundts House and Harriet Holters House will be locked in the raised position.
This is due to several cases in recent years where blinds have been damaged during winter because of ice, snow and bird nests. Repairs are both time-consuming and costly, so to prevent further damage the blinds will remain locked until spring.
Please use the curtains for sun shading during the winter months.
Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made – all blinds must be set the same way throughout the building.
To avoid unnecessary work, we kindly ask that no cases are submitted to the Estate Services regarding blinds that will not lower, as this is intentional.
