09.07.2021 Tips for your home by Somfy Hong Kong CONSIDER AUTOMATED VENETIAN BLINDS Venetian blinds add a decorative touch to all styles of home, from contemporary to traditional, with a unique spirit of design. These blinds allow you to play with light and adjust it with precision. In this article, we'll take a closer look at automated Venetian blinds to help you when considering them for your home. The Basics Before technology advanced and improved, everyone had the same style of blind: the corded kind that needed to be manually pulled to be adjusted. Automated blinds, however, come in a variety of styles, with different types of blinds being available for different homes. Materials As with manual Venetian blinds, there are a variety of options available, with different types of materials being created for the various rooms in your home. In your kitchen, for example, you will find that the automated Venetian blinds will be made of moisture-resistant material, for protection as they are exposed to steam and humidity. Motors Not only are there different styles available, but there are also different motors available for automated blinds. One of the most popular options on the market is the battery-powered motor, favoured for its simplicity and ease of installation. Alternatively, Somfy offer hardwired motors, which connect to power and operate using electricity. No matter what your preference and situation, Somfy has a motor that will fit your needs. Benefits Automated blinds have advantages that lie beyond their ability to be customised. They can be controlled via a remote, using voice control, or even when away from home using the Connexoon Window RTS app on your smartphone. Being controlled remotely also allows you to set a schedule. You can choose to have them open and close at certain times every day, or you can attach a sensor which will allow them to adapt to the outside environment and change accordingly. Alongside that, the automated blinds have another fantastic feature: they are cordless. No more messy wires and cords, which also makes them safer and more family friendly than manual blinds. blog.post.go_further blog.post.categories.title Tips for your home Please accept cookies to leave a comment Accept cookies Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
