How Hotel Rooms Benefit from Roller Screens

admin

How Hotel Rooms Benefit from Roller ScreensDeciding what features you should put in your hotel can be tricky. Certain things are necessary but can be bought cheaply. Blinds are one of those things. Buying cheap, metal blinds can be tempting, but here’s why we at Domir think you should choose screens instead.

What are Roller Screens?

Roller screens are one solid piece that can be pulled down over a window. Screens, unlike shades, are partially transparent – from inside! Screens offer a one-way view of the outdoors without compromising any privacy. This partial transparency allows sunlight to filter in, lighting up a room without overwhelming electronic screens and sensitive eyes. They can be left down all day long if you prefer not to fuss with your window coverings.

Better Coverage

We recommend pairing roller screens with side channels. These are unobtrusive channels that get attached to the sides of a window frame. Shades and screens can sit nicely in the channels and won’t leak sunlight around their edges anymore. There are a few reasons why this is better than roller screens by themselves and better than classic blinds.

  • Better privacy. Blocking the small openings at the sides of the screens ensures there’s no way someone can get a look in around the edges.
  • Better UV blockage. Roller screens block out most UV light. No direct light seeping in around the sides ensures UV light can’t damage things. Did you know that UV is what causes sun fading? Use roller screens and side channels to diffuse light and UV, keeping your hotel rooms safe from sun damage.
  • A cleaner look. Roller screens look great by themselves, but adding side channels makes them look cleaner. Keeping the screens neatly in place and avoiding movement from a breeze will keep a room looking put together.

The neat and tidy appearance of screens with side channels, allowing for a beautiful view without neglecting privacy, is exactly what your hotel needs. This light, cozy aesthetic looks great in brochures and on travel websites. They’re a great improvement from the lower-class look of metal blinds.

Money-Saving

Roller screens don’t just look fantastic, they also save you money every day. Due to their diffusion of sunlight, your hotel air conditioners won’t have to work as hard. Rooms will be easier to keep at their usual temperature. That means you get to pay less money toward electricity and your air conditioner won’t have to run all day.

The Professional Touch of Window Shades

admin

The Professional Touch of Window ShadesDecorating an office space or business to be appealing to customers while still remaining professional and functional can be tricky. There are a number of things to consider about a professional interior from flooring to paint. Domir Blinds is here to make the decision about window coverings a little easier!

Roller Shades

Roller shades are one of the most popular choices for a professional environment – and for good reason. Roller shades do a great job of blocking out the light that would otherwise make computer screens hard to see. They also don’t collect dust the same way regular blinds do. Regular blinds are hard to keep from getting dusty. In a place of work, who does it fall to to keep the blinds clean? If you’re having a hard time figuring that out, that might be why so many businesses have dusty blinds! Roller shades will make this a moot concern.

Blackout Shades

Roller blackout shades are the more effective cousin of roller shades! They function in exactly the same way but block out even more light, like you never had a window to begin with. These are ideal for presentation rooms and meeting rooms where projectors will be put to use. They’re also great for computer lab-type rooms where sunlight is almost always an inconvenience.

Side Channels

Both of these shade types, and especially the blackout ones, benefit greatly from side channels. Side channels are little tracks installed on either side of a shade. These are invaluable for when you want complete darkness. A shade isn’t always the perfect size for a window and there will be a sliver of light on either side of it. Light leaking through can be enough to make a computer unusable.

If the sun is rising or setting on the same side of the building as your window, that little ray of light could land right on your screen. And we all know how bright and eye-searing morning and sunset light can be. Avoid this scenario entirely with side channels. They’ll completely cover any cracks between the wall and roller shades you’ve installed. No more errant rays of light will ruin your presentation or work efficiency!

Side channels have another perk as well! If your windows are able to open or if you frequently have fans running, they hold shades in place. Wind from outside or from a fan won’t leave your shades moving around and causing distractions. Not to mention, side channels give shades a clean and finished look that you just can’t beat.

Print On Blinds

Regular shades are great for efficiency, but what about the front office where there are less computers and more customer service? Domir Blinds offers a fantastic solution for these areas! Print on blinds are a screen-type window covering where you can print on designs or logos. Create a desired atmosphere by adding a design to your blinds or advertise to passersby with your logo in the window.

All of these options are great for a professional look. Contact us to order. Remember, we’re the manufacturer. Save up to 50% when ordering straight from Domir!

6 Spooky Ideas to Get Your Windows Ready for Halloween

admin

 

This is Halloween, this is Halloween! Every year, neighbours try to outdo one another to claim the title as the spookiest – or at least the most memorable – house during Halloween.

 

Here are some ideas to get you started:

 

Ghostly procession

Take advantage of ghosts’ eerie way of floating through the air by stringing a bunch of ghost cut-outs together below the window valance. You can put up a bunch of small, whimsical-looking ones. Or to give a full scare to passersby, hang some life-size ones with ghastly faces at every window of your house.

 

Ominous colours

If decorations are not your thing but you still want to pay homage to the Halloween spirit, there’s a simple solution: get roller shades in orange, black, red, green, or purple. Then, make them pop by pointing a small lamp inside the window at them.

 

Arachnophobia

Want to wake up people’s inner fear of spiders? Cover your windows with cotton cobwebs and dozens of fake spiders to make it look like your house is infested with them.

 

Sinister backdrops

Don’t forget that you can transform the view through your windows however you want with the power of print-on blinds. Imagine having your favourite horror movie scene displayed at your window. Another great idea is to print a haunting landscape, but without any characters. It’ll give you the flexibility to change things up every year if you combine this with the next idea!

 

Decal scream scenes

You can be your own horror film director by finding new ways to stick decals on the window or the blinds themselves to populate the sinister backdrops from the previous idea. You can decide to create a zombie apocalypse scene one Halloween and a witches’ coven ritual scene the next. It’s an easy decoration idea with countless of possibilities!

 

Shadows in the windows

Nothing beats seeing strange silhouettes in the windows of someone else’s house. Window clings in the shape of mangy cats or demonic forms work very well.  What enhances their effect even more is if you use solar shades as the backing and shine a lamp through them.

 

May your Halloween be filled with more treats than tricks!

Here’s Why Motorized Blinds Are Game-Changers at Home and in the Office

admin

 

The option to motorize blinds has been a game-changer for both home and office interior designs. Here’s why:

 

Risk elimination

The safety hazard of window covering cords has been a longstanding issue. It’s what prompted Health Canada to propose changes last year to the Corded Window Covering Products Regulations. Motorized blinds eliminate that safety hazard risk altogether.

Without any dangling cords, you won’t have to worry about kids or pets accidentally strangling on them during play. Window covering cords can cause accidents at the office as well since they can get caught on staff rushing by. Motorizing window blinds is the best way to prevent that from happening.

 

Automated energy savings

As many personal finance experts recommend, one of the best ways to save money is to automate the process. The same principle applies to using window treatments to save energy.

Some blinds are specifically designed to either reduce heat gain, bolster insulation, or increase light control – all of which contribute to energy savings. However, you wouldn’t be able to maximize their potential if you’re relying on your own memory to open and close them at the right time.

With motorized blinds, you can set it and forget it. Whether you choose motorized systems based on programmable times, solar sensors, or temperature sensors, you can be confident that you’re getting the most energy savings at home and in the office.

 

Time efficiency

Besides money, time is also precious. When you’re about to start a presentation meant to convince investors to place their trust in your company, you don’t want to drain their anticipation by manually closing the blinds one by one. When you get a rare moment to relax in your personal home theatre, you don’t want to spend part of it going around the room closing blinds.

How much is your time worth to you? And what about your investors’ and clients’ time? The answers to those questions would be enough to highlight this major benefit of motorized blinds.

 

Operational ease

As technology advances, we strive to do bigger things with less work. Improved engineering and industrial processes allowed us to have larger windows to let in more natural light. So window coverings have to catch up.

The problem is that the larger and taller windows are, the heavier the window treatments. That means more effort required on our part to operate them. Motorized blinds, however, shoulder all that effort for us.

 

Convinced yet? Go ahead – motorize it!
