How to choose smart blinds for interior or exterior

by Williamjocyce 11 Mar 2025 0 Comments

In the wave of smart homes, smart blinds, as a home product that combines technology and aesthetics, are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. When you decide to add smart blinds to your home, the choice of installation style—built-in or external—becomes a key link. As a senior brand that has been deeply involved in the field of smart blinds for many years, Bingnox provides you with professional and diverse installation solutions with its deep industry accumulation and cutting-edge technology. Next, let us deeply analyze the mysteries of built-in and external smart blinds to help you make an accurate choice.

Internal installation: a clever fusion of sophistication and practicality

Internal installation, that is, installing the smart blinds in the window frame, is a classic installation method. According to industry standards, the window frame depth must generally be more than 5 cm, so that the blinds installed inside will be both stable and beautiful. Take the study room of a friend of mine for example. The space is not big, so he chose to install smart blinds inside. This blind is small in size and perfectly hidden in the window frame, taking up no study space at all. The whole room looks simple and generous, which complements his home's minimalist decoration style. If your window frames are carefully selected or made by you, installing them inside is a great way to show off their charm. Whether it is an exquisite wooden window frame or a complex metal window frame, once the electric roller shutter is hidden, the unique design and craftsmanship details of the window frame will be fully exposed. Moreover, if you want to match the electric roller blinds with curtains or draperies, the internal installation is also very convenient for layering, and you can easily create a super layered window decoration effect to meet your personalized aesthetic.​

Externally mounted smart blinds: a combination of flexibility and practicality

Externally mounted smart blinds are usually installed 5-10 cm above the window frame, or directly on the outside of the window, depending on the structural characteristics of the window. This installation method also has many unique advantages.
The clever use of exterior smart blinds will be eye-catching. The original two smaller windows were visually merged into a larger window by installing external smart blinds, which not only significantly improved the lighting effect of the space, but also enhanced the overall sense of openness of the space. This fully demonstrates the flexibility and unique advantages of external installation.
The exterior installation is paired with blackout electric roller blinds, which excel in sun protection and furniture protection. Relevant research data shows that it can effectively block up to 95% of ultraviolet rays, creating a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment for you, while greatly extending the service life of furniture and protecting interior soft furnishings from ultraviolet rays.
For situations where you are not good at precise measurements or the window size may vary, exterior-mounted smart blinds provide more room for error. For example, Wili ordered exterior blinds in advance at the beginning of the renovation, and although the actual size of the windows was slightly different from the initial measurements, the installation process was still completed smoothly. In addition, external installation is particularly suitable for glass doors leading to the backyard because their window frame depth is limited. External installation is both beautiful and practical. Moreover, in rental houses, external blinds are extremely easy to install and remove without causing any damage to the house.

 FAQs

1.Do I need a professional to install smart blinds? ​

For users with some installation experience, if the window structure is simple, they can install built-in or external smart blinds by themselves according to the product installation instructions.
