Homeowners who want to protect their homes from the prying eyes of outsiders opt for motorized window blinds. There are actually a lot of upsides to installing motorized blinds – for starters, they are really easy to clean and maintain.
Smart outdoor blinds can indeed be a better option for your home instead of drapes and curtains. And in fact, you can do much more with them than just open and close. A simple installation of these motorized blinds will give you more than what you initially bargained for.
Here are some of the most attractive advantages you will reap once you switch to smart blinds.
1. The cordless design provides maximum safety for children and pet
Do you want your fancy blinds to entangle your kids or pets? We didn’t think so either. The cords of traditional blinds are a potential safety hazard for children and pets. Since smart blinds are essentially cordless, this ensures parents’ peace of mind. You won’t have to worry about leaving your children alone in a room with cordless blinds. Any rooms that your kids have access to should have motorized blinds.
2. Motorized blinds are energy efficient
You’re probably thinking that motorized blinds will run up your electricity bill. In reality, they can save you a lot of money. First of all, motorized blinds give you a lot of control over the lighting in your home.
In other words, you can keep the blinds open to let in a lot of natural light. This will also help you save electricity – you can keep the light fixtures off in your home off. Also, the smart blinds can be set to open and close at set intervals, thus allowing the maximum amount of natural light to enter. Additionally, this works as a great way to adjust the temperature of your home automatically.
3. These blinds can protect your furniture from discoloration
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause damage to your precious furniture. An automated programming system can set the blinds to open and shut at regular intervals. Thereby, even if you forget to close the blinds, your furniture and decor will stay protected.
4. An added sense of security when you are not at home
Ever felt that wave of panic when you can’t remember whether you closed all the blinds or not? We have. If you want to prevent criminals from scoping out your home when you are away, you should close the blinds when you leave the house. Motorized blinds operate automatically, so they can close at particular times during the day and the night, making it seem like someone is home at all times. This is a really good way to deter robbers and thieves.
5. Helps you sleep better and wake up to natural light
If you need complete darkness to fall asleep and want to wake up to the soft sun rays of the dawn, motorized blinds are for you. You can opt for motorized blinds that have advanced light-blocking options so that your precious bedroom can be as dark as possible when you retire for the night. Similarly, you can set a timer for your blinds to open at a particular time in the morning, allowing you to wake up slowly and naturally, rather than with a jolt. You can also install motorized blinds in your kids’ bedrooms for them to reap the benefits of the same.
6. Custom smart blinds are good for your real estate
If you ever want to sell your property, professionally installed smart blinds can actually attract potential buyers. Since motorized blinds are trending in the global market, buyers will remember your property and keep it in consideration while making their final choice.
7. You don’t have to touch the blinds to operate them
You don’t want to have to get up from reading a book or watching a movie to adjust your blinds. With motorized blinds, you can either set a particular time at which the blinds should close, or use a push-button to close the blinds whenever you want to.
Also, the push button system allows children to close the blinds when their parents are occupied. They won’t get into an accident with the blinds, so that is why it is absolutely safe. Again, if the windows are located in an awkward place that is difficult to reach for you, a push-button option will help.
8. You can integrate the blinds with the existent smart home systems in your residence
A smart home is not just a collection of smart appliances, but an integration of all the devices into a single wholesome system. Motorized window coverings can work in combination with the other smart systems in your household – something that is impossible to do with traditional curtains. Your motorized blinds can collaborate with your lighting systems and your insulation installations to create a wholesome energy-saving system.
9. Effective solutions for bathrooms and bedrooms
It is all fun and games to have a big bathroom and bedroom windows until privacy becomes a concern. Enter motorized blinds. All you need to do is push a button and the enormous windows in your bedrooms and bathrooms will be covered in an instant. You’ll not have to crawl out of bed at the end of a tiring day to draw the curtains- simply press the button from under the covers, and have your blinds cruise to a close.
10. You will be offered a whole range of other controls
There are plenty of fun and attractive controls that can accompany your motorized blinds. For example, you can control the blinds through a wireless switch, or even install an app on your phone that lets you open and close them, set timers, and the like from your mobile device itself. You can also integrate the blinds with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to control your motorized blinds better with your own voice.
