What are automated blinds?

Automated blinds, which are sometimes called smart blinds, are window dressings operated by a motor within a roller mechanism. The motor can be wired, battery, or even solar-powered. A switch or remote control can be used to adjust the blinds. The newest automated blinds can be wired into home automation systems and operated by Amazon Alexa or Google Home using voice controls. 

Remote controls allow users to operate their automated blinds more easily, adjusting lighting levels, glare, and privacy to suit their needs and preferences. Some blinds can even be operated through mobile phone apps. Apps allow users to improve their security by controlling blinds remotely or using timers.

Electric blinds can improve your life in a variety of ways, from being more convenient to offer increased security. Keep reading to learn the biggest benefits of automated blinds.

Convenience

Most people who choose automated blinds Lincoln, Grimsby, and Cleethorpes do so due to the convenience factor. This is often the biggest reason for installing electric blinds in a home or business premises. Choosing motorised blinds lets you operate your blinds with the touch of a button, either at home or remotely. You can use a remote or smart device to open and close all of your electric blinds, or even schedule them to operate automatically throughout the day.

Automated blinds are particularly useful for properties which have lots of windows or windows which are difficult to access. They can take the strain out of the task of opening and closing them repeatedly. Your remote or smart device will do the job for you, making life so much easier.

Ideal for those with low mobility 

Since automated blinds offer you the convenience of operating your blinds from wherever you are, they’re particularly suitable for elderly people or those with low mobility. So, if you or someone you know finds it difficult to get up and open or close their curtains or blinds, it’s worth considering a motorised option. With the quick push of a button, the blinds will operate to meet your needs whenever required. You can control light and privacy wherever you are in your home, improving the quality of your life.

Security 

Automated blinds offer much more than just convenience. They can also enhance your home’s security too. Motorising your blinds allow you to make your property appear occupied, making burglaries much less likely. The opening and closing of your blinds regularly will deter intruders who will think that someone is at home. When you’re away from home, you can place your automated blinds on a timer. Or you can even simply adjust their position occasionally using a smart device. Safeguard the security of your home with automated blinds.

Safety

One of the lesser recognised advantages of automated blinds is safety. However, it’s an important one. Motorised blinds are cordless, which makes them a lot safer than some other blind types. The cords used to operate more traditional blinds can be hazardous to young children and pets, potentially causing choking and strangling in some cases. At Humberside Sunblinds, we sell electric blinds in Cleethorpes, 

Grimsby, and Lincoln which are cord and chain-free. This makes them a safe solution for all members of your household, including your four-legged friends.

With so many styles, designs, and colours to choose from, it’s easy to select blinds which suit your tastes and integrate perfectly with your existing décor.
