Benefits of motorised roller blinds
It was a joyous day at the Coverings Sunshine Coast Showroom when Will discovered a new game changing blind option: motorised roller blinds! He loves a good remote control, and when you combine this with coverings that look luxurious and stylish with electronic enhancement… well, you can imagine the excitement.
What are motorised roller blinds?
Motorised roller blinds can be installed as an interior or exterior window covering. The blinds open and close via a motor and remote control system. This remote control system is very versatile, and can be operated in a variety of ways via:
a simple handheld system
a fixed wall control panel
remotely through your smart device and / or
on an entirely automated system.
Not only are motorised roller blinds an affordable luxury, they help provide privacy as well as UV, light and heat protection for your indoor areas or outdoors spaces. But the benefits don’t stop there.
Child and pet safe
With motorised blinds, hanging cords, strings and chains are completely removed from the window covering system. This makes them both child-safe and pet-friendly, and an excellent reason to install! Through the removal of choking and strangling hazards, as well as the temptation to chew and pull, motorised blinds give complete peace of mind to mums and dads of both the furry and human kind of baby.
Ideal for hard to reach areas
On the Sunshine Coast, we like to make full use of those amazing views, which often means we have windows in awkward, hard to reach areas. Motorised blinds eliminate the need for long hanging cords or unsightly metal poles, and make adjusting those high or awkwardly placed blinds as simple as the touch of a button.
Energy efficient
Both indoor and outdoor blinds help to regulate temperatures within the home. Motorised blinds can help your house or office remain cool by keeping the ambient heat of summer out. Conversely, they can leverage the heat of the sun to warm your home as efficiently as possible in winter. Ensuring your blinds are working for you will maximise your energy bill savings and best of all, once they’re automated, you don’t even have to think about it, they just roll out when needed.
UV protection
Maintaining protection from harmful and destructive UV rays is something of a sport here in Queensland, and not just for our skin. Both indoor and outdoor areas need protection. Outdoor furniture perishes quickly when exposed to repeated full sun, and even indoor furnishings and carpet exposed to UV light will deteriorate if not protected. Motorised and automated window coverings help extend the life of your assets, not to mention your health.
Security
Motorised blinds are modern and convenient, and when utilised as an automated system, are excellent for security. Through automating the movement of blinds up and down, for example when it becomes dark at night, the illusion that there’s someone home even when you’re out, brings an added level of protection to your property. Assuring your privacy when you are at home, especially in densely populated areas, is another added benefit.
Convenience (or the Will Factor)
Now, we’re not saying Will is lazy… but once you’re comfortable, if you didn’t have to get up to close the blinds, that would be pretty awesome, right? For sheer convenience, automating a repetitive task that is key to your home comfort is amazing; you wonder how you ever did it the old way. Opening and closing blinds with the touch of a button (especially if you’re not even home), is one of those truly revolutionary comforts.
