Create the Perfect Self Build Home with Warema

Warema offers state-of-the-art motorised blinds, shutters, and awnings that are perfect for self builders looking to create a smart home. You can control your shading solutions through a voice or remote control, or set it up as part of a wider smart home system.

Why is this great for a self build home? As you have full control over the design and layout of your home, you can integrate Warema solutions from the start. Invisible wiring and clean aesthetics can be incorporated into your build for a flawless finish and a smart home system that feels organic.

Energy efficiency and sustainability Warema products regulate the indoor temperature of your self build home naturally, reducing your reliance on artificial cooling and heating systems. For example, exterior venetian blinds prevent excessive heat from entering during summer, while allowing warmth in during winter.

You can also sync your Warema shading solutions with your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. By working in harmony, these systems reduce energy waste and save on utility bills.

Self builders can achieve energy efficiency targets like PassivHaus standards by integrating Warema early in the design phase. Sustainable solutions like these increase long-term energy savings and resale value, especially as energy efficient homes become more popular.

Everyday comfort You can use your smart home system to create schedules for when your Warema blinds or shutters open and close. For example, you can program them to open in the morning to let in natural light, or close during peak sunlight hours to reduce heat gain.

Warema products are designed to maximise the use of natural daylight, while preventing issues like glare or overheating. This is especially beneficial in home offices or living spaces with large glass panels.

Self build projects often emphasise unique layouts with creative use of light. Warema’s precise control of shading solutions complements these architectural designs.

Smart home integration Warema products integrate seamlessly with popular smart home platforms like KNX, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. You can control shading alongside lighting, heating, and security systems from a single app or device. This centralised control offers you unparalleled convenience on a day-to-day basis.

A self build offers the freedom to choose a cohesive smart home ecosystem, and Warema’s compatibility ensures flexibility in selecting a system that works perfectly for you. Wired or wireless control options can be tailored to your home’s infrastructure.

Weather monitoring Enjoy a perfect climate at all times in your home. Sun shading systems like blinds and awnings can be automatically adjusted based on the time of the day, the position of the sun in the sky and other weather conditions.

Warema awnings can be fitted with sensors, including wind monitoring that automatically retracts when a storm rolls in or heavy rain begins to prevent weather damage.

Even when the weather is fine, your blinds and shutters can use smart sensors to adjust automatically based on the position of the sun. This reduces glare and keeps your interiors feeling comfortable.

This feature is particularly valuable in large south-facing windows or glass-fronted living spaces that are commonly found in modern self builds. Incorporating weather-responsive technology early in your build can reduce maintenance needs and maximise the lifespan of your shading products.

Personalised comfort for your unique home Tailor your blinds, awnings or shutters to specific rooms or zones. For instance, you can keep your bedroom blinds closed for optimal darkness while maintaining daylight in the living areas.

Warema systems allow you to have individual user profiles for different household members or create your own occasions, such as movie nights or summer afternoons.

Self builders often design spaces tailored to their lifestyle. A smart home kitted with Warema shading systems is the perfect way to ensure every corner of your home meets your personalised needs.

Better security Automated shading systems can mimic occupancy when you’re away, deterring potential intruders. You can control your shading solutions from anywhere in the world using Warema’s app or your smart home system. With just a press of a button, you can make it look like you’re at home even when you’re away on vacations or long absences.

Modern self-build homes often feature large windows, which can be a security concern. Warema’s smart shading offers both privacy and peace of mind.
