5 benefits of solar shading for your home office

Isn't Work-From-Home lovely? No long commutes, more time to wake up peacefully, and the opportunity to enjoy the silence on the work floor (well, most of the times).

And yet, even when we work from home, it can be difficult for us to focus. Especially when it's too hot, too cold or too noisy, we get distracted more easily. With solar shading devices, you improve the work-from-home conditions and you add more style and comfort to your home office.

Say goodbye to working in the heat?

We'd rather enjoy our hot summer days on the beach than at our home office, wouldn't we?. But oh well, there's work to do, so WFH it is! Obviously, you don’t want to work in an overheated office. Turning on your air cooler works, but costs a lot of energy and money.

And during these times, we want to reduce our energy consumption, don't we?

With solar shading for your home office, you can reduce the room temperature increase. Solar shading blocks the solar radiation that heats your home. Less sunlight in your home means that your rooms will warm up less quickly.

We've built a zipscreen calculator for you. With this calculator, you find out by how much you can decrease the maximum temperature at home when you add zipscreens to all windows.

The solution against cold home offices?

And during the cold winter days, we crave for the heat again. Not only does the outdoor temperature drop below zero: inside, it gets colder, too. We could turn on the heater, but we'd rather limit our gas usage with these high prices.

Even though solar shading systems aren't the main solution for better-insulated homes, they do in fact contribute to keeping the warmth inside. When you roll out your roller shutter, zipscreen or roller blind, an insulation layer is formed between the window and the product.

Darker rooms, less bright screens, lower energy bills

We need to let enough sunlight into our office: it's healthy for us and it keeps us focused during our 9-to-5 workday. At the same time, too much sunlight isn't healthy either.

But think of the annoying sun glares that blind you, or the reflections that make your laptop screen unreadable. You can't work like that. We could adjust the brightness of our laptop screens, but the higher the brightness, the quicker our battery drains.

The solution? With solar blinds in front of your windows, you block most of the sun rays, while at the same time letting through enough light into your home office.

Distraction-free Work-From-Home

Of course, you'd love yourself some distraction-free work time. This can be difficult, especially if there's a lot to hear and see outside.

With solar shading, you block the view to the outdoors. On top of that, your nosy neighbours can't see what you're doing.

Roller shutters also have a great noise-reducing function, partially blocking the sound from outside.

A fashionable home office

Of course, your home office should be well-designed, too. An inspiring place, that allows for comfortable work at home. With solar shading products, and especially with window decorations, you can give your home office the best look.
