If you’re considering upgrading your window treatments or you have just moved into a new home here’s everything you need to know about motorised blinds and why they’re worth the investment.

In this blog we will share some of the benefits and features that blind automation and motorised blinds have to offer to help you consider whether they are the right option for you.

What Are Motorised Blinds?

Motorised blinds are window treatments equipped with a small motor that allows you to raise, lower or tilt them using a remote control, smartphone app or even voice commands. They come in a variety of styles including roller blinds, roman blinds, and venetian blinds making it easy to find a suitable design that enhances your home.

Imagine adjusting your blinds without leaving your armchair. With motorised blinds you can control your window coverings with the touch of a button or a simple voice command integrating seamlessly with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.  This can be especially useful if you or someone else has mobility issues as the blinds can be easily controlled without the need to move from the comfort of an armchair or bed.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Motorised blinds can be programmed to open and close based on the time of day or temperature. For example, they can close during the hottest part of the day to keep your home or office cool or open to let in natural light during winter lowering your heat control expenses.
