For an Oakleigh room facing a footpath or neighbouring outlook, a homeowner may want more control over visibility. That does not automatically mean keeping the shutter closed throughout the day.
ShieldCo’s assessment should include the hours the room is occupied and the owner’s tolerance for a reduced outlook. Ask to understand the actual product’s open, partially open and closed positions, rather than relying on a general claim about adjustable light.
A useful choice is one the household will use comfortably. The right brief might focus on a single exposed opening, with other windows left for a later stage.
Three things to discuss
- Check sightlines from the occupied room
- Discuss which hours privacy matters
- Inspect the proposed product’s positions
