Motorized Blinds and Drapery – A must for your home

In today’s world of automation where most functions of life are done at the press of a button and almost all gadgets in the house are run on remote, it is but natural that we do not have to pull up the blinds or move the drapery manually. The effort involved in doing so has been eased. Welcome to the world of electric blinds and motorized drapery.

Let us first take the case of electric blinds. They come in a wide range of sizes and colors to suit your tastes and match the décor of your room. The company that will install the electric blinds will usually have an exclusive range on offer. However if you have a manufacturer you like and would want to use their product, you can do so and the company will use it in the motorization process. Similarly, you may also have your existing blinds installed.

The slats of the electric blinds are of different sizes ranging from 1” to 3” and are made of aluminum, wood and faux wood. They have motorized lift and motorized tilt systems. The functioning of the electric blinds depends on the power source used in its operation. For example, if 2” blinds are battery operated they will have a tilt only movement and have to be manually lifted.

The power source for electric blinds may be battery, AC or low voltage DC. The first may be used at places where running wires cannot be used. AC is the best option as the motor can be directly plugged into the wall outlet and even two side by side electric blinds can be installed. Low voltage DC motor can be run with a transformer plugged into the wall socket. This is useful when the electric blind is small.

Let us consider motorized drapery. The fabric may be purchased from any drapery store or your existing one may be used. The track on the top where the drapes move will be motorized. The power source will be AC or low voltage DC. Drapes may cover a large picture window or may be used to segregate a big space into two. The motor is placed on the rails behind the fabric.

Another touch of convenience that can be added is the remote controlled options. Add this to control the blinds and drapes and you do not have to even get up to operate them.
