Are motorised blinds better than normal blinds? Do I REALLY need to remotely control my blinds? I'd love motorised blinds but can I really afford them?
Do these questions sound familiar? Well, this guide has been designed to help you answer some of the burning questions about motorised blinds!
How do they work?
Motorised blinds can be opened and closed using an electrical unit that turns the bar that the blind is attached to. These motors are small but powerful pieces of equipment and use minimal power to operate, increasing their efficiency! Depending on your personal preferences or what is available, this motor can be powered by rechargeable batteries or connected directly to your main supply.
What are my control options?
Motorised blinds come with FOUR control options - giving you a variety of options to best suit your technological needs. The options on offer are:
- Wall Switches - Just like a light switch, these can be used to control a single or a group of blinds at a touch of a button!
- Remote Control - If getting up and controlling a switch is not convenient, we have remote control options. Just like a TV remote but with fewer buttons!
- Smart Hub Control - For those who are tech-savvy, you may prefer our smart hub option that allows you to control your blinds via devices such as Google Home or Alexa. Imagine controlling your blinds with your voice!
