Made-to-Measure Motorised Blinds in Crowthorne and Sandhurst, Berkshire

Enjoy effortless control, greater convenience and modern style with made-to-measure Motorised Blinds in Crowthorne and Sandhurst, Berkshire.

At Blinds and Awnings UK Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of motorised and electric blinds, professionally measured and installed to suit your windows and individual requirements. From simple remote-controlled blinds to fully automated smart home systems, we can help you find the right solution for your home.

Motorised blinds are particularly popular for large windows, bi-folding doors, patio doors, extensions and hard-to-reach windows, providing convenient control of light and privacy at the touch of a button.

What Are Motorised Blinds?

Motorised blinds are powered window coverings that can be operated electronically instead of manually.

Depending on the system selected, your blinds can be controlled using:

  • Remote control
  • Wireless wall switch
  • Smartphone or tablet
  • Compatible smart home hub
  • Voice control with selected smart home systems
  • Automated schedules and routines

Motorisation provides a clean, contemporary solution that is particularly useful where windows are difficult to reach or where multiple blinds need to be operated together.

Smart Motorised Blinds for Your Home

For customers looking for a fully connected home, we can offer compatible Somfy Smart Hub and Louvolite Hub solutions.

Smart motorised blinds can allow you to control your window coverings through a smartphone app and, depending on the system, integrate them with your wider smart home setup.

You can operate individual blinds, groups of blinds or create routines to automatically open and close your blinds at selected times.

This provides greater convenience while helping you manage privacy, daylight and solar heat throughout the day.

Battery-Operated Motorised Blinds

Battery-powered motorisation is an excellent option where you want electric blinds without the need for mains wiring.

The motor and battery are discreetly incorporated into the blind, providing a clean installation without the disruption associated with running electrical cables.

Depending on the product and system selected, batteries can provide several years of operation before requiring replacement or servicing.

Battery motorisation is particularly suitable for:

  • Existing homes
  • Extensions
  • Conservatories
  • Bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Large windows
  • Hard-to-reach windows
  • Properties where wiring is impractical

Motorised Blinds for Large Windows & Bi-Fold Doors

Large areas of glazing can look spectacular but manually operating wide or multiple blinds can be inconvenient.

Motorised blinds for bi-fold doors, patio doors and large windows provide effortless operation and can be particularly useful in modern extensions and open-plan living spaces.

Multiple blinds can also be synchronised, allowing you to operate several window coverings together using a single control.

Motorised Blinds for Better Privacy & Light Control

Motorised blinds make it easy to adjust your window coverings throughout the day.

You can lower your blinds when privacy is required, reduce glare from direct sunlight or open them to allow natural daylight into your home.

Automated schedules can also help you maintain consistent privacy and light levels without having to manually adjust each blind.

Motorised Blinds & Home Security

Motorised blinds can form part of your wider home security routine.

When you're away from home, automated schedules can open and close blinds at different times, helping create the appearance that your property is occupied.

Remote control also allows you to adjust your blinds while you're away, depending on the motorisation system selected.

Motorised blinds should be considered as one part of a wider home security strategy rather than a standalone security system.

Energy Efficiency & Motorised Blinds

Motorised blinds can also help you manage sunlight and heat entering your home.

Closing blinds during periods of strong summer sunlight can help reduce solar heat entering a room, while opening blinds during sunny winter days can allow natural warmth and daylight into the property.

The energy-saving benefits will depend on factors such as the blind fabric, glazing, orientation of the window and how the blinds are operated.

  • Motorised Roller Blinds
  • Motorised Vision Blinds
  • Motorised Pleated Blinds
  • Motorised Honeycomb Blinds

We recommend cleaning your Awning at least twice a year; Once before using it in the summer and again before you’ve rolled it up for winter, we also recommend wiping the metal components and fittings twice a year with a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water.

Can Awning Be Used in Winter?

  2. We recommend minimal use of the Awning throughout winter
  3. we also recommend removing the decorative fabric valance and storing it somewhere dry until the warmer weather returns.

Are Awnings Wind and rainproof?

  1. Although water resistant and durable, our retractable Awnings are not designed for heavy rain as this can pool on the fabric and substantially increase the Awning’s weight.
  2. We strongly recommend leaving the Awning fully retracted on windy days or during heavy rainfall.
