      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Duette has developed the perfect combination of style and functionality in electric motorized blinds. This increase in demand for window blinds can be attributed to the needs of some privacy or reducing the amount of sunlight that goes into the room.</p><p>Codnor, Derbyshire -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/01/2014 --  Nothing beats an efficient window blinds when its full functionality can be wholly maximized with just one touch from a remote, as Duette showcases its electric motorised blinds to give ultimate comfort and control on every homes.<br />
<br />
Duette, the original energy saving blinds manufacturer for over 20 years, has developed the perfect combination of style and functionality in <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="electric motorized blinds" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iT48B-kr38">electric motorized blinds</a>. They strongly believe that electric motorised blinds are the perfect way to improve one&apos;s property and that every home deserves a child-friendly, energy efficient and easy to use window blinds.<br />
<br />
The increase in popularity of electric motorized blinds used in homes or conservatory has gained numbers of queries that pertains to the utilization and effectiveness of window blinds which can be found in the market nowadays. Certain inquiries raised were about the various types of motorized blinds that can be installed at home, the remote control specifications and the basic troubleshooting of motorized window coverings.<br />
<br />
The increase in demand for window blinds can be attributed to the needs of some privacy or reducing the amount of sunlight that goes into the room. With the several types of electric motorized blinds that can be placed in different part of the house, blinds come in various style and colors; may it be as louvers, slats and could be vertical or horizontal. Louvers and slats are known for controlling the amount of light coming into the room, as to some blinds can be multi-directional. Though each type of blinds can be made out of metal, wood or vinyl; blinds that are made from the materials such as vinyl and aluminum are more resistant to humidity. With the number of options to choose from, a person who wants to place motorized blinds can choose the best kind of electric motorized blinds materials, colors and styles that suits their likings.<br />
<br />
Some <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="electric motorized blinds" href="http://www.duette.co.uk/electric-blinds/">electric motorized blinds</a> make use of Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) that can communicate up to 65 feet through two concrete walls and up to a hundred feet in open air; where no line of site is required. Wireless wall switches or programmable timers can be of use with RTS. Chances of remote control interference with the ones at home and at the neighbors will not happen for RTS uses 16 million rolling codes. <br />
<br />
Programmable wall mounted switches to fit some specific setting, are frequently used with hard-wired window blinds. Mounting the wireless wall switches in an electrical box is strictly NOT recommended for it will strongly reduce the range of the switch and would probably prevent it from working effectively and reliably.<br />
<br />
The motor goes into rest mode when it is not use for an extended amount of time. Pressing the button once would not be enough to "wake" it up unless the command buttons (up, down) were pressed. Verifying the physical status of the motor from its previous use would greatly help in troubleshooting the motor of the motorized blinds.<br />
<br />
Innovations made on window blinds has something to do with the numerous cases of children getting strangled in the last few decades from corded window blinds; making it one of the top five "hidden hazards" in the home. Thus, with the development of electric motorized blinds that aims to provide ultimate comfort living, it is expected to be a great help in promoting a child-friendly environment on each and every home.<br />

      <title>Duette Revealed the Functional and Aesthetic Benefits of Electric Blinds</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Advancements in technology has also made electric blinds tied up with lighting systems in such a way that lights can automatically be dimmed or can go off when there is enough ambient light in the room.</p><p>Codnor, Derbyshire -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/18/2014 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Electric blinds" href="http://www.duette.co.uk/electric-blinds/">Electric blinds</a>, or motorized blinds, one of the great innovations of Duette, are an "in" thing right now. Not only are these blinds functional, the aesthetics they bring to interior design is incomparable. <br />
<br />
Duette revealed here the functional and aesthetic benefits of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="electric blinds" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_blind">electric blinds</a>:<br />
<br />
Shade and privacy are two important considerations when considering using an electric blind. A good electric blind should be able to provide these while being controlled easily. In some instances that the windows are mounted high, adjusting the settings can be quite a challenge. Thanks to technology, remote functionality is now possible. Whether being hardwired into a wall (which is ideal to do during the building phase) or being set-up manually, the cabling can be retrofit to lodge the current structure. <br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Electric blinds" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZbKTWbsCBM">Electric blinds</a> are made up in such a way that one remote can manageably control a number of independent windows. The same system also enables one to customize the settings for each window wherein upper units can be opened for universal lights and the lower units can be sloped to repel heat or glare. <br />
<br />
Another notable capability of electric blinds is that it can be set to a timer so it can be controlled eventhough no one is at home. This is useful to ward off burglars from entering the house. Controlling electric blinds even if no one is at home can make the house look like someone is there all the time.<br />
<br />
Advancements in technology has also made electric blinds tied up with lighting systems in such a way that lights can automatically be dimmed or can go off when there is enough ambient light in the room. Electric blinds can also work in sync with an HVAC system and thermostats for lowering heat and cooling bills.<br />
