As the motorisation of blinds are becoming more affordable and commonplace in both the workplace and domestic environments, we can offer most varieties of blinds in automated options which can be controlled remotely.
Particularly useful for larger scale commercial environments, our robust range of blinds can be motorised to control your solar shading at the touch of a button. Our systems are suitable for a range of commercial environments such as offices, education, industrial, hospitality and leisure, healthcare, restaurants and bars, or local authorities.
Motorised control of your commercial or industrial blinds will allow quick control of the amount of sunlight entering your facility, creating either a comfortable working environment for staff or ambient relaxation environment for customers. For ease of use (as well as making a big impression) multiple electric blinds can be controlled from one switch, either independently or all together at once.

Benefits of Motorised blinds in commercial environments
- Good for inaccessible or difficult to reach windows (warehouses, hospitality, galleries)
- Ease of use when many blinds are operated frequently (offices and restaurants)
- Ease of use where all blinds can be opened at once
- When safety from pull chords needs consideration (nurseries and healthcare environments)
- Durability and cleanliness from reduced touching
- Privacy at the touch of a button (boardrooms and meetings)
Motorisation options
Motorisation can either be battery-powered by 12v, or they can be hard wired electric blinds of either 24v or 240v, depending on the size or weight of the blind and requirements. We can also integrate your blind control into popular intelligent automation systems for ease of use.
You can choose from:
- handsets
- wall switches
- timers
- sensors
- AV systems or smartphones
Battery powered blinds can be achieved through a simple solution such as a rechargeable battery which sits behind the blind, or an environmental solution such as solar power. This option can help you to meet your corporate social responsibility obligations and utilises a slim photo voltaic solar panel which delivers constant power to the rechargeable battery, even when the weather isn’t at its best and cloudy.
Motorisation control is available across our complete selection of commercial blinds, offering automated control with the added benefit of reducing your energy consumption as well as improving productivity and efficiency.
