What is roller blinds with a motor

Affiliate material. Roller blinds or fabric roller blinds are a modern solution for shading a room and for covering it from prying eyes. Such systems are installed with fabrics of different transparency. From almost sheer to completely opaque blackout fabrics. And the choice of textures, patterns and colors is simply huge.

So, what are roller blinds and what are their advantages.

All fabric roller blinds with an electric drive consist of a shaft with a motor installed inside it. A strip of fabric is wound around the shaft, corresponding to its width (and the width of the window). When the engine is turned on, it rotates with the shaft. Depending on the direction of rotation, the fabric is wound onto or unwound from the shaft. At the same time, it goes down or up, closing or opening the window.

There are two types of roller shutters:

• Cassette. The roll is hidden in a special cassette and cannot be seen from the outside. They look a little more aesthetically pleasing and less dust gets on the fabric.

Advantages of motorized roller blinds

Ekaterina, our interlocutor from the company prokarniz.ru, spoke about the main advantages of electric roller blinds:

• Compactness. They go down along the window and take up no more than 5 cm indoors. Often attached directly to the window frame.
• Possibility of hidden installation. The roll with fasteners is mounted in the recess of the suspended ceiling and is not visible from the room.
• Simple installation. To install an electrically controlled roller blind, just tighten a few screws. Despite the fact that it is not difficult, it is better to entrust such work to a specialist. And during installation, dust does not form, as when drilling concrete, brick or drywall.
• Quiet work. Due to the fact that motors for roller blinds are installed inside the shaft, the noise from them is extinguished and is almost inaudible in the room.
• Remote control using a wall button, remote control or an app on your tablet or smartphone. When operating from your phone, you can set the system to automatically open and close on a schedule.
• Large selection of fabrics, including day / night with adjustable light transmission.
• The ability to simultaneously shade all windows in a conference room or other room.
• Suitable for roof windows. In this case, in addition to the system itself, guides are installed on the window frame along which the curtain moves. The same guides can be installed on regular windows. This ensures a better fit of the fabric to the window and a high degree of protection from sunlight.

In cases where it is undesirable or impossible to lead electrical wiring to the motor, it is better to install roller blinds on the battery. It is advisable to do this, for example, on opening sashes or if the repair has already been completely completed in the room, and it is undesirable to drill the walls.

At the same time, prices for roller blinds are very reasonable.
