About Electric Blinds
Compatible with smart home solutions, remotely managed electric shades are perfect for those who want to control the environment when home and away (there is a reason some people call such shades simply remote blinds for windows and doors). Thus, it contributes not only to a more functional but also a more secure and resource-efficient home.
How is that so? With automated solutions and some smart sensors, you can easily program motorised shades to adjust based on the time of day, weather conditions, or even occupancy patterns. Modern fabrics and automation allow for effective management of heat and insulation – keeping the heat out during summer and the warmth in during cold winter days. Thus, it contributes significantly to improved energy efficiency.
Motorised window treatments provide a level of convenience that traditional or so-called manual ones simply cannot match. Let alone the solutions for hard-to-reach and non-standard windows, doors and other openings – automated shades can be customised to fit and operate flawlessly on non-standard window shapes, sizes, and configurations.
We have plenty to offer regarding one of the most popular window treatments – blinds. Let's delve into the essential aspects of each popular automatic blind solution (you can find these and more in our assortment).
