The sun is showing itself more often, the days are getting longer and it's time to give your home a fresh, new impulse and atmosphere. Smart window coverings help you to fully enjoy the spring sun and make a fresh start. Discover how smart solutions not only let in more natural light, but also increase your living comfort. Making the most of the spring sun Now that the clock is moving forward another hour, in the night of 29 to 30 March, a new rhythm is beginning. The morning sun shines through the windows and illuminates your home with a natural glow. Smart window coverings respond perfectly to this: Automatic opening with the sun – Set your blinds or curtains to open as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear. This way you wake up naturally, without needing an alarm clock. Daylight as an energy saver – Make the most of natural light and reduce the use of artificial lighting. This is not only good for your energy bill, but also for the environment. Protection from the first bright rays of the sun – While we enjoy the sun, it can quickly become too hot in the house. With smart interior blinds, you can keep the temperature pleasant without having to turn on the air conditioning right away. Spring cleaning: fresh into the season But while you are enjoying the first rays of sunshine coming in through your windows, you notice something... Winter has left its mark. Stains on the windows, a layer of dust on the blinds and even your outdoor blinds will soon need to be cleaned. Time for a fresh start! Spring is often the time for a big cleaning in the house. Not only your windows, windows but also your interior blinds deserve a refresh. With a few simple steps, you can ensure that your smart sun protection lasts longer and continues to work optimally. This is how you make your smart window decoration spring-ready: Window coverings: use a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to remove dust on the slats or on the fabric. Stubborn dirt? A slightly damp cloth often works wonders. However, avoid using cleaning products, as they can sometimes leave marks after drying. Curtains: are sometimes real "dust pullers" that should be removed from the electrical rails during cleaning. Then take the curtains outside and hang them over the clothesline, for example. On a beautiful spring day with a little wind, nature does its work within an hour. If you then knock out the last fabric and hang it back on the rail, it already gives a nice and fresh feeling. Automation check – Is your electric interior blinds equipped with batteries? Check the LED on the motor side to see if you need to charge them again. Do you also have a TaHoma switch? Then you can see the status of the batteries per awning in the app. It is also useful to send your awnings down and up again (+ tilting slats) via your remote control or the TaHoma app. For more detailed cleaning tips, check out our dedicated blogs on shading maintenance.
