A few years ago, motorization and automation were almost exclusively reserved for businesses and wealthy people, as motorized blinds were rather expensive. The demand for these products is growing. This has allowed for the further development of technology to create motorized blinds and has brought down the cost of motorization. It has also allowed everyone to be able to buy affordable motorized blinds!

Another benefit of motorized blinds is that it reduces the cost of heating. Imagine the power of programming your blinds to close when the sun is too strong in the summer or to open in the winter to let the sunlight in. So having motorized blinds in your home is a great way to lower your heating costs while increasing your comfort and simplifying your life!

Motorized blinds are very similar to traditional blinds. The motor is discreetly located in the aluminum roll of the blind. The different types of motorization are separated into four main categories; 1-the motorized wand, fixed to the blind itself you only have to press a button to make the blind go up or down. 2-the battery motor, which is the most popular type of motorization, it must be recharged periodically to operate properly (9-12 months of autonomy). 3- the battery motor, but with solar recharge. The operation of this type of motorization requires the installation of a solar panel that captures daylight to help recharge the motor. In case of lack of light, you can also recharge the batteries with an electric charger. 4- the wired motor, with stripped wire and pre-wired for a terminal to connect to an electrical box. For this option, an electrician is required for the installation.
