If you work in an office without any kind of window dressing, you are probably suffering. Glare on your computer screen, heat during the day, and a lack of privacy can dramatically affect your health, comfort and productivity at the office.
Blinds can be the perfect solution. Blinds will help you control glare and light, keep your office cool in summer and warm in winter, and ensure private meetings stay private.
To completely block out glare, look for "blackout shades" or blinds without route holes. Many wooden and aluminium blinds come with this feature. These blackout blinds are excellent for rooms containing sensitive computer equiptment or where presentations regularly occur.
If your office overlooks a stunning view, which you'd like to retain, shades that roll up or down can provide you with protection when necessary without compromising your view. These shades can roll up tight at the top of the window, obstructing as little of the view as possible, and look smart and sophisticated to visiting clients.
For floor-to-ceiling windows, vertical blinds have been popular in office buildings for years. They can be installed within the frame or over the glass. Aluminium venetians can also look good if you'd prefer a horizontal blind, and you can buy these with blackout coating and faux-wood look to co-ordinate with the office décor.
If your office contains a skylight, you can buy a pleated blind or honeycomb shade, which will let in light but keep out heat and glare. Blinds and shades for skylights need to be specially made and can be quite expensive.
Most offices require blinds to be fire resistant. If you work in a particularly damp building, you may also need water-resistant blinds (such as vinyl). Your local manufacturer or blinds retailer will be able to assist you in finding the ideal blind.
Remember, even if you don't have a problem with the lack of blinds in your office, some of your clients might prefer the privacy that blinds offer. If you deal with high-profile clients or sensitive information, you should consider installing blinds to protect their privacy,
Improve your working conditions by adding blinds. They're inexpensive, easy to install and low maintenance.
