Benefits of Electric Blinds

Energy Efficiency

Schedule blinds to close during peak daylight hours to regulate indoor temperatures, reduce glare, and lower your heating and energy costs year-round.

Ease-of-use & Convenience

Electric blinds are easy to install and ideal for hard-to-reach windows. Their smooth, quiet function adds to their convenience and long-term reliability.

Modern Look & Feel

A cordless design offers a clean, modern finish. Removing traditional cords also reduces safety risks with children or pets, and prevents damage often caused by manual cord adjustments.

Smart Home Integration

Smart blinds can be integrated with leading smart home ecosystems like Google Home or Amazon Alexa. This allows for full automation and hands-free control via smartphone apps or voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Electric Blinds

Motorised blinds are powered by a small, built-in electric motor that allows you to open, close, or automatically adjust them without using manual cords or chains.

These blinds can be operated using a remote control, smartphone app, or a smart home hub. The motor sits discreetly inside the blind mechanism, offering smooth, quiet, and effortless operation.

They’re ideal for large, hard-to-reach windows and households looking for a low-maintenance and modern solution.

  3. Smart home hub: The TaHoma® switch integrates with platforms like Google Assistant or Alexa, enabling voice control and custom automation.

Motorised blinds require precise installation to ensure smooth operation, proper alignment, and safe connection to a power source. For best results, we recommend having your blinds installed by a professional.

Speak to our team to book a professional installer or to get expert advice on motorised blind setup.

Cleaning motorised blinds is simple, but the approach depends on the material and your home environment. A monthly cleaning routine is generally recommended to prevent dust and dirt buildup. In busy homes with pets and small children, blinds may need more regular attention. They might have residue buildup in areas where there is frequent cooking or activities.

For regular cleaning:

  • Gently vacuum fabric blinds using a soft brush attachment.
  • Dust plastic or aluminium blinds with a dry cloth, or use mild soap and water for heavier dirt.
  • Always clean gently around the motor and avoid moisture near electronic components.

For spot cleaning:

  • Dab small stains on fabric blinds using a slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid rubbing or soaking the fabric to preserve its structure and finish.
  • Never submerge motorised blinds or expose electrical parts to water.

Tip: Choose easy-to-clean materials when selecting motorised blinds, and stick to a light and regular cleaning routine to extend their lifespan and maintain smooth operation.

Resetting Somfy motorised blinds involves a few technical steps to return the motor to its factory settings. While it can be done at home with the correct equipment and technical understanding, we recommend having a professional handle the reset process to avoid any complications.
