Six Benefits of Motorized Blinds In Your Home

Smart blinds are taking the world of home design by storm and these electric or motorized shades are surprisingly durable and easy to maintain. They are a beautiful addition for modern homes and can be custom fitted and designed to your liking. 

Here are 5 benefits that electric blinds will bring to your home.

CONVENIENCE

There are many perks of having electric blinds, but nothing beats the comfort and convenience of having it automated - it easily takes away the repetitive and oftentimes, hard to reach task of window treatments at the very ease of your fingertips.

In recent years, the advances made by motorized blinds have become even smarter and more intuitive. You can now remotely control capabilities of your shades by sensor, on-command, or on schedule. Automatic blinds can be integrated with built-in light sensors, built-in motion sensors, or virtual assistance like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. 

So if you happen to be caught up in a different room or find yourself stuck with a napping baby in your arms, you can comfortably operate your electric shades with any smart device, remote control, or by voice command. You will appreciate the ease and safety of even allowing your older kids to operate the push-button controls without having to use any cords. Motorized blinds are an ideal option for windows that have no direct access to the shades, such as behind a couch. 

Take control of your blinds, anytime and anywhere. The convenience factor alone makes automatic blinds a worthy investment. 

SAVE ON YOUR ENERGY BILL

Motorized window blinds can you reduce your monthly utility bills by sensing and utilizing the sun’s natural light and heat and adjusting accordingly. You can automate blinds to sense the amount of sun coming into a room as well as the temperature of the room. This would then que the smart blinds to raise or lower as needed, which eliminates the need for over lighting with electricity and leverages the sun’s heat to warm up your home. 

Boost your home’s energy efficiency by setting your blinds to open and close at certain times of the day to let in as much natural light as possible. Smart blinds will automate the entire process so insulation and light control is always set to maximize your home’s energy use.

SAFETY FOR CHILDREN AND PETS

Children and window cords do not mix. As a parent, you’ve probably heard the dangers and risks of window blind cords to babies and small children. They seem harmless, but in mere moments can become a strangulation hazard to your loved ones. Cords can suffocate children when they get entangled in them, particularly those featuring a loop. In fact, over the span of 26 years, there were more than 17,000 children who were hospitalized for injuries related to window blinds. 

Don’t take any risks with window cords. This is especially something you want to consider with older window coverings that probably do not meet the recent national standards for window covering cord safety. Motorized blinds offer cordless design that can give you a peace of mind knowing your children and pets are safe from the hazards of window cords. That’s why it makes smart blinds the safest choice for parents and pet owners.

SECURITY

With electric blinds, you can now be rest assured that your home is secure even when you’re not there. Whether you’re running errands or out of the country, you can automate your blinds to make it seem like someone is home, even when you’re not. The effect is even more convincing when coupled with a smart home lighting system. Simply automate your smart blinds to close at sunset and activate your light apps to switch on and off at different times through the evening.

So home security is far more than just closing your blinds and preventing passersby from peeking in. Motorized window blinds perform the best job at deterring potential thieves from attacking your home because your home will always look lived in, even when you’re far away. You can automatically set it to certain settings, or you can access your home while you’re on the go as well. 

IMPROVE SLEEP QUALITY

If you have trouble falling asleep or waking up in the morning, installing motorized blinds can help. There are many options of window blinds that come with maximum light blocking opacity, that will keep your bedrooms as dark as it can be. This functions better than your traditional black out curtains because you don’t want to block out the natural sunlight in the morning when you need help getting up. Setting your electric blinds to gradually open in the morning will help you to wake up naturally as the sun rises into your room.
