Remote Control Blinds Solutions

October 14th, 2009 | Posted in Battery Operated Blinds

One of the most encountered situation in which homeowners prefer to buy remote control blinds is the one of hard to reach windows such as skylights, stairwell windows, sun tunnels or conservatory roofs. These types of windows are functional and decorative, but sometimes they need to be covered from various reasons. Moreover, in such situations, one can choose to install electric windows systems. These windows come with a set of sensors and with a remote control that make it possible to open and close the windows without toughing them. They may also have automatic rain sensors, just like the ones used in cars to detect raindrops and operate the wipers without the driver’s intervention.
We are going to take a look at several remote control blinds from well-known manufacturers of windows and accessories:

Velux Siesta battery operated electric blinds

This type of battery operated motor is very convenient especially in newly renovated rooms, where you may not want to dig tracks into the walls and redo the painting work again. With battery-operated electric blinds, all you have to do is install them at your windows and change the batteries every now and then. This model from Velux grants about 1000 operations before changing batteries is needed.

The Siesta system can be applied on either roller blinds or Venetian blinds, both types being easy to install at the windows. It’s an average difficulty do-it-yourself job for an amateur, but a true children’s play for more skilled individuals.

Hunter Douglas battery operated blinds

Here we have multiple types of blinds. Actually the operating system can be attached on most models of window treatments, among the most popular being Hunter Douglas Duette with PowerRise, Hunter Douglas Country Woods with motorized tilt and the Hunter Douglas EverWood with motorized tilt.

Comfortex motorized blinds

What I like most at Comfortex are the innovative names they give to their products. For instance, who wouldn’t be thrilled to have Shangri – La Eternity light filtering shadings at their windows? What’s the meaning of eternity in this context? Leaving jokes aside, these shades are really beautiful, with their translucent sheer fabric. Besides, they offer a feature other similar window blinds don’t: they can be raised even if the adjustable fabric vanes are open. If you need such blinds, I’d warmly recommend you to order some color swatches, because the colors are so special that it’s hard to figure out how well they match with your interiors only by looking at the computer screen. If you want, you can order free swatches online from YourBlinds.com.
