Why should I invest in motorised blinds and shutters?

There are a number of benefits for having motorised window solutions in your home. Automated blinds, shutters, awnings and more can offer you…

1. Safety and security

You can program motorised blinds to open and close at specific times, making it appear as if someone is home. This feature may deter potential home intruders who are looking for an empty house. Plus, there’s no need for the cords or chains found on traditional blinds, so you can rest assured that your children and pets won’t get tangled or injured by them.

2. Convenience

This one is a no-brainer – blinds and shutters that you can control from the comfort of your sofa make life so much easier! Operating one or more blinds with the touch of a button means there’s no stretching or straining to reach cords or wands, and they can also be set to automatically open, close or adjust with timers or sensors.

This feature is especially important for large windows or hard-to-reach areas, making it easy to adjust the blinds without having to climb on a chair or stool. What’s more, you can operate multiple blinds at once.

3. Protection and comfort

Having motorised blinds and shutters doesn’t just mean you can open and close them with a remote. There are a number of options available that include timers and sensors to operate the blinds in a smarter way. When a particular area is receiving too much light, they can be programmed to automatically adjust, helping to protect things like plants and sun-bleached furniture. In addition to protecting other items of furniture in your home, using motors to physically operate the blinds reduces wear and tear caused by users and therefore extends the life of the product itself.

4. Motorised blinds can save on your energy bills

Reduce the amount of energy used in your home by using motorised blinds to regulate the amount of sunlight entering a room. By programming the blinds to open and close during specific times of the day, you can reduce the amount of energy required to cool or heat a room. Keep things cooler in the summer with automated shading, or close the blinds to keep warm air inside in the winter, meaning you don’t have to keep the heating on as often.

5. Integration with Smart Home Systems

Motorised blinds can be easily integrated into smart home systems such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa. This feature allows you to control the blinds using voice commands, making it easier to control the amount of light in a room without having to use a remote control or a smart device.
