IPHUZU ELIPHEZULU - Ukuqubuka okubangelwe wubhubhane kubantu abasebenza ekhaya kwavula amasango ezikhukhula ezinto ezintsha zefenisha yasekhaya. Izinkampani esezivele zikhona esigabeni zakhuphula iminikelo yazo, kwathi abasanda kungena bangena enkundleni okokuqala benethemba lokuzuza.

Ingxenye isiyanda, futhi amakhasimende amaningi angena esitolo engaqiniseki ukuthi afunani. Yilapho abahlanganyeli bezokuthengisa bengena khona.

Ama-RSA angumzila obalulekile wokufundisa ikhasimende, ukuhlola izidingo zawo, nokuqinisekisa ukuthi liphuma emnyango lithenge.

Yini endaweni yokusebenza?

Okokuqala, ama-RSA kufanele aqonde ukuthi amakhasimende afunani emahhovisi awo asekhaya.

"Ukuthengisa ihhovisi lasekhaya kudinga ukuqonda ukuthi umthengi usebenza kanjani nokuthi uhlela ukuyibeka kuphi indawo yakhe yokusebenza," kusho uMarietta Willey, iphini likamongameli, ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo kanye nokuthengiswa kweParker House. "Kuzomele unqume ukuthi bafuna ideski abazolibeka ngemuva kukasofa, ideski lokubhala legumbi lokuqala noma isethi ephelele yehhovisi lasekhaya elizinikele."

I-BDI yensiza yamahhovisi asekhaya akudala ithi ama-RSA adinga ukwazi kahle ukuthi ifenisha izozuzisa kanjani ikhasimende.

“Kubalulekile ukuthi abadayisi abasebenzisana nabo bayiqonde kahle ifenisha nezici zayo, kodwa futhi kumele baqonde izici zehhovisi lasekhaya elisebenzayo,” kusho iphini likamongameli wezokuthengisa we-BDI uDavid Stewart.

“Isibonelo, amadeski ethu amaningi anamaphaneli okufinyelela kalula ukuze afinyelele ekuphathweni kwezintambo,” kwengeza uStewart. “Kuyisici esihle lokho, kodwa inzuzo ukuthi umthengi angashiya izintambo zezintambo, bese ideski livale izono zabo. Ukuba nedeskithophu yengilazi ene-satin kuyisici esihle, kodwa iqiniso lokuthi isebenza njenge-mousepad futhi ihlala ingenazo izigxivizo zeminwe kuyinzuzo.

“Abathengisi abahamba phambili ababonisi nje ukuthi umkhiqizo wenzani, bachaza ukuthi umzuzisa kanjani umsebenzisi.”

Umlandeli wezici

Kodwa uma kuziwa ezicini, abangani kufanele bazibukise kanjani? Ingabe izici ezijwayelekile zibalulekile ukuthi ziboniswe kuqala? Noma izinsimbi namakhwela?

Zombili zibalulekile ngokusho kukaMartin Furniture, kodwa futhi akukho okubaluleke kakhulu. IPhini likaMengameli we-Imports u-Pat Hayes uthe inkampani igxile ekuboniseni izinga nokwakha.

"Amadrowa yinto yokuqala ikhasimende elifinyelela kuyo lapho libheka ideski, lokho futhi lihambisa izandla phezulu ukuze lizwe izinkuni / ukuqeda," esho. "Ikhabethe lishibilika kanjani, ukujiya kanye nekhwalithi yensimbi, ukuthwala amabhola, ukunwetshwa okugcwele, njll."

U-Stewart we-BDI ucabanga ukuthi ama-RSA akufanele asheshe kakhulu. Kunzima ukwazi ukuthi ukuphi uhlaka lwereferensi yekhasimende.

“Ukukhombisa izici kubalulekile, kodwa ungagxili nje ezinsimbini namakhwela,” esho. “Ubuchwepheshe sebushintshile, nobunjiniyela befenisha yasemahhovisi sebuthuthukile nakho. Ukuthenga ifenisha yasehhovisi akuyona into eyenziwa umuntu nsuku zonke, ngakho ngeke wazi ukuthi yiluphi uhlelo olushintshayo noma ukuthi luyini uhlaka lwereferensi.

"Zimbalwa izici 'ezijwayelekile' efenisha yasehhovisi lasekhaya," kusho uStewart. “Izimakethe eziningi azikaphothulwa amadeski ajwayelekile angahlangani nobuchwepheshe banamuhla. Ngakho okulindelwe ngabathengi kuphansi ngokumangalisayo. Uma sigqamisa izici zedeski le-BDI, abathengi bavame ukumangala ukubona intuthuko eyenzekile esigabeni.”

Imigomo ebalulekile

“Yize igama elithi 'ergonomics' lisetshenziswa kakhulu, kuyinto ebalulekile ebhekwe ngabathengi, ikakhulukazi efenisha yasehhovisi nasezihlalweni zabo,” kusho uStewart. "Ukukhombisa ukuthi isihlalo sizokunikeza kanjani ukwesekwa kwe-lumbar futhi silungiseka ukuze sinikeze induduzo yosuku lonke kuzobaluleka."

E-Martin, kugxilwe kakhulu mayelana nokwakhiwa.

“Ukuqoqwa okuphelele ngokumelene ne-KD (ukushaya phansi) noma i-RTA (elungele ukuhlangana) kungenza umehluko omkhulu efenisha yasehhovisi,” kusho u-Dee Maas, iphini likamongameli omkhulu likaMartin kwezokudayisa. “Iningi lalokhu esikwakhayo kuhlanganiswe ngokugcwele. Ifenisha yokhuni ehlanganiswe ngokugcwele iyohlala isikhathi eside ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

“Imininingwane yokhuni nehardware nayo ibalulekile ukuthi sabelane ngayo nekhasimende. Ukwazi amagama afana nokuhlikihlwa ngesandla, ukuhlikihlwa, ukucindezeleka, ukuxubha ucingo, ukuqeda izinyathelo eziningi kanye nokukwazi ukuchaza ukuthi amagama asho ukuthini kuzonikeza i-RSA amathuluzi abalulekile azobasiza ukuba bavale ukuthengisa,” kuphawula yena.

I-Maas futhi icabanga ukuthi abahlanganyeli bezokuthengisa kufanele baqaphele lapho umkhiqizo wenziwa khona, ikakhulukazi uma ungowasekhaya noma ungeniswe usuka phesheya kwezilwandle.

"Igama elithi 'ngenisa' lingasetshenziswa kunoma yiliphi izwe lase-Asia okungenzeka ukuthi likhona, kodwa abanye abathengi bangase bafune ukucindezela i-RSA ukuze babone ukuthi i-Asia isho iChina yini."

Yakha ocwaningweni lwabo

“Abathengi banolwazi oluningi ezandleni zabo, futhi kungenzeka bachithe isikhathi becwaninga ku-inthanethi ukuze bathole ukuthi yini abayidingayo ngaphambi kokuya esitolo,” kusho uMaas.

“I-RSA idinga ukuba nolwazi ngomkhiqizo ewudayisayo ukuze ibonise inani abangalengeza ekuthengiseni ngokuveza imininingwane okungenzeka ukuthi umthengi wayiphuthelwa ocwaningweni lwabo.

“Ngeke ngisho ukuthi kunzima ukufundisa ikhasimende, kodwa kudinga ukutshalwa kwezimali olwazini lomkhiqizo.”

Kwa-BDI, uStewart waphawula ukuthi ama-RSA namuhla abhekene nekhasimende elinolwazi futhi elifunde kakhulu. “Abathengi bavamise ukwazi okuningi ngomkhiqizo abawufunayo ngaphambi kokuthi bangene endaweni yokudayisa,” kusho yena. "Benze ucwaningo lwabo, bafunda ngezici, baqhathanisa nemikhiqizo futhi bavame ukuba nomuzwa wezindleko zizonke."

Bonisa futhi utshele

Ngalokho, ukubonisa ukuthi umkhiqizo usebenza kanjani kusabalulekile.

“Abathengi benza ucwaningo oluningi bebodwa futhi bazi ukuthi ziyini izidingo zabo,” kusho uWilley. “Ngakho-ke, imikhiqizo yamahhovisi asekhaya idinga ukukhonjiswa kahle futhi isebenze esitezi sezitolo futhi abadayisi bezitolo abasebenzisana nabo kufanele bajwayelane nezici nezinzuzo zocezu ngalunye. Isibonelo, iningi lamabhokisi ethu ezincwadi kanye namaqembu odonga lomtapo wezincwadi afaka ukukhanya kwe-LED touch; lokhu kufanele kuboniswe ukuze kubongwe.”

I-BDI iyavuma, futhi uStewart waphawula ukuthi kubalulekile ukukhombisa umkhiqizo ngendlela ongasethwa ngayo ekhaya.

“Yenza umthengi asebenzisane nekhiphedi yenkumbulo futhi azenzele esakhe isilungiselelo,” kusho uStewart. “Mcele ukuthi avule i-keyboard storage draw ukuze ezwe ulayini abone nezimbobo zezintambo. Bavumele bazwe ukunyakaza kwekhabethe elithambile eliseduze noma basuse iphaneli yokufinyelela kalula. Bavumele bahlale esihlalweni sehhovisi futhi bahlole izilungiselelo ezihlukahlukene. Ukuthola izandla zomthengi kulezi zici kubalulekile.

“Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi abathengisi ehhovisi bakhombise ngendlela okumele basetshenziswe ngayo,” usho kanje. “Faka amafolda efayela emakhabetheni okugcwalisa, thola ama-notepad ajabulisayo ekhabetheni elingenalutho, tshala imali kwezinye izincwadi noma ama-computer ukuze ugcwalise izikhala zedeski, uqinisekise ukuthi izintambo zihlanzekile futhi zihlelekile. Vumela amakhasimende abe nombono wangempela wempilo yokuthi ifenisha ihloselwe ukusebenza kanjani. Ukufaka amandla esibukweni sesitolo kuyinto engcono kakhulu umuntu angayenza.”

Sekukonke, ama-RSA adinga ukwazi ukuthi isigaba sibalulekile.

"Izinkampani eziningi ziya ngokuya zithola umsebenzi ngamasu asekhaya futhi zizoqhubeka nokubona abasebenzi bazo bethuthela endaweni exubile yokusebenza ngaphakathi nangaphandle kobhubhane lwamahhovisi," kusho uStewart. “Amamodeli amasha okwakha angeza ihhovisi lasekhaya ezinhlelweni zaphansi okuzonyusa isidingo sefenisha yamahhovisi asekhaya. Ama-RSA kufanele aqonde ukuthi lesi yisigaba esibalulekile futhi asebenzise ithuba ukusiza amakhasimende awo ukuthi athole isisombululo esifanele samahhovisi asekhaya.”
