When you’re renovating your home or office it’s really important to consider updating your blinds, to modernise the overall look and feel and to keep up with technological advances. Upgrading to newer blinds not only enhances your building’s appearance and aesthetics, but also increases the property’s value, which is very appealing to potential buyers or tenants if you are wanting to sell, or rent out your property.
There are many benefits of updating your window coverings, let us explain the main reasons in further detail.
1. Technology Advances – Blind technologies are constantly changing and making our lives so much easier. One major improvement in recent years is Blind Automation. Automated blinds also called Motorised blinds, are a huge benefit bringing you a range of modern conveniences. Blind automation means you operate your blinds via a remote control, voice control, sensor, or smart device. With the touch of a button or your voice, you can control one blind or your entire building. With voice control your blinds can be compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Home and Apple Products.
2. Energy Efficiency – With the costs of electricity the highest it’s been, saving money is so important for us all. As mentioned installing motorised blinds is a great way to save on costs, they open and close to let in light and block light at the set times you choose. Therefore during winter your home/office is kept warm, and during summer kept cooler. We also have available other popular energy efficient blind options including;
- Honeycomb Cellular Blinds – also known as Honeycomb Shades or Cellular Shades, are a fantastic blind option for Ballarat’s hot and cold climate These blinds ensure to keep your home temperatures at a constant. Honeycomb Cellular Blinds consist of layers of fabric that are joined at the pleats to form d-shaped cellular compartments. The compartments look like honeycomb, hence where their name comes from. Light shines through the window and the air is trapped into the cells of the blind allowing it to keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- Dual Blinds Options – are available in our popular roller blind range. Dual roller blinds also commonly called Day/night Blinds or Double Roller Blinds, are a wonderful solution for providing differing light control and privacy, while also keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Dual roller blinds provide the benefits of two roller blinds on the same mechanism. One blind can be a total block out option for added privacy and darkness. You then team the total blockout blind with one of our sunscreen blinds, or light filtering blinds. These options provide shade and light control without blocking your view.
3. Easy Maintenance – Compared to curtains, new window blinds are a great choice if you’re looking for simple and easy maintenance. Most of our blinds can be cleaned using your feather duster or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment, to remove dust and any other particles. Depending on the material you can spot clean, or wipe the surface with a warm, damp cloth. Ask our friendly staff for the right cleaning advice.
4. Personal Choice – Like anything, over time your current blinds can begin to deteriorate, becoming worn and faded, especially when you are using them daily. Their colours can also outdate and you own personal choice can change. Our team are experts when it comes to choosing new blinds that not only suit your budget, but also your home styling to compliment your decor and furnishings. Every person is unique with what they like, we understand this and can come to you to provide samples, a free measure and quote and to look at the windows and space your are wanting to update so you get the right advice.
