Factors in Selecting Window Solutions for Your Business
Running a business means wearing lots of different hats - marketing specialist, sales manager, communications professional and tech expert. How about interior designer? It may not be on your radar, but you’ve already been making decisions that will impact the first impression that your customers have of your business. What does your waiting room, shop, office, showroom, hotel or cafe say about your company and even your brand? Maybe you haven’t considered how important aesthetics are but your customers are registering every detail when they visit. Turn a critical eye and enter your business the way a new customer would. What do they see? Is the space inviting? If you aren’t sure, you may need to think about a refresh. One of the most impactful ways to change things up and ensure that your business has a welcoming, professional vibe is by updating your window solutions.
There are some key factors to keep in mind when pondering new window treatments for your business. The first is natural light and your ability to control it. A bright, airy feel can enhance the shopping experience or amp up the morale and productivity of the employees in an office setting. Artificial overhead lighting can be harsh and much less than inspiring. However, having the ability to decide how much natural light flows in at any given time is important, especially since distractions like glare on computer screens and the ability to darken a space to use projectors in conference rooms is real.
How many windows you have in your place of business is important but the direction they face plays a critical role in selecting the right window treatments. As the sun rises in the east, giving east-facing windows more natural light in the morning, they should be treated differently than windows that are looking south or north. Select treatments with more versatility and the ability for adjustment for east and west-facing windows.
Think of the material and how easy or difficult window solutions may be to clean. If they require lots of time to maintain or require an outside company to come in to clean, they might not be the right window treatments for your business. Low-maintenance options that can be wiped down easily or vacuumed are great choices in the long run.
The damaging rays of the sun can take a toll on your merchandise, furnishings, flooring, artwork, and photos. UV rays are always around us, during cloudy days as well as sunny ones so constant protection is essential. Avoid yellowing, fading, and peeling of your valuables with effective window solutions.
How does saving money on your heating and cooling bills sound? When you have energy-efficient window treatments, you are making an investment in your business. The savings of using solutions that are natural insulators can be substantial. And just think of the comfort of your employees and customers when cool air isn’t escaping during the summer and your business stays toasty warm all winter long.
