Join the jet set and enjoy the benefits of motorised blinds
The benefits of having motorised blinds in your home
Motorised blinds are something we often associate with the jet set, a premium product boasting the sort of technology seen in the homes of the rich and famous. This luxe home furnishing is in fact well within reach, Norwich Sunblinds offer a range of affordable motorisation options for blinds and curtains.
We often think of the stylish look but there is much more to motorisation than meets the eye. The other benefits to having motorised blinds and curtains, which include green living and safety aspects, might surprise you. We increasingly use technology in our homes, from voice-controlled devices to smart thermostats. It’s easy to see why motorised blinds and curtains (also known as electric blinds and curtains) are growing in popularity.
1 – Easy to use
The smart home is revolutionising the way we live, with the convenience to control everything from our mobiles or with a voice command. At the touch of a button, you can also close your curtains or adjust your blinds.
Your remote can control up to 5 blinds in one go. With a convenient pre-set button you can even set them on a timer. A lengthy battery life means that you could have up to 12 months usage before you need to recharge.

2 – Enjoy films on a sunny day!
Remember life before the TV remote control? Now we can’t do without it. Likewise, in the future we will probably look back and say, I can’t believe we ever opened our curtains and blinds. Motorisation will be integral to our homes and we will take the benefits for granted.
Might seem like a small thing but a major benefit is being able to adjust your blinds or curtains without leaving the sofa. On a sunny day, having to repeatedly get up to tweak your blinds or curtains to stop the light flooding across the TV screen ranks high on the irritation scale. With motorisation, you can adjust your blinds and curtains easily – from the sofa or your bed or even when you are luxuriating in a bath. You can also keep draughts at bay at the touch of a button, ensuring that you stay cosy.

You can programme your blinds or curtains to automatically close at night to look as if you are at home when you are really out for dinner or on holiday. You can also increase your privacy at the push of a button.
