MOTOR OPTIONS FOR MOTORISED BLINDS

We offer the 2 main motor types, rechargeable battery and hard wired.

Which one is best for you will depend on the size and type of blind, and also the installation options available at your property.

01  BATTERY OPERATED, WIRE FREE, RECHARGEABLE MOTORS

Blind motors with built in lithium-ion batteries can be simply recharged with a USB-C charger cable in the same way as your mobile phone. These are ideal in a situation where pre-installed cabling is not available, or as a retro fit solution to your current blind.

As they do not have the same power as a hardwired motor, the only limit is the size of your blind. Depending on your fabric choice, a battery motor will operate a blind up to 3.2m in length.

Controlled by either a remote control or via Bluetooth to an app on your tablet or phone. This is one of the most common and flexible solutions for motorised blinds.

02  HARD WIRED MOTORS, CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MAINS POWER SUPPLY

Hard wired motors connect directly to your mains supply through cabling and with a permanent power supply there is no need to recharge.

These are ideal where pre-existing cabling has been installed and concealed as part of a reform or new build project by your electrician. Power can also be daisy chained. From one motor to another which means one power supply can be connected to multiple blinds within the same proximity. (This option is not available for hard wired switch operated blinds where one operating switch must be explicitly installed per each individual blind).

They are the solution where extra-large blinds are required and the use of a manual operating system. This is unsuitable or beyond the limits of a rechargeable battery motor. Depending on the type of blind, a width of up to 6m can be installed with this option.

Most commonly operated through a remote control, hard wired motors are the ideal solution. Where multiple blinds are to be installed and maximum flexibility if operation is required.

Frequently asked questions about Motor Options

Basically a battery motorised roller blind can go up to 3.2m. Also if you need a wider blind you will need a mains wired motor.

Some blackout fabrics can be made extra wide or extra tall, however for large expanses of glass we recommend either vertical blinds or Japanese panels. Basically you can also choose blackout lined made to measure curtains as an option.
