Shading Solutions & Window Treatments for Home Offices

Remote working has become popular over the last several years for various reasons. Flexibility and increased team member productivity rates are just two of the top reasons why companies have found that employees who work from the comfort of their homes are far less distracted and can concentrate on their tasks more readily.

Setting up an efficient office is paramount for every remote worker’s success. That’s where we can step in to help. Today, our team at SunGard Window Fashions is delighted to discuss what to look for when selecting home office window treatments and we’re here to share a few of our favorite options.

What to Look for When Selecting Window Treatments for Your Home Office

  • Sound Absorption: Nothing is worse than to have a noisy background during a Zoom meeting or when you’re trying to concentrate on a work-related task. Sound pollution can become a huge distraction if you live in a busy neighborhood or in the middle of the city. Window treatments that are designed with superior sound absorption are essential to creating a comfortable office space that works for your home.
  • Light Management: Unwanted glare from the sun is also a nuisance tio productive work. The sun can make seeing your computer screen virtually impossible. Window treatments that offer a variety of lighting scenarios will make your home office even more productive and manageable.
  • Privacy Control: If your job requires you to work on confidential projects or take personal one-on-one meetings, privacy is crucial to optimize your security and your productivity when working with sensitive businesses.
  • Temperature Control: Window treatments that offer the proper insulation are essential to creating a comfortable working environment all year round. An office that is too cold or warm can deter your work output.
  • Automation Options: You don’t want to spend all day adjusting your window treatments with the sun. Automated and motorized window treatments will streamline your life and work process with convenient control options. Your workday will not be interrupted by constant manual window treatment adjustments—so don’t bother getting up from that meeting and use your Pebble® remote to close your shades from the comfort of your ergonomic office chair.
  • Aesthetics: Window treatments that are more minimal in their design are always a good option for home offices. You want your space to be streamlined and uncluttered so that when you meet virtually or in-person with other employees or potential clients, your space appears professional in a meeting.
