Home Safety During Travel With Motorized Shades
We’re getting close to vacation time for many people, so it’s a good time to think about how you’ll help protect your home while you’re away. At Blind Builders here in Feasterville, we have a few security tips that can help bring peace of mind and reduce stress while you travel. Check them out below!
Safety and Security
If you’re like many people, you can spend weeks planning a vacation and itinerary, so it’s best to have a home plan for security. The top choice is a home alarm system, which works for many people, but it can be a pretty pricey investment, from initial technology outlay to monthly monitoring costs. So here are some other options to employ when you’re away from home:
- Lean on a Friend. Ask a friend or neighbor to keep tabs on your home while you’re gone. Ideally, they would check in at least every couple of days—both to guard against intruders as well as to monitor any in-house trouble, such as a broken water heater. It’s best to ask the post office to hold your mail, but if that doesn’t work for you, see if your friend can collect it daily to thwart mailbox theft.
- Try Not to Broadcast Your Upcoming Plans. Social media has changed how people share information, which can be a good thing. But when it comes to any future travel, it’s best to keep quiet ahead of your departure and while you’re away. The less people know about it beforehand, the better, because then fewer folk will know that your house is sitting empty. You can always post those vista and food-related pics once you’re back!
- Make Your Windows a Disguise. Having PowerView® Automation on your window fashions inherently offers a great deal of security. You can set your treatments to open and close on a schedule of your choosing, or you can control them using your smartphone from wherever you are—even if you’re in a different time zone. This will make it seem like someone is still inhabiting your space. PowerView is an award-winning system that brings the best of convenience, functionality, and privacy. And not only that—it has been noted in a number of arenas, including Interior Design’s Best of Year, Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Art and Design’s Good Design, the Window Covering Manufacturers Association’s Top Design Innovation, and Technology Integrator’s Excite Award.
