Roller Shades for Office Windows

Roller Shades for Office Windows

Keeping an office functional requires many considerations. In the modern era, one such consideration is lighting control. Maybe 80 years ago, more light was a better thing. It would have made it easier to see that paper you’re hunched over. However, these days, we’ve all got computer screens – and those are no friend to sunlight. Here are some reasons why roller shades are the right choice for office windows.

Clean, Sleek Look

Roller shades have a lot of benefits, visually. First and foremost, they have a very clean, sleek appearance to them. Their simplistic design fits well in an office space. If your office aesthetic is utilitarian, they fit right in. If it’s not, well, they don’t distract from whatever fabulous decor you have displayed. They’re a great, no-nonsense look for any office.

Plus, a simply design like roller shades for office windows is great at preventing distraction as well as light leaking. They completely block out what’s going on outside when closed. 

If you incorporate side channels, not even the very edges can give way to the afternoon sun. That can make all the difference in employee focus. After all, slatted blinds have holes in them for their ladder strings. Even one of those tiny holes can put a bright sunspot right in the middle of someone’s computer screen. Roller shades remove that risk completely.

Blackout and Screen

Blackout roller shades are the perfect choice if you want to banish sunlight for good – at least when the blinds are down. Pairing them with side channels and lowering them completely is like removing the window. However, if you’re not aiming to remove all of the sunlight, we’ve got another option.

Roller screens come with all of the simplicity of design that blackout shades do, but without the sun-banishing effect. Roller screens, instead, filter light. This prevents direct sunlight from getting inside and, instead, offers an ambient glow. If you work in an office that thrives on a bright, airy space, this is a great solution.

Corporate or Home Office

Roller shades are great for office windows in corporate buildings or in home offices. All of the benefits are present in both spaces. However, something extra to consider for home offices is that these shades are easy to clean and offer privacy as well. Roller screens are possible to see outside through, but prevent others from looking back in. These one-way screens are perfect for enjoying the view without screen glare or nosy neighbors looking back at you.

Buying in Bulk From Domir

If you’re shopping for blinds for a corporate office, you have the added benefit of saving a lot of money from ordering bulk. Domir Blinds isn’t a retailer; we’re the manufacturer. That means you don’t have to pay all of that extra overhead retailers tack on to pay their employees. With us, you get the lowest possible prices for our products.

Replace Blinds Throughout Your Home in Toronto

Replace Blinds Throughout Your Home in Toronto

Blinds are such an important everyday fixture in any home. If you’ve ever lived without blinds you probably did what everyone else without blinds does: found a substitute. We so crave control over the light levels in our environments that, without blinds, we quickly resort to sheets, blankets, curtains, and more. So, if your blinds aren’t doing their job, Domir Blinds wants to make it easy for you to replace them. Replace blinds throughout your home with Domir’s great selection in Toronto.

Privacy Blinds

The biggest reason people want blinds is to cover their windows and maintain privacy inside their homes. However, there’s a better solution for maintaining privacy than covering your window with a blanket. In fact, there’s a better solution than the cookie-cutter, aluminum blinds most modern houses are equipped with. Domir Blinds offers privacy blinds that look great while providing you sunlight and keeping out prying eyes.

Our best options for privacy blinds are roller screens and sheer vertical blinds. Both of these designs offer a sheer screen that allows filtered light in and views of outside. However, neither can be seen through the other direction. Therefore, your neighbors won’t be able to see inside your home.

UV Filtering Blinds

These same two blinds designs filter UV to protect you, you children, your pets, your plants, and even your fabrics. UV can cause sunburns and skin cancer, it can damage plants and stifle growth, and it can bleach out colored fabrics. Replace your blinds in your Toronto home and get your sunlight without all the problems incurred by UV rays. It’s easy when you rely on UV filtering blinds.

Blackout Blinds

Want your bedroom completely dark when you take your afternoon nap? Do you work the night shift and need to get sleep when the day is at its brightest? Blackout blinds are your new best friend. We offer blackout blinds in a number of forms. Most popular are our roller blackout shades and Magic Lite. 

Our roller blackout shades are simple, straightforward, and effective. Their thick, laminated layers prevent any light from coming through. Plus, roller blackout shades can be paired with side channels to prevent sunlight from sneaking in around the sides of your shade.

Magic Lite, on the other hand, is less simple. Instead of having one primary purpose (blocking out light), this design is adjustable. The broad, wooden slats can be adjusted to completely block out sunlight or to offer a room complete light exposure. The control is in your hands when using this sleek blinds design.

Motorized Blinds

If you have a lot of windows, save time on opening and closing the blinds each morning and evening by investing in motorized blinds. Any of our designs can be motorized upon order. We simply install the motor directly at the top, hidden by the fascia.

Motorized blinds can be controlled from an app on your smart device. Therefore, you can control your blinds from anywhere. Going on vacation and not sure if you put the front blinds down? Simply check the app and put them down from on the road.

Save Money by Ordering Domir

When you order from Domir Blinds, you save money! Because we’re the manufacturer, you can cut out the costs of overhead from department and hardware stores. Plus, you can save even more money by installing them yourself. Check out our handy DIY blinds installation guide to get started!

The Right Blinds for a Baby’s Nursery

Webmaster
The Right Blinds for a Baby's Nursery

Having a baby means making a few adjustments in our homes. From the time they’re born to the time they can talk, we have to read between the lines to keep our babies safe and happy. One infant comfort that many people forget to consider is the light level in their nap space. Let’s take a peek at some of the important facts and discuss the right blinds for a baby’s nursery.

Light Levels and Circadian Rhythm

There’s a really important part of everyday functioning that a lot of people just don’t know about: circadian rhythm. This is our internal sense of night and day cycles. Have you ever noticed yourself getting sleepy as soon as the sun sets? If not, it may just be because your house is full of electric lights. Without the interference of technology, the human mind is incredible at deciphering the signs of night and reacting appropriately. For most people, that means getting tired.

What does this have to do with nursery blinds? Well, our circadian rhythms are developed in our infancy and childhood. If you had a very regular sleep pattern as a child, you probably have a much easier time falling asleep as an adult. If your bedtime was irregular and you liked to stay up late – regardless of what the adults in your life wanted – you may have developed a poor circadian rhythm, leading to insomnia and poor sleep quality as an adult.

When creating a healthy sleep environment for your baby, it’s important to consider light levels. Ensuring your nursery is outfitted with blinds that block out sunlight is vital. Your baby will then begin to associate a dark room with sleep time.

Fear of the Dark

Want to avoid your child bursting into tears each time they’re left in the dark a few years from now? Fear of the dark is seen frequently in children – and even adults – who were never left in complete darkness as infants. Getting your baby accustomed to complete darkness is vital for their development of coping skills in darkness. In their earliest months, keeping a dimly lit crib attachment nearby is good for allowing them to adjust. However, as they advance through their first year, you should turn the light down lower and eventually remove it. 

Rocking them to sleep with all the lights out is a good way to give them reassurance that they’re not alone or in danger. Then, slowly, let them fall asleep by themselves in the dark. Using blackout shades or blinds can help you remain consistent with this even at nap time when the sun is still out.

The Right Blinds for a Baby’s Nursery

In order to encourage proper sleep hygiene in your baby (sleeping with the lights out and at night) nap time should always come with a darkened room. Blackout shades are great for ensuring the sun stays outside during nap time. If you’re looking for something a bit more stylish, Magic Lite also provides blackout levels of darkness when completely closed. And, they look great while doing it.

Just give us a call at Domir Blinds if you have any questions about our blinds or how to order.

New Professional Office Blinds for Every Need

Webmaster
New Professional Office Blinds for Every Need

A professional office needs to look its best, both for employees and for clients. However, professional office blinds aren’t just about appearance. Office blinds serve even more important functions in that they majorly impact the work environment. Here are some of our best professional office blinds designs and what makes them a great fit.

Stylish Blinds

Whether your office is purely for working, or also for hosting clientele, style might be important to you. A lot of companies put a lot of weight on their design sense. Any kind of design company has to keep up appearances. If you value the interior design of your office space, these blinds are just for you.

The Ninet

The Ninet are made of traditional, aluminum, slatted blinds paired with fabric on either side. They appear much like honeycomb blinds, but have the light controlling functions of slatted blinds.

These blinds are an exceptional choice for offices with a lot of computers. When all of your employees are working through screens, you need to have full control over the light in the space. Direct sunlight will impede their ability to see, bring down productivity, and increase eye strain and frustration.

The Ninet’s fabric lining means, even with the slats fully open, sunlight will be entirely indirect. The sun will light up your office space without shining directly on screens and interrupting the work flow.

Magic Lite

Magic Lite blinds are made of wide, wooden slats. These beat aluminum blinds with their modern elegance and ability to fully darken a room. These make great professional office blinds for places with a sense of style and less computer use. Is most of your office staff working with physical materials? If so, you can maneuver your Magic Lite blinds to bring in just as much direct sunlight as they need. Or, if it’s time for a presentation, close them entirely and darken the room.

Roller Blinds

Style isn’t always everything. Sometimes simplicity, cleanliness, and utility is the priority. If this sounds like your office space, roller blinds will be the perfect choice.

Roller Blackout Shades

Roller blackout shades are a familiar fixture of most high school and university classrooms. These shades are made of dense, flat materials that roll up at the top of each window. You can usually pull them down from the bottom, but they can also be controlled from a mounted pulley chain.

These shades are excellent choices for offices with many computers. They can be opened and closed as the sun moves across the sky, blocking out direct sunlight while still allowing illumination through surrounding windows. 

Roller Screens

Roller screens are made much the same as blackout shades. They’re also simple, flat panels that roll up to the top of the window. However, these ones allow some ability to see outside. The one-way visibility means your office stays private from the outside world. Furthermore, the design of the screen allows filtered sunlight in, illuminating a room without causing screen glare.

Get Side Channels

Roller blinds are best utilized with side channels. These hold them in place along the window frame and keep the office looking orderly. Plus, they also prevent pesky sunlight from sneaking in around the edges.

Motorize Your Professional Office Blinds

If you want an office that runs smoothly by itself, motorized blinds are a must have. With our handy app, you can put blinds on a timer or manually open and close them right from your phone. This is especially useful for higher office windows which are hard or impossible to reach by hand.
