Motorized blinds have surged in popularity due to their convenience and style, yet when designing a new home, they are often overlooked until move-in day. This could lead to limited choices and settling for less-than-ideal solutions. To help you avoid any issues, we’ve created this blog post to guide you in ensuring the best motorized blinds solution for your home.
Powering Options
One of the most crucial yet frequently overlooked aspects is the choice of power supply. We strongly suggest considering either AC (high voltage) or DC (low voltage) wiring for your windows. Both options eliminate worries about battery life and charging. However, we particularly recommend AC wiring, as blinds powered by AC motors tend to operate more quietly and swiftly compared to their DC counterparts.
Smart Home System Integration
If your new home plan includes a smart home system like Control4, remember that you’ll require a separate hub to connect your blinds to your home internet. A strong and stable internet connection throughout your home is crucial for easy and hassle-free operation, reducing the need for multiple hubs. Most homes up to 6500 sqft typically require just one hub. However, if you’re planning to install over 50 motorized blinds, we suggest booking a consultation for expert advice.
Booking a Consultation
We recommend scheduling a consultation during the electrical rough-in stage of your home construction. With our 20 years of experience, we can provide key insights that can guide you in making well-informed decisions about your motorized blinds. We also can provide a rough estimate at this stage. This proactive step can make all the difference in ensuring your new home has the most suitable and efficient motorized blinds setup.
