The Best Blinds for Elderly Residents and Homeowners

Webmaster
The Best Blinds for Elderly Residents and Homeowners

Growing old comes with a number of new needs and difficulties. For some, it means it’s more difficult to reach and pull something like a blinds cord. For others, it means they need another hour or two of sleep each night to stay awake all day. These are just natural parts of getting on in years. However, those difficulties can make the kind of blinds you get that much more important. So, here are some blinds that work best for elderly care home residents or elderly homeowners.

Blinds with Total Light Control

If you have a hard time reaching and pulling on a cord, what’s the obvious solution? Blinds that don’t need to be opened and closed all the time. If you want to control the lighting in your home without pulling the blinds up and down, you can achieve that with the Ninet.

The Ninet is a special Domir Blinds design that combines slatted blinds with a fabric exterior lining. When kept “closed” with the slats open, sunlight is free to travel nicely into your home. However, UV is filtered, there are no direct sunrays to glare off glasses and screens, and you maintain your privacy. 

Adjusting the slats inside the blinds is easier than lifting or lowering the blinds entirely. Adjusting the slats can lower the amount of light coming in, all the way down to nothing. You’re in complete control of the amount of light, all without having to put your biceps to work.

Automated, Remote Control Blinds

Speaking of lifting blinds being difficult, there’s an even easier solution. Any set of blinds bought from Domir Blinds can be automated. Not only does this allow you to live free of blinds cord pulling, it also means more design options.

Our automated blinds turn your nearest smart device into a remote control for your blinds. So, if you’re ready to put those blinds down for the night, just navigate out of the game you’ve been working on, go to the Somfy app, and tell your blinds what to do.

What’s even better than a remote control? Not having to do anything at all. Automation takes remote control one step further. If you always put your blinds down at 6pm, you can simply tell the app to do that for you. Then, every night at 6pm, the blinds will go down. Want them back up at 8am? It can do that too.

Why You Should Buy Domir Blinds

If you’re in the market for new blinds and aren’t sure where you’re buying yet, we do recommend ourselves – naturally. However, there are reasons why Domir is the best option – especially if you’re buying blinds for an entire assisted living or retirement home. Because we’re the manufacturer, you can bulk order blinds from us and save a lot of overhead. Department and hardware stores have to pay their employees somehow. That somehow just happens to mean charging you more. So, if you’re interested in learning more, we would love to hear from you!

Luxurious Curtains That Are More Than Curtains

Webmaster
Luxurious Curtains That Are More Than Curtains

Want to cover your windows with something elegant but effective? Say goodbye to blinds and say goodbye to traditional curtains. You can have the elegance of luxurious curtains and the light control of blinds by making one simple purchase: sheer vertical blinds. These blinds from Domir Blinds have everything.

They Look Like Curtains

Like the soft, elegant appearance of curtains? Sheer vertical blinds may be called blinds, but they’re made of fabric and look like luxurious curtains. Not only does this provide you with an elegant cover for your windows, it also means customizable colors. Unlike hard blinds, curtains are perfect for exercising your love of color. Colored fabrics are gentle and personal – inviting all of your guests to step into your visual world as soon as they step into your home. Sheer vertical blinds are as customizable as standard curtains, but come jam packed with more features.

Three Layers of Light Control

The defining feature of sheer vertical blinds is that they come in two layers. The first layer is a sheer piece of fabric that allows in ambient sunlight from outside. However, it filters the UV from that sunlight and prevents direct rays of sun from bothering you. So, no more screen glare, sunburns, damaged plants, sun-bleached fabrics, or any other headache caused by UV.

The second layer of fabric is a thick, blackout material. Closing this layer prevents any light at all from entering your window. Therefore, you can have it all – complete exposure, filtered exposure, or none at all.

More Privacy

Did you think that’s all there was to these blinds? Fortunately, there’s more where that came from. That sheer layer we mentioned does more than filter sunlight, it also creates a one-way privacy effect. Therefore, you can cover your window with the sheer layer, allowing you to enjoy the sunlight and complete privacy. No one outside can look in, but you can still enjoy the views from your home.

Increased Insulation

Many people may not realize it, but there’s more to blinds than light control. Blinds are also important for window insulation. This is especially true for windows that aren’t well insulated by themselves.

Sheer vertical blinds are perfect for insulating large windows. The sheer fabric may not do a lot, but the blackout layer is great insulation. Protect your home from outside cold by closing both layers and adding another degree of temperature separation between you and the great outdoors.

Buy Domir Blinds

If you’re in the Toronto area, Domir Blinds is the perfect place to order your sheer vertical blinds. Domir Blinds is a manufacturer, which means you can cut out the middle man. What does that mean, exactly? Well, department and hardware stores buy blinds from us, then sell them to you for a higher price. Skip the higher price tag and buy them straight from us. When you shop Domir, you can easily outfit your entire house in one easy order. Just give us a call if you have questions, need a quote, or would like some help ordering.

Doctor’s Office and Clinic Blinds in Toronto

Webmaster
Doctor's Office and Clinic Blinds in Toronto

If you have a clinic or doctor’s office in Toronto, you’re in the right place to get the best deal on blinds. Replace clinic blinds with affordable upgrades from Domir. Here’s what we have to offer that we think would be perfect for your office setting.

Warm Appearance

If you’re outfitting a doctor’s office or clinic with new blinds, one of the important things to keep in mind is appearance. Blinds aren’t all made the same. Appearance matters – especially in a doctor’s office. If you’re hoping to put patients at ease, you’ll want something warm in appearance. Who knew blinds could be warm in appearance? Well, the pros at Domir did!

Warm blinds for a doctor’s office or clinic can come in many forms. However, our favorites are The Ninet and honeycomb blinds. These fabric blinds are great for adding a soft touch to the room’s decor. Plus, if you opt for The Ninet, you get great lighting control. Therefore, you can also keep the light levels in your office comfortable for those waiting.

The Ninet is made up of slatted blinds, covered in a layer of fabric on each side. This gives you a stylish, warm appearance on the outside, with fantastic lighting control on the inside. The fabric sides keep light ambient at all times. However, with a flick of the wrist, using the adjustment rod, you can lower light levels or even prevent sun from entering at all.

Sleek, with High Level Control

Some doctor’s offices and clinic blinds should aim away from cozy and more toward sleek. Expensive offices meant to impress more exclusive clientele may need less comfort and more style. In those cases, something like Magic Lite is a better choice.

Magic Lite doesn’t just look stylish and sleek, it also comes with high level lighting control. Using the cords, you can adjust the wide, flat slats to go from complete exposure to complete blackout. This is an excellent feature for blinds in any office space where direct sunlight may cause discomfort. Keep waiting patients and staff likewise comfortable by blocking out direct sunlight in style.

Motorized and Automated

As with every kind of office space, we always recommend considering motorization and automation. Blinds automation is convenient for any location, but especially a place of work. Instead of staff having to walk around the waiting room each morning and afternoon to adjust the blinds, let automation do it for you.

Almost any of Domir Blinds’ blinds selection can be motorized. Motorizing blinds is as simple as making some motorized connections behind the fascia. Then, you can connect to the blinds with an app on your smart device – something present in most offices. From there, you can adjust the blinds from a distance or set up timed adjustments.

Buy for Cheap, Buy in Bulk

If you’re looking for affordable blinds for a whole building, Domir Blinds is the place to shop. We’re a manufacturer, which means you don’t pay any additional overhead prices like in department or hardware stores. Plus, we don’t run out of stock. Get blinds for the whole building without a hitch. Just call us today if you have questions, need a quote, or would like help ordering.

Cordless Blinds for Parents and Pet Owners

Webmaster
Cordless Blinds for Parents and Pet Owners

Kids and pets may not be the same thing, but they do come with a surprising amount of similar care needs. Safety comes with a lot of overlap between the two. One such concern is blinds cords. Hanging cords can be a huge safety hazard for small children and adventurous pets. Fortunately, there are cordless blinds for parents and pet owners available at Domir Blinds.

The Risks of Corded Blinds

If you’re new to parenting or pet ownership, you may not realize the risks associated with corded blinds. It’s important for you to know, so we’ll start there. Pets and small children simply love messing around with fun objects. For a small child, what’s more fun than a long, dangling cord? These cords almost always have multiple strings in them, tied at the bottom. This creates a loop of string, often reachable from the floor. If a child gets tangled in this cord, they could get choked. The same goes for a dog or cat that wandered into the cord by accident while looking out the window.

The best way to keep children and pets safe from blinds cords is to opt for cordless blinds. Fortunately, these are common in the blinds market, since they have a cleaner appearance.

Utilitarian Cordless Blinds

If you seek blinds that serve their purpose and not much else, we have utilitarian blinds at the ready for you. Our roller shades and roller screens are the perfect solution. These simply, utilitarian blinds are made of dense, flat panels that roll up at the top of the window. To open them, you can simply pull them down from the bottom. Or, if you’d like some cords that are safer, you can opt for a mounted chain.

Some blinds, like roller shades, can come with mounted chains. This chain functions like a blinds cord, but is mounted on the wall inside the window frame. There, it rests around a pulley system. You can pull one side and it will go around the pulley system to adjust your blinds. However, without any additional slack, it won’t become a hazard for pets or children.

Cordless Blinds with Style

If you’re looking for cordless blinds with a bit more style, one of our favorite cordless blinds designs is sheer vertical blinds. These blinds are more like curtains than standard blinds. However, they come in two layers with privacy built in. We think that makes them a bit more special than standard curtains. 

The first layer is sheer and can only be looked through from the inside. This layer allows in filtered sunlight to illuminate your home. The second layer is a blackout layer to prevent sun from getting in at all. This makes them very versatile for your light adjustment needs.

Shop Blinds at Domir

If you’re looking for new cordless blinds in Toronto, Domir Blinds is here to help. From honeycomb to Magic Lite, we have it all. Just give us a call if you have questions or would like assistance with ordering.
