As we try to reduce our carbon footprints here in New Zealand, it has never been more important to be environmentally aware and environmentally responsible.
We do like to make changes throughout our homes and businesses but now we need to think a little bit more about our purchases and consider Mother Nature before we hand over our money.
It seems that our utility bills are going up year-on-year and so this is an area that many New Zealanders need to address. One way to do that is to make sure that your home is more energy efficient and we all want to live in a comfortable house.
This is why people are investing in motorised blinds for New Zealand homes and they are really helping to make a real difference.
They help to control the temperature so that rooms remain comfortable to sit in and the fact that you can open and close them at the push of a button or at specific times makes your whole home more energy efficient.
If motorised blinds are quite new to you then the following are just some of the benefits that they offer.
- They are easy to use – We all want simplicity when it comes to operating any new appliance in our homes and these blinds are no exception. Due to the fact that we can now use automation, the blinds can be set to open and close at particular times of the day so that you don’t have to keep doing it manually. You can set a schedule based on time or you can also base it on temperature on the outside using various apps that are currently at your disposal. All you need is a smartphone in your hand and you can control it.
- They are safer for kids – There have been incidents documented of children hanging themselves due to the cords that come with traditional blinds in homes all across Australia and indeed the world. Every parent needs peace of mind and so these motorised blinds give you that very thing because there are no cords needed.
- They are incredibly energy efficient – In order to keep your home at the right temperature, you need to be able to control the amount of sunlight that comes into your property. You can leave them open during the daytime so that you can enjoy all of the natural light and so you don’t have to switch on any lights within your property. You will notice a change to your utility bills once these are installed and so they will help to pay for themselves over a period of time.
As well as the above three benefits, being able to program your motorised blinds to operate at certain times can give the impression that there is someone inside the property and that helps to deter opportunist burglars who may be looking at your home.
It makes perfect sense then that you would want to invest your hard-earned cash into something like this.
