FROM SIMPLE ROLLER BLINDS TO WHOLE HOME SOLUTIONS, BLINDS HAVE COME A LONG WAY

Now whole home solutions are being introduced offering the ultimate in lighting control and integrated blinds and shades. Such sophisticated solutions might not be on every home owner’s agenda, but they do signal latest advancements in technology that allow interior designers and the enthusiastic DIY home owner exciting glimpses into the newest concepts in interior furbishments.

Near-silent daylight management together with energy savings through the reduction of solar heat gain does not mean a sacrifice on colour or choice of blinds solution either. Most technologists fully appreciate that home owners and businesses will still want to exercise their right to select the colour and fabric of their choice, so advanced solutions are available in a wide range of colourways and fabrics, woods, sheers and linings.

Wired and wireless technology and iPad apps are responsible for leading the new revolution in soft furnishings.

These enable the home owner to operate window coverings via a wireless RF (radio frequency) technology and the ability to dim lights.  Keypads are now used for so much more than just setting the house alarm, they can be installed to allow users to control the whole home control solution easily.  From such a system the user can control the heating, lighting and air-conditioning throughout the entire house, from a single location.

Similar systems exist for meeting and conference control.

Shades can be controlled from either a wire-free handheld or wall mounted control from anywhere in the room and can now be controlled using an iPhone app.  Roman shades with cord eliminating safety technology  allows for a more reliable, smoother and almost silent blind movement while also improving the safety aspect of the mechanism, particularly where children are concerned.

Such advances in technology show that Blinds technology has come a long way.
