Why upgrade to Motorized Blinds and Shades

The Benefits of Motorized Blinds


Modern home interior decorators are increasingly opting for window covering systems which are automated and do not need manual operations.  Safety, comfort and energy efficiency are the core aspects of modern interior decoration. Motorized blinds cater to all these requirements and are hence a preferred window covering method used in modern homes.

Motorized shades are very comfortable to use.  They are operated by an electric motor and can be opened and closed using a remote control.  While traditional blinds have unwieldy cords and cables which are to be pulled for opening and closing the blinds manually, motorized blinds can be operated at the touch of a button on a remote control. Absence of cords and cables make motorized blinds appear neat and tidy.

Blinds are needed to control natural lighting in the room and also to block harsh sunlight and UV radiation. Unlike traditional blinds where you have to go near the window to adjust the light and sun, motorized blinds you can do it sitting in the comfort of a sofa, while reading a book.  You can also adjust the sun glare for watching TV without leaving your seat.  Motorized blinds can thus save your time and energy as they can be operated with a remote control even from a distance up to 50 meters.

Traditional blinds have ropes and cords and children and pets have a tendency to play with them and get entangled.  Motorized roller shades are hence much safer in houses with children and pets. 

Motorized blinds are very easy to install.  Most of these blinds come with a do it yourself kit.  You can mount them following the instruction given with the kit.  Most of them have wireless remote control and hence you may not need to fiddle with the wires.  Since you do not manually fiddle with the blinds, they do not get dirty easily and last longer than traditional blinds.
Motorized blinds help you to save a lot of time and add to your comfort.  If you install them, you would have more time and energy to spend with your children and family.
