Why roller blinds are good for your home and wellness

Trying to block the sun rays is something we as humans have done for many, many years. For many purposes as well, both trying to cool down our homes but also for keeping the sun from waking us up too early in the mornings. In the beginning you just hung up a sheet or blanket of some kind but when our homes became more modern, we started to use curtains and later roller blinds.

The use of roller blinds is the most common way to block out sunrays, especially in bedrooms since we don’t want to wake up to early getting sunlight in our eyes. Using blackout blinds in the bedrooms help us sleep longer with the result of feeling more in harmony when waking up. The traditional roller blinds had to be manually operated, often with a bead chain with the disadvantage of being harmful to smaller children causing accidents.

Luckily evolution and innovation has created the smart roller blinds. These have the same function as traditional roller blinds but comes with a built-in motor. This motor operates the roller blind making it open and close, controlled in different ways. Today’s roller blinds are silent and can, when automated give you a pleasant wakeup in the mornings as well as providing presence simulation.

When you sleep well, you wake up feeling rested and when going to bed in a cooler room this enhances your night sleep which is good for your wellness.

How to control your roller blinds

With motorised roller blinds you get many different options on how to control these. Standard solution comes with a remote that opens and closes the blinds. Some remotes also have a favorite position setting allowing you to easily close your blind to your liking.

Besides a normal remote you can also use a wall mounted switch that blends in with your interior design. These are wireless making them easy to install and why not place on beside the bed to easily control your blinds in the morning?

But you do get more out of your blinds if you automate the operation of these. With the use of different sensors, you can automate them and don’t need to think about them during the day. A sun sensor can close or open the blinds depending on the presence of light in the room. When the sun shines too much they close, and you come home to a cooler room with a better indoor environment. You can also choose a temperature sensor and have the room temperature to control the opening and closing of your blinds.
