If you were to ask an interior designer what the most important aspect of a room is, it is likely that their answer would be ‘light’. Though it may seem obvious, the means through which natural light enters and fills a space has a profound effect on the overall atmosphere of the room itself. Not only does good lighting create a sense of calm, but it can also be adjusted in order to achieve a desired result; lower level lighting is conducive to intimate settings, whereas bright, natural light can be used to make an area feel spacious and airy. Of course, in order to effectively control the levels of natural light in a room, high-quality window treatments are essential.

Whether you’re a fan of roller blinds, Venetians or traditional curtains, there are a multitude of styles to choose between. That said, while it may be tempting to spend hours choosing the material, design and style of your window furnishings, it is important that the systems with which they will be opened are not overlooked.

From hand operated curtain tracks to battery operated systems and remote control blinds, there is plenty of choice when it comes to finding the right fit for your space. If, like us, you’re a fan of practicality and useful technology, there are a number of modern systems to consider.

In the following article, we’ll take a look at the benefits associated with electrical curtain tracks, exploring their uses, technical capabilities and more. Read on to discover how these handy bits of technology could transform your home, office or commercial property.

The Benefits Of Electrical Tracks

As mentioned above, those hoping to add practicality, aesthetics and a splash of modern technology to their living space should look no further than remote control blinds and curtains. Not only are electric window treatments right on-trend, but these cost-effective bits of tech are accompanied by a wide range of benefits. Whether you’re hoping to refurbish an existing space, or embark on a brand-new design project, there are a plethora of reasons to choose automated tracks.

Below, we’ll run through the many benefits associated with the implementation of electrical and remote control curtain tracks.

Aesthetic Appeal

First on our list is, of course, their aesthetic appeal. Thanks to the combination of modern engineering and well-considered design work, electric curtain tracks and roller blinds exist as sleek additions to any home or office. By removing the need for curtain rods, beaded cords or clunky shutter controls, electric systems can be installed discretely and tailored to match the existing aesthetics of a space.

We’ll explore the practical benefits of electric blinds and curtain tracks shortly, but it is definitely worth noting their visual appeal. Whether you’re entertaining guests or hosting a home film night, being able to control your blinds with the click of a button is about as stylish as it gets.

Improved Safety

Moreover, electric curtain tracks and motorised blinds are actually much safer than traditional corded systems. As these devices remove the need for hanging cords, ropes or pulleys, there is no danger of children or pets becoming caught or tangled. While danger may not be the first thing that springs to mind when considering window treatment, it should always be a priority when there are young children or animals exploring your space.

Convenience & Ease Of Use

Perhaps most importantly, electrical curtain tracks are favoured due to the ease with which they can be operated. As individuals across the country welcome automated technology into their homes,motorised blinds are among the most popular. Whether you struggle with mobility issues, or are simply looking to streamline your lifestyle, these systems offer the perfect solution.

Take, for example, the Silent Gliss 5100 Autoglide system, an electrical curtain track designed for use with light to medium weight curtains. Powered by a precise and silent AC motor, this innovative device can be paired with the LightWave Home Automation System, enabling smartphone connectivity, lighting synchronisation and wireless control from anywhere. Not only does this make life much easier, but it can also improve your home or office’s security, which we’ll explore in detail shortly.

Energy Efficient

In addition to their safety features, aesthetic appeal and convenient operation, remote control blinds are also incredibly energy efficient. As the cost of living increases and the importance of sustainable living becomes clear, automated home devices provide an opportunity to cut back on unnecessary power usage.

Powered by rechargeable batteries or a length and discreet cable and 3 pin plug, Silent Gliss Systems use very little power to operate. What’s more, automated control means that you’ll never forget to close them before leaving the house, helping to retain heat in cooler months and keep your spaces cool through summer.

Enhanced Security

As mentioned briefly above, many electrical curtain and blind systems can be linked to home automation systems, in conjunction with smartphones and tablets. In doing so, individuals are able to set timers, automate opening and closing and even control their blinds from abroad. This, in turn, can prove incredibly useful as a form of security.

By remotely controlling blinds via timers and automation, it is easy to make it appear as if your home or office is occupied while you’re away. This can act as a particularly effective deterrent against criminals and thieves.

Easy Maintenance

Last, but by no means least, motorised curtains are particularly easy to maintain. Owing to the automated nature of these devices, they experience very little wear and tear. Gone are the days of greasy hands and grubby fingers pulling curtains open and closed, with electrical systems, cleaning and maintenance is required far less frequently. A simple dusting every once in a while will be more than sufficient in order to keep your curtain and blind systems looking as good as new.
