Vertical
blinds are widely popular in office and commercial buildings
where their sleek, straight lines lend themselves to a professional
look in any office while performing the basic functions
of shading and protection. When considering window treatments
for your home office or study you may also be looking for
an ‘unfussy’ tailored alternative too. Indeed,
if you merely want to screen off an area of a room to use
as a study, vertical
blinds can be mounted onto a tall frame to create a
room divider.
At the study window/s vertical
blinds can act as a security measure for all the expensive
electronic items that people tend to keep in a study such
as a computer, blackberry, scanner and printer. The adjustable
vanes can be slanted at an angle where passers-by cannot
see into the room and, therefore, provide privacy whilst
working as well as security when no-one is at home.
Obviously privacy and security are key considerations when
choosing window treatment for your study but another equally
important consideration is to ensure that there is the correct
amount of light coming into the room to provide optimum
working conditions. Adjusting the vanes on the vertical
blind to control light is a simple operation and the
light can be angled towards or away from the room occupant.
Anyone who has tried to use a computer screen in bright
light will understand the importance of this option to enable
the computer-user to continue working without hindrance
and in ambient conditions. Some researchers claim that being
able to control the amount of light can also reduce the
potential for eyestrain and headaches.
A further consideration in the study environment is that
of temperature and, when angled to control the amount of
sunlight entering the room, the vertical
blind also acts to control the room temperature –
lower when angled or closed and higher when fully open.
On a hot day this function can make a significant difference
to the working environment.
So with the vertical
blind providing style, security and privacy as well
as offering the easy control of temperature and light ......
why choose any other type of blind for your study?
