You claim to have a smartphone. You also use a smartwatch to track your health and fitness. Yes, indeed. We continue to believe that you are not completely utilizing technological advancements. Why?
Have you installed automated blinds in Calgary? If not, then you are definitely missing out on the latest fashion. Not just on a trend, but also on the wide array of benefits it comes with.
WHAT ARE AUTOMATED BLINDS?
Automated blinds are a type of customized window blinds. These window blinds are operated by a motor that is fitted inside. Hence, they are also known as Motorized blinds.
Automated blinds in Calgary give you the freedom to operate your window blinds from anywhere. Yes. Literally.
You can be in the house in a different room, or you can be in a different corner of the city. And your window blinds can close and open automatically.
HOW DO AUTOMATED BLINDS WORK?
A motor fitted inside (the headrail, usually) operates automated blinds. You can switch a button on the remote control, and your window blinds will come down or roll up. You can also connect the motor sensor to an application on your phone. The application allows you to set timers for opening or closing your window blinds depending upon the time of the day. You have an additional option of pairing them with your AI voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, or Google. Just one command to your virtual assistant and your blinds close down shutting away your room view from the public.
Some automated blinds work with the help of sensors. These sensors detect the temperature outside and accordingly open or close the blinds to provide efficient insulation to your room.
HOW DO YOU POWER AUTOMATIC BLINDS?
Now, the question is: how is the motor powered?
Most motors of automated blinds in Calgary are battery-controlled. These batteries may be chargeable or replaceable.
It is a nuisance to change batteries once their lifespan is over. Hence, choosing batteries that can be charged by plugging in is a convenient option.
Some blind manufacturers automate their blinds by a DC power adaptor or hardwiring. But they destroy the visual appeal and require a central power connection. Moreover, the wires are spread out over a large area making them a potential hazard for children, pets, and any living being in general.
You can also choose from automated blinds that are solar-powered. But this is convenient for homeowners and office owners who have a south or west-facing windows. Only then will the motor be able to receive enough sunlight to function. Even then, there is an issue. During the winter and monsoon seasons, the motors will not be exposed to sufficient light. You will face this trouble even on cloudy days.
Our take? Select battery-fuelled automatic blinds. Or, mix the combination of solar power and battery power. Yes. This is possible. Use solar-powered motorized blinds. Keep a provision of battery insertion. So, on days inconducive to sufficient sunlight exposure, you can operate your blinds using a battery. This way you save both on energy as well as any inconvenience.
HOW LONG DO MOTORIZED BLINDS LAST?
Motorized blinds last as long as a manual blind last. You may or may not have to repair or change the motor after 5 or 7 years.
If you are talking about how long the battery will last, then, it’s variable. The lifespan of your battery depends upon three factors:
- Size of your window blinds
- Weight of your window blinds
- Number of times you open or close the blinds every day
Among the replaceable batteries, lithium batteries last longer than traditional alkaline batteries.
CAN YOU AUTOMATE EXISTING BLINDS?
Yes. You can automate your existing window blinds. Call our professionals to book an appointment for automating your existing blinds.
P.S. If you wanted to know this piece of information to tally your future options, let us break the truth to you. Buy automated blinds if you want to use them. Don’t buy manually operated blinds now so that you can automate them later when you can spend more. Automating existing window blinds is costlier than automated blinds themselves.
ARE AUTOMATED BLINDS WORTH IT?
Imagine having to get up on a step ladder every time you want to open or close the blinds on your skylight windows. Or, going to every room to open the blinds during the daytime while you are working from home. Doesn’t sound so great anymore, does it?
Automated blinds in Calgary save you the hassle and free up your time.
If you are a frequent traveller, you are well aware that your house is not safe. To make your presence felt, and reduce risks of theft or burglary, these blinds come in handy. Set the timer on the app and your blinds will automatically open and close at different hours of the day. All of this even when you are miles or continents away.
Every evening when you come home from the office, your room feels stuffy. You can either open your blinds and face the wrath of the freezing winds. You have to turn on the heater now. Or, you have to switch on your air-conditioner. Either way, you have to switch on another electronic device and watch your bills soar.
With automated blinds with effective temperature sensors, you can reduce your power consumption. Sounds strange? Not really. Even when you are outside, the blinds will open or close automatically by the temperature sensors. So, you can enjoy the benefit of maximum insulation and proper ventilation.
Automated blinds even last longer than regular blinds. With the motorization technique, there is no tugging, pulling, or pushing. This makes them last longer.
The upside? The motor that operates these blinds works very quietly. You can only hear a buzzing or a whirring sound every time the blind closes up or down.
