When
it’s come to window treatment in your office, there is always a dilemma of
options to choose from, window blinds and window curtains. Here we will list
all the qualities of both the blinds and curtains that help you to decide which
one is suitable for you in terms of light control, privacy needs, comes under
your budget and suit your décor taste as well. Since window treatment is
important to create an environment that you desire.
Light
control
The
instant function to open and close blinds with a twist of the lever is very
beneficial in office premises. As well as the blinds can control light in a
range of angle based on your needs. A simple stick-like wand can change the angle
of slats to allow the sunlight in your space. Meanwhile, the curtain can
restrict light but not up to the level of blinds. Since the light controlling
capacity of curtains depends on the fabric that you are choosing for your interiors.
Privacy,
Insulation and soundproofing
Both
curtains and blinds aid a better degree of privacy in your office cabins. In the
case of soundproofing thick curtain materials that are heavyweight with tightly
woven fabrics can perform better than the blinds. Since the blinds have a gap
between which the sound enters and leave from your office cabin.
For
insulation, it depends on your office environment and climatic condition. But
the curtains with thick blackout material having acrylic foam in between and the
honeycomb-shaped grid of air pockets provide more insulation compared to
blinds.
Décor
As
curtains come in a wide range of style thicknesses, patterns, colors and
materials it easily suits the variety of office interiors and environment. Curtains
with elegance and more subdued nature can add a sumptuous with a rich look to your office interiors.
For instance, the thin and sheer curtains are suitable
for a light and airy environment in your office with a minimalistic interior.
At the same time, thick blackout curtains like velvet suits the cozy
and contemporary style interiors.
However, blinds are more suitable to create an industrial
style in your office and corporate interiors. Because they are considered for a
more sober, reliable and professional look. It is also believed the bamboo
blinds bring peace of mind in the stressful and more busy office cabins.
Maintenance
Compared
to blinds, curtains attract more dust. Cleaning curtains can take a bit more of
your time like cleaning with a dust brush, vacuum top to bottom and machine
wash as mentioned. If your curtains stained and you also need to follow the strain-removal
process.
In
the case of window blinds, all you need is to wipe the blinds with a microfiber
cloth. You can adjust the slats to perfects clean them. But when the slats made
of fabric and not from a solid material the cleaning wouldn’t be a fun job to
do.
Budget
When
it comes to cost, curtains are always cost-effective that the blinds made of
solid or wooden material. Although keep in mind the velvet/suede curtain can
still be costlier than wooden blinds. For that, you choose faux silk instead of
pure silk to reduce cost. Regarding blinds, you can prefer vinyl tend which are
more affordable than aluminum, wood or textured blinds.
Curtains
and blinds:
To
gain the maximum benefit, you can install both of them. For instance, in your
main cabin and client visitation room where there is less traffic you can add
curtains of your taste to add a subtle and elegant look. In case of highly
stressed and people gathering areas like the primary working hall you can add pure
white blinds to create a classic colonial beauty to your space
