Electric Blinds and More!

Affordable Electric Blinds and Curtains

What could be better than the versatility and simplicity of operating your blinds and curtains in your home with a single touch? 

Trying to watch TV and the glare from the sun is annoying? Need to open the curtains for some more light whilst reading in bed? Perhaps you're going on holiday and want to open and close your blinds daily back home?


All of our electric blinds have a number of control options, from simple remote-control handsets and wall switches to home hub integration that enables you to control your blinds through your mobile phone, or tablet, from anywhere in the world.

Simple controls

For increased security and ease, we can integrate your electric blinds and curtains to open at your requested time and automatically close at twilight.

Programme your blinds to open and close when you're on holiday or during daylight hours to keep your rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The choice, and control, are yours.

To make life even easier, your blinds can operate via Alexa or Google. Don't want to get up or have messy hands? Simply say your command and watch the magic happen. 

Most of our electric blinds are powered with a rechargeable motor, so no electric cables get in the way or cause an eyesore. The motor only requires charging approximately every 6-9 months. Simply charge the motor battery like you charge a mobile phone and forget about it for months to come, it really is so simple.
