With more people spending time at home and working at home this year due to COVID-19, we are seeing an increase in the need for blinds.There seems to be several reasons for this.

Some people are finding that they have set up a home office area but they are getting glare from the window and either cannot see their screen or cannot run online meetings properly as all anybody can see is bright sunlight.

So instead, they close the curtains and sit in the dark.

And this isn't a good way to spend your days!Others are finding that now they are at home during the day they feel that too many people can look in and see what they are up to.

They are buying blinds for daytime privacy.Our Vision blinds or 'day and night' blinds are ideal for both situations.

Not only do they look modern and are extremely popular for this reason but they provide privacy during the day and still let daylight in.
