The Perfect Coffee Shop Blinds

admin

Coffee shops have a fairly specific aesthetic about them. While there is some variance in style, most coffee shop styles can take on the same type of blinds without looking unusual. That’s why Domir is here today with some professional recommendations. What are the best coffee shop blinds? Let’s find out!

Coffee Shop Styles

The first thing we’ll go over is the different kinds of popular coffee shop styles. While there is really no limit to coffee shop styles, there do tend to be trends. Here are some of the most common ones.

Indie type coffee shops tend to have a comfortable, recycled vibe. You will often see thrifted furniture, chairs, and tables in them. Wood tones and desaturated colors tend to go well in these. They usually go for a warm appearance.
Industrial interiors are also common. These coffee shops use exposed pipes and recycled metal to their advantage. Pairing exposed steel or copper pipes with wooden furniture and concrete floors gives a very interesting vibe. It manages to feel hardy without feeling cold or uncomfortable.
Dark chic coffee shops go for a more high end appearance. These shops may use some of the exposed metal aesthetics used in industrial interiors. However, instead of balancing the metal with wood and fabric to make the shop cozy, it embraces the clean-cut aesthetic and pairs it with tile, metal tables and chairs, and contemporary design.

So, what is it that these designs have in common? No matter which of these aesthetics you look at, what they have in common is dark colors, light accents, and warm lighting. That’s enough to go off of when picking blinds.

Light Accent Colors

To offset the dark colors used in the bulk of the coffee shop, using lighter colors on blinds is a great idea. This will allow more light to come through as well as keep all the dark colors from blending into each other. Luckily, all of Domir’s blinds are available in white. However, a cream color or off-white would be better suited for a warm interior. Next to browns and blacks, white will come across as cold. Cream or off-white won’t be such a shocking contrast, allowing brightness in a nice, warm tone.

Warm Glow

In a dim coffee shop, you’ll want to have enough light for people to see what they’re doing without being force to sit in direct sunlight. Having the blinds open to let the sun in can be a wonderful idea, but if someone is sitting at a table in front of a window, they might want a reprieve. Using blinds that allow in sunlight while blocking out UV rays and heat is ideal.

The Perfect Blinds

Keeping all of the needs of a coffee shop in mind, we recommend honeycomb blinds. Honeycomb blinds are made up of cells, making them great for insulating. Want to keep the coffee shop from getting uncomfortably hot when direct sunlight comes hits the front of the shop? Just close your honeycomb blinds for protection against the sun. Honeycomb blinds also come in a nice warm color, allowing your coffee shop to remain its coziest.

The Best Choices for Library Blinds

admin

Choosing blinds for any location can be a tricky feat. However, somewhere specialized is even harder. That’s because specialized locations have their very own needs and requirements. The perfect environment for one thing may be detrimental to another. So, if you’re trying to determine the best choice for library blinds, Domir has your back. What exactly is it that a library needs in blinds? Let’s take a look.

Keep Out Direct Sunlight

The first thing one must consider when choosing blinds for a library is that libraries are home to countless books. Books can begin to degrade under less than ideal circumstances. This is even more important to keep in mind if the library you’re buying for has old or historic documents or tomes.

One thing that can quickly break down paper and old parchment is direct sunlight. The same ultraviolet light that causes fading and sunburns can also destroy paper over time. That’s why it’s best to keep direct sunlight out of libraries altogether.

Enough Light for Reading

The thing is, libraries are filled with reading and searching for books. To do both of those things, you need to be able to see. Therefore, you’ll need enough light to see by. Overhead lights can leave much to be desired. Their dull, yellow glow can be quite depressing and hard to see under. So, what’s the next best thing from direct sunlight? Easy – indirect sunlight.

Perfect Library Blinds

Just because you want to protect your books from ultraviolet light doesn’t mean you need to shut off windows entirely. There are plenty of blinds that will block out UV rays while still letting in tons of light. Those are the ideal library blinds. So, what kind of blinds do we recommend, keeping that in mind?

Roller screens are a fantastic choice for library blinds. They have UV protection but let in plenty of light, allowing you to read comfortably. Roller screens come with another bonus. They’re one-way and allow for privacy within the library. That makes them great for library offices in addition to the main windows. You can enjoy your reading without worrying about passersby looking in on you while still enjoying the view from inside the library.

Library Skylights

Larger libraries may also have skylights that let in lots of sunlight. If you have a skylight in your library that risks damaging books with direct sunlight, we recommend installing skylight blinds. Skylight blinds are usually comprised of a screen of some kind, much like roller screens. They’re held in place using side channels and can be opened or closed via a motor. If you have a smart device, you can download the app used for controlling motorized blinds. This makes motorized blinds easy to get started with, allowing you to have maximum control of the light in your library.

If you have any questions or would like to make an order, give us a call at Domir Blinds. Don’t forget: we’re the manufacturer which means you can order cheaper from us than any other distributor in Toronto. Plus, you can get up to 50% off on large orders. That’s a fantastic deal for an order of library blinds. We look forward to hearing from you!

Control Skylights with Specialty Skylight Blinds

admin

Control Skylights with Specialty Skylight Blinds If you have a skylight in your home, you know it can be kind of hard to control the light that comes in. Direct sunlight can be nice, but when you’re trying to watch TV in the living room, it’s quite the problem. Fortunately, you can take control of your skylight with skylight blinds. Domir is here to let you in on how they work and how they can improve your skylight experience. Let’s get started!

Control Direct Sunlight

Not all of us were the ones who chose to have a skylight installed. Sometimes a home already has one when you move in and it’s not something you’re concerned about. However, skylight can quickly go from unnoticed to nuisance. Direct sunlight coming in through a skylight can get in the way of all kinds of things. Therefore, Domir blinds suggests taking things into your own hands by installing skylight blinds.

Skylight blinds help you avoid direct sunlight issues by blacking out the window or filtering sunlight. If you choose blackout blinds, you can make your skylight completely obsolete if that’s what you wish. Window screens will let in light from outside while keeping out the direct sunlight. This is a fantastic choice when you enjoy the extra light but not the disruptive direct rays.

Angled Windows

When a skylight is angled, or even horizontal, you might be unsure how blinds will stay in place. Well, angling blinds is actually easier than ever with side channels. Side channels are attached to the sides of window frames and used as tracks for blinds. These will hold screens and shades in place no matter what angle they’re at. Therefore, even skylights at the same angle as the ceiling can be improved with blinds.

Out of Reach

The unfortunate thing about skylights is that they’re often out of reach, up on the ceiling. How will you be able to easily control light coming in through windows out of reach? Easy: motorizing your out-of-reach blinds makes opening and closing them easier than ever. With the touch of a button, you can block out the noon-time sun and then invite overhead lighting back in when the sun is lower in the sky. You can avoid the direct sunlight that might interfere with laptop or TV screens while still keeping your home well-lit the rest of the day.

Blinds Options

How many options are there for skylight blinds?

Blackout blinds will keep any sunlight from coming through your skylight when you decide to close them.
Window screens will filter out direct sunlight while still allowing your skylight to brighten up the room.
Motorizing either of these makes them easy to open and close, using your phone as a remote control.

Give us a call at Domir Blinds to order your skylight blinds. If you have any questions, our experienced staff will be happy to help.

Roller Screens for High Rise Office Buildings

admin

Roller Screens for High Rise Office Buildings If you base your company out of a high rise office building, you know there’s a lot that goes into making the perfect work environment. Even if you have the whole floor to yourself, you have to outfit that space yourself. That includes window coverings. Trying to figure out what kind of blinds to buy for your office space can be tricky. Let’s check out why roller screens may be the best choice for you and your high rise office.

Light Filtering

Roller screens are a great solution for office buildings for a lot of different reasons. For one thing, they filter light. That means your office space will remain lit up throughout the day without direct sunlight causing problems. They keep your office space from overheating and help out employees by ensuring they don’t have direct sunlight in their eyes. On the other hand, they don’t block out all of the light, leaving your office space dark and depressing. Light-filtering, roller screens are the perfect office solution.

Computer Friendly

Because roller screens filter sunlight, you don’t have to worry about direct sunlight glaring on computer screens. If you work in an office, you know sunlight on your computer screen can put a wrench in your work efficiency. It’s hard to concentrate when you can’t see what you’re doing.

Improve Roller Screens

Regular blinds allow streaks of direct sunlight to enter a room, making it hard to see your computer screen. Because roller screens are one solid piece, you don’t have to worry about sunlight coming in through slats. However, there is the possibility of sunlight coming in around the sides of your roller screen. That’s why we suggest buying side channels to go with your roller screens. Side channels attach to the sides of the window frame. The sides of your roller screens are then placed into the channels, removing any gaps in window coverage. That means you’re guaranteed to have no light leakage.

Professional Appearance

Roller screens are the best in professional appearance. They’re a no-frills solution for your office window coverage. When you have roller screens installed, you get the best window coverage for the best price and without making your office look too casual.

You can get an even more professional appearance if you order print on blinds. Print on blinds will allow you to order a roller screen with your company logo on it. If your logo isn’t what you want on your print on blinds, you can even opt for designs used for company projects or sectors. Putting up company-related designs may help improve the morale of employees as it gives them something inspiring to look at. After all, plain roller screens look professional, but they don’t exactly spark creativity.

If you’re interested in buying blinds for your high rise office windows, give us a call and we’ll help you with your order. Let us know if you have any questions and our professionals at Domir Blinds will be sure to help. You can even get up to 50% off your order over $500.
