These blinds can also be controlled via smart phone app or smart home devices like Alexa or Google Home.

Motorised blinds can be a safer option than standard blinds as these completely free of any cords or pull systems. This means that for young children and pets, the risks and hazards associated with standard blinds simply don’t apply, and you can install these in any children’s bedroom or family space without worry.
Motorised blinds help protect your space from sun damage
Sun damage can be detrimental for any room, with furniture, walls and ornaments becoming bleached by the sunlight and faded. By using motorised blinds, you can specify times when the blinds should be open or closed, and by changing this to match the sunlight causing damage in your space, you can ensure that your blinds will open and close automatically when needed, even when you’re not at home.

When you are away from home for extended periods of time, home security can be under threat. With motorised blinds, you can operate your blinds from wherever you are, or you can use the timer system, to make sure that your blinds open and close at key points throughout the day.
