What are the benefits of Smart Home Automation?


Convenience, comfort, entertainment, safety and energy management top the list as the most desired benefits from smart home automation.  But the longer term benefits are the energy savings of automating your window furnishings.

Increased Savings with reduced energy consumption


By motorising your window furnishings and integrating them with your smart home devices, your house will become more energy efficient. Set your blinds to go down during the day to keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter. Smart Home Automation will greatly assist in reducing your energy usage, delivering savings back to the household.

Convenience & ease


Automating your blinds adds convenience to every day living at the touch of a button or a simple voice command. Set all your blinds to go down as you leave the house or to open up when you get up in the morning. Save time - No more walking around to each window and manually opening/closing each of your blinds!

High windows, no problem for motorised blinds


Now you can easily open and close your blinds on hard to reach windows whenever you want.  These can be powered by 240v motors or 12v motor with the addition of  a Solar Panel you wont have to go up and charge the motor as the sun will do that.

Comfort from home automation


Set the mood for comfortable living in your home. Watching a movie? Ask for the sunscreen blinds to come down to remove the glare from the comfort of your couch. Hot afternoon sun coming in and heating the house? Simply command your blinds to go down. Cold afternoon? Set your blinds to go down at the same time the heaters go on. Beautiful morning outside? Say the word and watch all your blinds go up at once to reveal the world.

Safety


Safety of home, comes in two forms, in the first instance there are no longer chains hanging down so if you have young children in your home you remove the hanging risk that window furnishing chains present.  In the second instance consider the risk when your home is vacant from during holidays, or your away for work.  You can now control your window furnishings both on an automatic setting or remotely from anywhere i.n the word.

Anti-ligature Curtain Track

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]


Recently introduced by Taylor and Stirling to the Australian Metal Health Market, the J Trac is a new anti-ligature ceiling/wall fixed curtain track which incorporates glider runners designed to unclip when a specific weight is applied.





Should an abnormal load be applied (20 kg maximum), the holding force is immediately overcome and the glider runners release the load. The curtain track is designed to be directly fixed flush to the ceiling, or wall mounted with no gap between profile and surface.

The patent curtain rail has been jointly designed, developed, Swedish design company, , and independently tested by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. Available in wall and ceiling-mounted versions, it comprises three components: the rail, a runner, and end-stops. A new ceiling-mounted shower curtain version is also available.  Unlike Load release anti-ligature systems the J-track system cant be used as a weapon in metal health or prison system.

Manufactured in aluminium for rigidity, and white powder coated for smooth operation, the track is available in pre-cut kit sizes or custom lengths. No specialist installation training is required, the system requires little maintenance, and the curtain is easily re-applied after being subjected to a load. It can be supplied in various RAL colours, with next day delivery available.
