Beep! Beep! Beep! That’s the sound of your 6:15 am alarm telling you it’s time to get up. Bleary-eyed, you stumble out of bed and fumble for your blind cord, to let the morning light in. You finally locate the cord and being to tug, eventually lifting the blind to take in the beautiful day outside, which you ignore, turning to go make some coffee. So many of our mornings begin this way, but what if they didn’t have to? What if you could wake up to the sun naturally, laying in bed to take in the day before getting out of bed feeling calm and relaxed, ready for the day ahead. The only thing standing between you and a blissful morning is motorized window blinds.
Here are 7 benefits of motorized window blinds that will leave you wondering why you didn’t make the switch sooner.
What Are Motorized Window Blinds?
Motorized window blinds bring the best climate and privacy-controlling aspects of your home into the 21st century. They use modern technology to allow you to control your window blinds with a remote, your voice, or an app.
Motorized window blinds eliminate the need for you to manually control your blinds, making them highly accessible for all users. You can control them from your bed, your couch, or even away from home at your office or on holiday.
No longer do you need to get frustrated constantly opening and closing your blinds all day as the temperature outside changes, or struggling to pull hard-to-reach cords that are an eyesore to your home.
Motorized blinds allow you to increase the value of your home while making it a more enjoyable place to live.
7 Benefits
Durability
Motorized window blinds last 50% longer than their manual counterparts. Their motors are quieter than ever, with the motor hidden out of sight and out of mind. The motor puts consistent and gentle tension on the blind each time it operates, reducing the typical wear and tear that comes with manual blinds due to inconsistent tugging each time you raise and lower the blind.
Convenience and Accessibility
Set your bedroom shades with home automation applications from your phone or tablet, so your blinds will open whenever your alarm goes off in the morning – or better yet, instead of your alarm!
What’s more, you can use your remote, or voice control your motorized blinds. Manually adjusting hard-to-reach blinds can be difficult in awkward areas of your home. Motorized window blinds make controlling your blinds as easy as pressing a button, or saying “Hey [smart device], open blinds”.
Child Safety
Motorized window blinds remove the need to handle your blinds. Without cords, window treatments are both beautiful and safe. The worry about children or pets getting tangled in blind cords will be gone. Motorized window blinds remove the need for cords, offering the ultimate in safety and aesthetics.
Accessibility
Motorized solar shades for large windows are the answer to your high ceilings and skylights, where installing traditional blinds can be a challenge. Motorized window blinds are a simple solution for high windows, skylights, and other hard-to-reach places. Cords don’t hang down from strange places, or trail in an unsightly way around the walls, and you can control them with ease.
Better Energy Efficiency
Motorized window blinds provide a solid return on investment over time thanks to their durability and the increased energy efficiency they provide to your home. It doesn’t take long for natural light outside to change the temperature inside your home.
