We can supply and fit all types of blinds for homes and commercial premises.
Home Office Blinds
There are a growing number of people who regularly or always
work from home. Those who have been doing this successfully
have worked out how best to split their work life from home
life. Now unfortunately, with coronavirus (COVID-19) there are
many millions more people working from home. Some will
hate it and some will find it suits them perfectly.
Ideally, you need a quiet, comfortable space that is your home
office. In some cases, you may have a home office room or a
spare room with a desk and computer in the corner. For many
of the people who have found themselves working from home
unexpectedly due to coronavirus, their office may be sitting at
a laptop at the kitchen or dining room table.
We can’t tell you how to do your job at home but what we do
know from previous clients is that you need an area where
your computer screen and desk aren’t blinded by sunlight. The
best way to do that is to install window blinds. Yes, you can
shut your curtains but who wants to sit in the dark with only
electric light on a beautiful sunny day.
At Forth Blinds, we supply and fit a wide range of made-to-
measure window blinds. We can supply the perfect blinds to
suit your home décor and meet your requirements.
Benefits of Home Office Blinds
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are easy to fit and are available in hundreds of
colours and patterns. We can even supply environmentally
friendly blinds or personal printed blinds. When the sunlight is
not on your screen you can roll the blind up so you can see
outside and get the benefits of daylight but as the sun moves
round and starts to shine into your room you can gradually roll
them down but still get some sunlight.
Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds are horizontal
slatted blinds. The slats can
be made from PVC,
aluminium or wood and they
are also available in many
colours. For blocking sun
glare, they are extremely
flexible. As with roller blinds,
they can be pulled down
covering the whole window,
or just pulled partway down.
However, they have the additional benefit of being able to
move the horizontal slats. You can angle them so that you get
some daylight in your room but prevent the glare on your work
area.
If you have uPVC windows, you can install Perfect Fit Venetian
blinds which have the benefit of no dangling cords. Not only do
they look very slick and tidy but they are much safer if you
have young children.
Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds have a similar
look to venetian blinds with
the exception that their
louvres are vertical instead
of horizontal. They are ideal
for tall windows but can be
used in any size of window.
As with Venetian Blinds they
are excellent for shading
your room for the exact
amount you wish as the
blind can be opened, closed
or closed with the louvres
tilted.
