What types of electric blinds can I get?

Electric blinds are motorised and controlled remotely - whether that’s via a wall switch, remote control, or even your smartphone. Some are mains-powered, while others run on rechargeable batteries. You can even set timers or use smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home to open and close them for you.

They’re great for use in tall windows, hard-to-reach windows like skylights, accessibility, and anywhere you need to adjust the light frequently. (Imagine being able to deal with glare on your computer screen without even leaving the Zoom meeting…)

Electric blinds can be:

• Roller blinds - Sleek and simple, ideal for most rooms

• Vertical blinds - Great for larger windows or patio doors

• Venetian blinds - Control light with adjustable slats

• Skylight blinds - Designed for hard-to-reach roof windows

• Conservatory blinds - Perfect for opening and closing multiple blinds easily

Whether you’re looking to keep out the morning sun or add a modern touch to your space, electric blinds come in a wide range of styles to suit your home.

How long does it take to install motorised blinds?

It depends on your setup, but in most cases, fitting motorised blinds is a same-day job.

For one or two windows, a blind fitter might only need an hour or two. Larger installations (or trickier setups like recessed windows or skylights) can take longer, especially if electrical wiring is needed.

How do you clean remote controlled blinds?

For most types of electric blinds, a regular light dusting with a dry cloth or feather duster is all you need. You can even get cleaning equipment with long poles to get to those blinds in hard-to-reach windows. 

If they’re particularly dusty or in a kitchen or bathroom, here’s how to tackle them:

• Roller or Roman blinds: Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric.

• Venetian blinds (metal or wood): Use a microfibre cloth or specialist blind cleaner to wipe each slat.

• Vertical blinds: Wipe gently with a damp cloth, especially at the bottom where dust tends to settle.

Cleaning your remote controlled blinds is surprisingly simple, and keeping them in good nick means they’ll last longer too.

Always unplug or power off motorised blinds before cleaning. And skip the harsh sprays - a gentle wipe will do the trick.

You can ask your blind fitter for their care tips based on the style and material of your blinds.
