Know When to Leave it with the Pros

When it comes to installing window treatments, DIY may not work out to be the most economical option.

Window treatment installation is a project best left with the experts due to the skills required and risks involved with getting it wrong.

Here are the top five reasons why you should leave this project with the Pros:

1. First and foremost comes the assurance of knowing that the pro can get the job done quickly and effectively, and often under a warranty.

2. There is a minimal risk of anything going wrong, especially with experienced people on hand to carry out any corrections needed on the spot.

3. If blinds or shutters are improperly sized, even to a small degree, this affects how the blind or awning operates. In the worst case scenario, the blind or awning may stop working prematurely, causing you to fork out more money to replace it.

4. There is no such thing as a "standard" sized window. Ever-changing design trends mean windows now come in all shapes and sizes making it harder to correctly choose from the ready-made window treatments in the market.

5. There is a common perception that getting professionals to do work is expensive. Even though there may be an additional cost, keep in mind that having the job done right from the start can help you save money in the long run.

Top Three Reasons to Bring your Windows into the Future

Having motorised blinds and shades was once a luxury, but with the latest innovations, having motorised window fashions in your home is now an affordable convenience.

Here are three great reasons to invest in motorised window fashions for your home.

Safety

Motorising your blinds means that you don't have to worry about dangling cords which pose a safety hazard for children and pets.











Convenience

Motorised shades make hard-to-reach and wide window coverings easier to operate and in some cases, you can control multiple window coverings at the touch of a button. Exclusive to Luxaflex, uRemote has the ability to control Roller Blinds from your Apple device even if you’re hundreds of kilometres away.












Style and Elegance

At the end of the day, you invest in window fashions to bring style and elegance to your home. With motorisation, you no longer have to deal with messy cords or fuss around to get them into the exact position you want. Qmotion for Roller Blinds is the only option in the market where you can quietly and seamlessly control blinds with a remote control or by hand when a remote is not within reach.
