Window shades can be a great light blocker in work areas

Vision blinds allow for a simple pattern for serious problems in workspaces, and tall blinds show up, especially on very large or tall windows that appear in different places. Individual light control is appropriate for each occupant, but especially in the office where unwanted glare can play havoc with computer screen visibility. The use of vision blinds offers a simple solution to redirect unwanted light beams. Also, with fabric-covered blinds, you have more control over sound and insulation effects.

Many offices are in high-rise buildings with large glass surfaces; sometimes the whole wall is glass. For these types of large, tall windows, vision blinds are the only answer for light control. Horizontal blinds would be too wide and bulky, while vision blinds can be installed in sections, hung straight, and don\'t have the weight issues that extra wide horizontal blinds will.

You can get as much versatility and color in vision blinds as in horizontal blinds. Another benefit of using vision blinds is that they don\'t trap the dust particles that other blinds do. They are easy to clean and look professional when laid in the same direction. You can position them in different directions, for an artistic effect, or with the louvers set to reflect light off the side walls from a central area, they look pretty while doing their job of controlling the light.

Controlling the lighting is very simple; simply adjust the slats away from the center of the room and towards a side wall. Shut off all the light you want or, on cloudy days, fully open the slats to allow diffused light into the room. For a stunning view, pull the blinds on both sides and enjoy a full window view. For more privacy or to darken the room, fully close the slats and blinds.

Vision blinds come with a horizontal top rail that covers the adjustment mechanism and adds to the overall look of the window treatment. With vision blinds you don\'t have the bunching problem at the top that you might have with roller blinds or fully open horizontal blinds. There is also no weight issue with these shades as they pull to the side instead of pulling up. The slat adjustment mechanisms work smoothly and easily, and some can even be machined.

In small offices, the use of vision blinds can make a room look larger, taller, and more professional. Most people are used to old Venetian blinds that were made with wide slats that hung horizontally from the windows. Newer blinds may have slats the size of your décor. There are always wide slats, but you can also get narrower slats.

If you need to replace a vertical slat, the process is very simple. Most are standard sized but are easily cut to fit any length you may need. Leave room at the top for hanging, and you can simply replace them in seconds. The process is easy enough for anyone to do, so you don\'t need to hire a specialist to replace a splint or two. They are available at most home improvement stores or blind specialty stores, including online websites.

Any lighting problem you may have in your office or home can usually be greatly improved by installing vision blinds. This is a real down to earth solution to a problem that can sometimes be overlooked. Having good lighting makes work easier, makes computer screens work better by reducing glare, and can save costs by providing insulation and noise control.
