Blinds are a great way to add a sense of style to your interior, where they let you manage light levels without taking up space in your room. They’re available in a wide range of colours and materials to complement your existing decor, where you can choose from wooden, vinyl or synthetic panels.
Technical innovation in the world of blind controls means
that there are now a number of devices you can choose from to adjust your
interior lighting. These range from manual to electric controls, where each
presents its own advantages for your space. Read on to learn more about the
different electric blind controls currently available.
Handheld Remote
A convenient way of operating your domestic blinds is via
remote control. A battery operated remote can be pointed at electric blinds in
order to lower, raise and tilt the panels. This is perfect for adjusting your
light levels without having to leave the sofa.
Wall Switch
A more traditional method of operating electric blinds, a
wall switch can be fitted near to your window space or in a convenient location
near the entrance of a room. Depending on the level of technology, these may
need to be held down to raise or lower your blinds, or a switch can be turned
on to complete a full movement remotely.
Smart Controls
The newest innovation in home technology has been the
development of smart controls, where electric blinds can be adjusted using a
smartphone app. This can allow for precision alterations to your light levels,
by allowing you to rotate your blind panels to a specific degree.
Automation
If your home is kitted out with centralised smart
technology, then you may be able to utilise automated settings to control your
blinds. This involves setting them to raise or lower at a specified time of
day, meaning you don’t even have to think about your blind operations.
Voice Control
Some electric blinds will be equipped with smart technology that
connects to your existing voice operated device, such as a home Siri or Alexa.
Using an additional application or extension, you can simply ask your blinds to
adjust, and they will respond accordingly.
