The sweltering summer heat can be brutal if you are living in a place like Delhi. However, with wooden blinds Delhi summers can become more bearable when you are inside the home and office. Although people can always avail the services of air conditioning system, the electricity bill of making the AC run throughout the day can pinch your pocket. Window blinds are the most natural way of keeping the rooms cool during the summer. Blinds also provide effective insulation which helps in maintaining the temperature of the room. The slats of the blinds can be adjusted to allow proper ventilation and control the amount of light that enters you room. Blinds are able to reduce the gain at least by 45% when they are completely closed, which results in big electricity savings. You can also adjust blinds to block and reflect sunlight onto another light-colored surface which in turn diffuses the light.

Blinds are also a good solution if you want to reduce glare. Most of the times when you are working on a computer or trying to watch TV, the sunlight can interfere with your experience. Installing window blinds will definitely block the sunlight but you also have options like blockout blinds which are a popular option for home theatres or kids’ room. The conventional protection that you get from blinds is all about blocking the sunlight and there are multiple implications of it. The harsh summer sun can be damaging for the interiors of your home including wall paint, furnishings, carpet and art pieces etc. Blinds protect your home by preventing the sunlight from entering your rooms. Along with the sunlight, the harmful UV rays are also blocked protecting your entire family from sun damage.

Window blinds can also be motorized for convenient operation. Blinds need to be adjusted multiple times a day for optimal benefits. In a house there are multiple windows and when it comes to manually adjusting the blinds for each window then it can be quite time consuming. During the summer it is especially tiresome to reach out to all the blinds individually. This precious time of your life is better invested somewhere where it is required more as motorization can totally eliminate the manual handling of blinds. You can open and close all the blinds in your house at the same time or handle an individual separately simply with the click of a button on the remote control. This also increases the durability of the blinds by minimizing wear and tear as the blinds will open and close very smoothly.

The best thing about motorized blinds is that they allow you to opt for complete automation with a Home Integration System. This system basically controls the operation of all the electronic appliances in the house and can independently choose to turn on or turn off something to reach the ideal temperature inside the room. For example, when the temperature is rising on a summer morning, the automated system can simple shut the blinds instead of turning on the AC in order to maintain the ideal temperature in a room. This reduces the strain on air conditioning resulting in additional savings on electricity bills.
