Managing Your Office Interior with Motorized Blinds

Running an office can be a lot on your plate. From managing staff to ensuring the cleanliness of the space, there’s a lot to remember. Just one of many things to do when managing your office is closing and opening time. Fortunately, closing and opening is made one step easier when implementing motorized blinds. Why do blinds matter? Domir Blinds of Toronto is here to tell you why.

Blinds are Security

While blinds have a lot of function in light control and the like, they also have a frequently overlooked benefit. Blinds function as a cheap method of security. While they won’t prevent brute force from breaking a window, they can deter a break-in altogether. That’s because people don’t tend to break into a space if they can’t see inside. There are too many risk factors. For one thing, there could be an employee still inside the building. There’s no faster way to end up arrested than breaking into an occupied space.

Because blinds are great after-hours security (in combination with leaving the light on), they should be closed each night. However, sitting with the blinds closed all day isn’t exactly nice. Instead of wasting your time and energy making the rounds every single morning and night to open and close the office blinds, motorize them! Managing your office just got a whole lot easier. Each night when you close and each morning when you open, you can adjust the blinds with just the tap of a smartphone screen. 

Out of Reach

Security measures aren’t the only thing that can benefit from motorized blinds. There are also, frequently, windows that are out of reach in an office space. While home blinds are usually easy to reach for opening and closing, an office space is often much larger. A higher ceiling can mean windows above windows. These higher windows and their blinds can only be reached manually by using a ladder. The same thing goes for skylights.

High windows and skylights may not need to be closed for security. However, if they’re casting unwanted sunlight onto computer screens, they’re going to be a huge problem. Offices, no matter the type, usually mean some number of computers. If your employees are fighting just to see their screen past the midday sunshine, they’re not going to be very productive. With motorized blinds, you can easily adjust out of reach window blinds with the tap of a button. This ease of access can make adjusting the blinds even multiple times per shift an easy task.

Improve Assisted Living Facilities with Motorized Blinds

Blinds are an integral part of almost any establishment. Whether that’s a commercial business or someone’s home, they’re relevant. It’s an important convenience to be able to cover windows. That’s not just to keep unwanted sunlight out, but for privacy too. Keeping out prying eyes is one of the most important features blinds have to offer and the main reason they’re used everywhere. From high-rise office buildings to assisted living facilities, blinds are a necessity. But how about motorized blinds?

Accessibility Difficulties

Speaking of assisted living facilities, they actually have a unique need that many buildings don’t have. That need is accessibility. For example, they need proper stair handrails and other accessibility measures.  When one begins to get up there in years, the ability to reach up and open blinds can diminish. This is especially true if reaching over a couch or other furnishing to get to the blinds cord. Eventually, night falls and it becomes necessary to close them again. If they’re left open while the lights are on, your windows will turn your living room into a display case for everyone outside to see into.

For those who have a hard time opening and closing their blinds, there’s a fantastic solution: motorized blinds. Motorizing your blinds allows you to open and close them without even having to leave your seat. Just tapping a button on your smartphone or tablet will allow you to uncover or recover your windows. This is a necessity for those in wheelchairs or who struggle with mobility.

Assisted Living

Assisted living facilities are effectively apartments for those who may need access to help part of the time. Staff can bring residents medication, meals, or help them with tasks that are difficult for them to do by themselves. For these elderly folks, maintaining as much independence as possible is important. That’s why motorized blinds are a fantastic addition to assisted living facilities.

Motorized blinds allow residents to open and close their blinds whenever they like without having to ask for help. This is great for their mental health, as the loss of independence can cause depression or other mental health problems. It’s also necessary for helping them maintain a certain quality of life.

Health Benefits of Motorized Blinds

What you may not know is that there are actual health benefits to more accessible, motorized blinds. When someone has enough trouble with accessing their blinds, they may start to leave them closed. Sitting in a sparsely-lit room also contributes to the onset of depression.

It’s not just mental health that’s affected by the lack of sunlight. Even just ten minutes a day of sunlight can give you enough vitamin D to sustain you. However, little to no sunlight can negatively impact your body very quickly. More aches and pains and insomnia are only two of many ways low vitamin D can impact you.

Giving residents the ability to open their blinds and then close them when they need to without having to overexert or injure themselves is paramount for their health. People will no longer have to sit in the dark just because they’re unable to open their blinds by themselves.
