Automatic motorised blinds represent the future. As daily tasks are increasingly being controlled via smart technology and apps, the way we operate our window and door dressings is developing. Single blind or simultaneous motorised blinds management is achievable with minimal effort.

When you choose blinds consider the following:

• Is the installation for a commercial or domestic application?
• How many windows are being dressed.
• Which materials you wish to use.
• Which direction you want the blind slats to rest in.
• What’s your budget for the project?
• Are you confident with technology?
• Is security a primary concern?
• The image you hope to present. Professional, relaxing, contemporary, rustic.
• Are the blinds to be representative of your personality or a company logo or colour?
• The degree of light you want to shut out.
• The level of privacy that’s required.
• Do you have any odd sizes, shapes or locations to consider? This shouldn’t be an issue for leading installers.
