Expand Your Client’s Living Space with Electric Blinds

The demand for smart homes is growing at an unprecedented rate. American Home Shield reports that 46% of consumers feel it’s important that their present or next home is equipped with smart home technology. Designers, builders, and architects are answering this strong demand by integrating smart home features into their projects, working with home technology experts from the consulting phase and prewiring to continued service long after the home is complete.

One of the popular home automation solutions in Kennebunk and southern Maine is electric blinds and motorized shades. Let’s look at why homeowners are turning to this smart home feature and what it offers professionals in the field.

Extend the Living Space

The season is fast approaching when we leave our overcoats behind and enjoy our outdoor areas. Homeowners revel in the idea of having a space where friends and family can gather for good conversation, a shared meal, and a movie night. During the spring and summer months, creating an entertainment space where you can also enjoy the beautiful outdoors is ideal.

With the right electric blinds and shades, you can create a welcoming entertaining space that creates a shield against direct sunlight while still allowing for diffused natural light and breathtaking views. Electric blinds are ideal for decks and patios as well as interior windows and can be raised or lowered with the touch of a button.

Keep the Bugs Out

Unfortunately, with the beauty of the coming seasons come some of Maine’s pesky little black flies and mosquitos. Fortunately, there is an easy solution—a way to keep enjoying the beauty of our outdoor spaces while limiting any insect invasions.

Motorized retractable insect screens are remotely controlled and expand the home’s footprint. They’re ideal for patios and blend seamlessly with a home's outdoor décor. The full view of the beautiful outdoors is maintained, and some even offer solar screen fabric that blocks the sun’s glare and heat while preserving the view.

Smart Home Integration

When you integrate electric blinds and motorized window treatments with smart home automation, homeowners can effortlessly control all their home systems. One-touch on a touchscreen, tablet, or remote will open and close as well as raise and lower blinds, shades, and screens.

When integrated with landscape and outdoor lighting, a homeowner experiences effortless control and the perfect balance of natural and artificial light. The blinds can adjust throughout the day, letting in the beauty of the sun's rays while limiting the direct harmful UV rays that damage outdoor furniture. Add outdoor TV and audio for entertainment, and you can bring all the comforts of your smart home outside.
