Create complete darkness in your bedroom or other spaces with the beautiful utility of blackout window blinds. Many folks all over the Los Altos area choose to go with room darkening window treatments because of their excellent ability to add privacy and comfort to any room. You’ve got all sorts of blackout blinds can you choose for your home or office windows. The most important thing is to go with something that delivers the best-bang-for-your buck, both in terms of utility and décor.
What Are Blackout Blinds?
You’ve got a range of opacity to choose from when it comes to blinds and window shades. So what does “blackout” mean really? Well, blackout blinds are made specifically to ensure that sunlight doesn’t stream through your windows when the blinds are closed. Not from the sides, bottom, or top. Custom blackout blinds, (often Venetian-style, but also vertical) are made to eliminate the presence of sunlight indoors. They won't let any rays through while the vanes align to slightly overlap over each other.
Blackout Blinds For Los Altos Bedrooms
Sleep is something many people take for granted. But it’s actually incredibly important for your day to day functioning, and longevity and general health. Sunlight is sleep’s worst enemy. That’s why blackout bedroom blinds became so popular all across California and other sunny states. Even a sliver of sunlight streaming inside while you’re asleep can cause you to wake up. This will lead to a groggy feeling throughout the day, and potentially even longer-term health problems (if you continue to not get enough sleep each day). That’s why blackout blinds for bedrooms make for such an excellent choice. They also provide complete privacy so that no one from the outside can peer through the windows while the blackout blinds are closed.
Blackout Office Blinds
In commercial office spaces, especially when computer screens are involved, sunlight can prove a major issue. Glare from computer monitors can damage eyesight in the long run, and will hamper productivity and lower employee morale. Blackout blinds, therefore, make for a great option for Los Altos offices as well. They can eliminate sunlight glare completely, even during peak brightness hours. You can find another use for blackout blinds in office spaces, and that’s privacy. Perfect for boardrooms and office windows that let you completely block out visibility form the outside.
Blackout Blinds For Skylights & Doors
High windows and skylights can get a lot of use from blackout window treatments. With the sun shining overhead, skylights can brighten up the room in a wonderful way. But in bedrooms and other areas like TV rooms where you might, on occasion, want darkness during the day, they can prove a problem. With skylight blackout blinds you can simply adjust the vanes and close off sunlight whenever you want, without worrying about slivers of light streaming through. The same goes for larger surface areas like window walls and doors. Blackout blinds for sliding glass doors can let you easily blot out sunlight and give you privacy from the outside during nighttime.
