At Designer Shade Solutions, we specialise in new, innovative, and modern shading structures that allow you to shelter from the ever-changing British weather conditions. These products include our retractable roof pergolas, retractable awnings UK and external screen blinds, to name a few. You can customise these structures in several ways, but one of the most excellent additions is our radio-control systems which allow you to operate your shading structure with the simple click of a button. From hardwired switches on walls to remote controls, discover the benefits of our radio-controlled shading systems below.
Altering your shade
One of the greatest advantages of our radio-control systems is that they can be used to alter the amount of shade in your blinds, awnings, or retractable roof pergola, creating an optimal level. This means that with the control panel on your Somfy Radio System, you can select how much coverage you need from your shading structure. Since the weather is constantly changing, this is a brilliant feature as you can always ensure full comfort and protection. Clearly, this component also reduces the physical task and hassle that may otherwise come with these structures. So, next time you are sitting in the office and sunlight is glaring through onto your desk, just hit the button on your Somfy control and adjust the blind to your requirements.
Optional timers
Another excellent benefit of our radio controls is that they can use timer systems to connect with your shading structure. This allows you to select certain times of the day when you want your structure to be closed or opened, meaning you don’t even need to be present to operate it. Perhaps you own a restaurant and would like your retractable louvre roof to be closed at the same time every evening? Not a problem! With the help of our radio controls, you can easily set this timer allowing you to focus on serving customers.
Optional timers also create a great energy-saving benefit. For example, if you have one of our internal screen blinds, you may use these blinds to retain heat from the sun during the day, preventing the need for heating in the winter. Alternatively, blinds may also be used to reduce light and heat entering your property, which again prevents the need for air conditioning units or fans, during the summer. Utilise radio-control timers to your advantage by selecting times of the day when you want the blind opened or closed, helping you to reduce energy costs.
Weather sensors
Finally, the Somfy and Warema radio control systems also use weather sensors to detect which conditions your retractable roof or pergola awning UK must adapt to. For instance, when it is raining, your retractable roof pergola or roof louvres can close, thanks to the use of radio controls, protecting those sitting under it. Similarly, in more harsh conditions like hail or snow, your retractable awning can retract to prevent the structure from becoming damaged. This is also a great feature for commercial use, as it ensures that customers are always comfortable, so you won’t have to rush to close your structure. Again, with the use of these futuristic controls, you don’t even need to be around to get the best possible use from your structure!
