Thinking About Electric Blinds? Here’s What You Need to Know.
Electric blinds — also known as motorised blinds or smart blinds — are quickly becoming one of the most popular window treatment choices for homeowners across the UK. And for good reason.
Whether you have tall apex windows, hard-to-reach skylights, or simply want to enjoy the convenience of automation, electric blinds are an elegant, practical, and energy-efficient solution.
🔌 What Are Electric Blinds?
Electric blinds are blinds that can be raised, lowered, or tilted using:
- A remote control
- A wall switch
- Or a smartphone app (with optional voice control via Alexa, Google, or Siri)
They come in roller, cellular, venetian, and pleated styles — and can be powered by mains electricity, rechargeable batteries, or solar panels.
🏡 Best Windows for Electric Blinds
Electric blinds work beautifully in:
- 🪟 Apex or angled windows
- 🛏️ Bedrooms (ideal with blackout fabric and timers)
- 🧼 Bathrooms or kitchens where cords would get in the way
- ☀️ South-facing windows to reduce solar glare
- 🪜 High windows or skylights that are out of reach
For custom-shaped or apex windows, we supply made-to-measure motorised blinds that fit perfectly and glide effortlessly — even on angled tracks.
⚡ Are They Hard to Install?
Not at all.
We offer both:
- Hardwired electric blinds (perfect for new builds or renovations)
- Battery-powered or solar-powered blinds (ideal for retrofitting)
Our team will assess your window, recommend the right power solution, and professionally install everything — with zero mess or stress.

💡 Pro Tip: Combine Electric Blinds with Curtains
Want the ultimate setup? Pair motorised blinds with stylish curtains for layered comfort and style.
