Curtains used to be the conventional window coverings because of their simplicity in appearance, ease of use and pocket-friendly prices. However, with time, homeowners began shifting towards the use of window blinds for their windows when they discovered that blinds were better at blocking out light and offering more privacy.

Nowadays, we have electric window blinds, which are much more convenient than manual blinds. Motorized blinds are a good investment if you can have them installed in your home, they are safe, energy-efficient, easy to use and in the long run, you would be getting the value for your money. Here are 6 reasons why electric blinds are becoming so popular:

1. They Are Energy Efficient

Motorized blinds will save you a lot of money on energy bills because they help to conserve energy. Motorized blinds are excellent insulators (prevent heat loss) and they help regulate the amount of light entering your home. The interesting part is that you can automate your blinds to open and close at different times of the day, depending on the heat level.

2. They offer additional security.

If you have windows high up in your house, you can easily open or close them with a remote without risking any accidents that may occur while climbing to adjust the blinds.

3. Safety

Since motorized blinds can be automated to close and open at any time of the day, they can serve as a deterrent to burglars because it would appear as if you were at home, even if you aren’t. Electric blinds are also beneficial to your health because they can block UV light from the sun.

4. Variety Of Styles

Motorized blinds also come in various styles, colours and patterns. You can also choose between the ones that are controlled wirelessly or with switches. This means you are never out of options for a style that would complement the look of your home. Some electric blinds even come with applications that are specifically designed for the control of the blinds.

5.They increase home value

When potential buyers are looking for new properties, the ones with electric blinds are usually rated as high value and they are likely to attract buyers.

6. Ease of use

Motorized blinds are easy to install and easy to use because they require little technical know-how to operate them. Most motorized blinds run on home batteries that can be easily replaced, so you may not need an electrical connection to make them work.
