When you're decorating your home, you don't want the same design everyone else has. That one-size-fits all, out-of-the-box look simply isn't intriguing, and emotionally, it doesn't feel as nice as personalized designs. Hi! My name is Sarah, and I love design. My home reflects not just what's in style, but rather, it reflects something about me, my life, experiences and preferences. In this blog, I want to help you create your ideal home. I plan to write about how to personalise interior design from a functional and aesthetic perspective, as well as tips on saving money, hiring designers and more. Take a look and enjoy.
Panel glides make a great choice when you need to cover wider expanses of glass, such as large, sweeping windows and sliding doors. Such applications are also ideal for motorization, so you should think about having a programmable motor installed when you fit your panel glides.
Here are just four reasons why.
1. More Convenient
The most obvious benefit that comes with motorized panel glides also tends to be the most compelling: they're incredibly convenient. Since they normally cover such large areas, you'll probably want to make adjustments throughout the day and then close them up at night. With the controls in your hand, you can precisely adjust their position without getting up from the sofa or coming in from the yard. Once you've gotten used to using a controller, you'll wonder how you lived without one.
2. Neater and Safer
One of the little annoyances with traditional blinds is that there's always a cord or rod dangling down to control them. These can make your home look a little messy, and cords aren't very safe if you have pets or small children. They're especially annoying when used on sliding doors, since they might hang down over the entry point. Motorized panel glides are completely cordless, so they look much neater and don't pose any hazards.
3. Better Security
People often consider larger windows and sliding doors a security risk, especially since they provide such an open view of the inside. However, motorized panel glides can improve security, since most can be programmed to open and close at certain times. This gives the impression someone might be home, which will deter potential burglars, and you'll be able to make sure your home isn't on display during certain hours.
4. More Efficient
Another common issue with large windows and sliding glass doors is that they don't control the heat as effectively as the surrounding walls. With large expanses of glass, your home will probably be harder to keep warm during the winter and cool during the summer. Again, having motorized panel glides can help. Since you can set them to open and close at certain times, you can always be sure of that additional layer of insulation. They're particularly useful during summer, since you can set them to close when the sun is going to be at its hottest or when light is going to be streaming directly through into your property.
