A Balwyn study and a family living room may experience the same sunlight differently. Glare on a computer screen, light on a television and the desire for an open outlook lead to different choices about when a shutter should be lowered.
For ShieldCo, the useful brief begins with the household’s priorities. Which hours are troublesome? Is the room occupied then? Would closing the covering interrupt a view the owner values?
An adjustable external shutter may be worth considering, but its light-control positions should be demonstrated. This is a design discussion rather than a promise that one product will remove every comfort problem.
Three things to discuss
- Identify the task affected by glare
- Discuss acceptable daylight when closed
- See the actual slat and closure options
