Minimise Germs Spreading in the Home or Office

As we all know, thoroughly washing our hands is not only a key step in maintaining personal hygiene, but it can stop the spread of germs and prevent us getting sick. Keeping a clean environment, like ensuring all surfaces are cleaned and disinfected is also crucial.

However, in a family home or even an office environment, it can be hard to stay-on-top of this, with so many surfaces you might not even think of, like your blinds or curtains. Here are three ways utilising Somfy solutions can help stop the spread of germs in your home and office.

Goodbye, cords and chains!

With manually operated blinds or curtains, you will find that everyone in the home or office is touching the same cords and chains to open and close blinds or curtains. Making sure everybody washes their hands or uses hand sanitiser before and after operating the window coverings can be tough to manage.

By motorising blinds and curtains, the manual process is eliminated along with cords and chains and the risk of transferring bacteria through touching the same surfaces is reduced.

Individual Control

Using the same equipment as others gives you a higher chance of being infected by other people’s germs.

Connexoon Window RTS is the intuitive automation solution which allows you to control all Somfy-motorised window treatments through your smartphone. The best part is that you can connect up to four smartphone devices, all with personalised individual control.

That way, your whole family can operate the window coverings on their own phone and reduce the risk of spreading germs on shared surfaces.

Hands-Free

Going hands-free with control of window coverings is an even better safeguard for minimising the spread of germs in the home and office.

By connecting your Connexoon Window RTS to your voice control device through IFTTT, you can operate your window coverings without even lifting a finger. Simply ask Alexa or your Google Assistant to do the job for you.
