There are many top trends with blind designs and the technology used within them. Blinds are popular with homeowners looking to make their windows more stylish and functional. With technology like motorised controls, voice-activated commands, and smart sensors, blind designs are now being taken to the next level.
Blinds that are safe for kids have grown in demand too. Hospitals have changed the technology they use in blinds to stop the spread of germs. Residential homes within the economic crisis have been looking at ways to save on their energy bills and have looked towards their blinds to help. Have you wondered about the top trends currently when shopping for blinds? You’re in the right place as we take a closer look at the best window blinds and technology.
Energy saving blinds help insulate homes. They help by keeping warm inside and cold air out. Their popularity has grown among households wanting to cut their energy bills. The average house spends around £1,254 per year on power and heating, making it one of the most expensive costs for a home.
Homeowners can save up to 16% on energy bills when they switch to energy-saving blinds. Energy saving blinds usually come in a pleated blind style with a wide range of colours and patterns. Pleated blinds can be purchased in a plane style, or a patterned style to ensure it complements any type of home. Energy saving blinds are best when manufactured locally by a company you can trust! Here at A1 Blinds, we provide quality blinds with all the energy-saving properties needed to keep your home warm.
Blinds that are safe for children have always been at the forefront for blind manufacturing companies. Blind manufacturing companies have developed the design and how they work to make sure they are safe for children. Features like tangle proof cords, blind clips and correct cord lengths aid in child safety when exposed to blinds.
These are part of the new top designs and have been advanced with technology to make sure even the most accident prone kids are safe. Companies accredited with the BBSA and part of ‘Make it safe’ are a good way in making sure your blinds have been tested and are safe for children.
These types of blinds would be ideal for schools and projects that are child centred. A1 Blinds are BBSA accredited and make sure all their blinds are tested and safe for children, adults, and pets.
When it comes to keeping patients and kids safe, you must make sure it’s made of a material that prevents the spread of germs. One of the most technologically advanced materials for this in recent times has been antimicrobial material. Antimicrobial blinds are made with special fibres that stop germs from forming. Reducing growth makes them easier to clean with one wipe. They make the ideal blinds for schools and hospitals.
Antimicrobial blinds are great for maintaining a healthy environment that reduces the risk of people getting unwell at home, the office, or in healthcare settings. They have increased in popularity since being on the market with no sign of slowing down.
Not many manufacturers can source this material for their blinds. They also come in a range of styles that complement any home or project. They are the best shading solution to stop the spread of germs. Furthermore, these blinds are highly durable and robust, making them a great long term investment.
