The sun shining through the window or lights from the street outside can make it difficult to see your computer screen, which is why controlling glare in an office environment is necessary. Glare makes it harder for our brains to process what we are looking at, meaning that glare reduces productivity and increases eye strain. Luckily there are many ways you can control this glare.
Blinds and shutters in Sydney are the best way to control glare in a home office environment. This is because they can reduce sunlight coming into a room while still letting natural light flow through. Screens on windows also help block out some of this harmful light, but window treatments such as blinds or curtains work much better to control glare.
Types of window treatment more suitable for a home office include:
Blinds and panels such as vertical blinds in Sydney.
Cellular, pleated or honeycomb blinds with a roller system is perfect for controlling glare in an office space.
Roller shades are also great because they can be lowered when needed but rolled up to allow more light into the room when necessary.
Curtains typically block out even more of the sun's harmful rays than cellular window treatments, making them a superior option if you want complete control over your sunlight exposure while working from home. They also work well as an aesthetically pleasing way of hiding clutter on windowsills. If you have children at home curtains help protect their eyes from UV damage too.
In general, it is best to use multiple types of window treatment rather than just one type because this will help reduce the sun's glare and heat while allowing you to have greater control over how much of light and privacy you really want in the room.
