Any blind can be a motorised blind

Any blind can be motorised, even angled conservatory blinds, only we won’t do that because it’s more trouble than it’s worth. So apart from that, all other blinds can and will be motorised by us. That includes blinds you already have installed. Roller blinds, Roman blinds, Vertical blinds and Venetian blinds can all become motorised blinds.

Here at Blind Technique, we’re one of the few suppliers in the country to offer motorised Allusion blinds. And excuse the humble brag, but, as far as we’re aware, we’re the only ones who can provide our customers with motorised cellular Perfect Fit blinds. How is that even possible? Since we manufacture our own blinds on-site, our Tech Director had a muck about in the factory and figured out how to do it. Yes, our customers are lucky to have us.

Motorised blinds are the safe option

Motorised blinds are the safest option when it comes to children and pets. There are regulations and laws when it comes to the length of a cord on a blind. It must be 1.5 metres off the ground, to ensure small children don’t become entangled and hurt themselves. There have been deaths, which is why there are now laws about it.

However, this can be an issue for the more petite amongst our customers. As stated, the length of the cord is required by law, so we are prohibited from lengthening the cord for you. In this case, motorised blinds may be a necessity for you.

By having motorised blinds, you can also avoid damaged and snapped cords. Whether it’s children trying to swing on the blinds or Madame Coco the chocolate Burmese making herself comfortable on the window sill, you won’t have to worry about members of the family damaging your blinds once they’re motorised.

You can choose how to operate your motorised blinds

Once you have your motorised blinds in place, you have options on how you wish to control them. A remote control can be programmed to control your blinds separately or for groups of blinds to be controlled together. Alternatively, if you are bringing your home up to scratch Smart wise, you can program your blinds into your Smart Home hub. It’s likely the motors and your hub will be compatible, but if not, there’s likely to be a relay device available to make it so.

You’ll also be able to control your blinds via an app on your chosen device. Whether you need to check if you left a blind open, or wish to control your blinds when you’re away, you’ll be in full control of your motorised blinds.

The two disadvantages of motorised blinds

The benefits of having motorised blinds far exceed the two issues they might cause you. The first is, if they’re battery-operated, you will need to charge them. This is easily resolved. Just put a note in your diary to charge your blinds twice a year, and you’ll never find yourself with a stuck blind. Alternatively, you can have your motorised blinds hard-wired.
