1.What is the role of electric roller blinds？

In the spring and autumn seasons, sometimes heating is needed, and sometimes cooling is needed. In the summer, as the outdoor temperature rises, the indoor light increases and the temperature rises, so you have to turn on the air conditioner or draw the electric roller blinds. Therefore, it is necessary to use advanced systems for flexible control. Adjustable shading allows users to choose the degree of shading required.

How to choose the electric roller blinds?

Using remote-controlled electric sunshade curtains, lowering the sunshade curtains in summer can effectively block solar radiant energy and reduce the heat load of central air conditioning. Raising the sunshade curtains in winter can also fully absorb solar radiant energy and reduce heating load, thereby saving energy and reducing consumption. 

How Electric Roller Blinds Work? 

Electric Roller blinds work by using a small motor to gently turn the blinds shaft at the touch of a button. 

This effectively allows the blind fabric to roll up or down a vertical window, or across a sky lantern, to shade or uncover the glazing.

1.Super Efficient Motor

Electric blinds are opened and closed by a small motorised unit that turns the tube that the blind is attached to. 

Electric blind motors are extremely efficient, using minimal power to work, and advances in technology also means they are virtually silent too. 

2.Battery or Mains Powered

An electric blinds motor can be powered either by your household mains supply or by D cell batteries. 

In order to to be powered by the mains, your electric blinds will need to be connected via a 5 amp fused spur located close to where the blinds will be installed. 

The battery powered blinds are completely wireless and the batteries simply slide inside a battery tray that sits neatly behind the blind fascia, or within the blind shaft itself.

3.Manual or Smart Controls

There are many ways in which you can control your electric blinds including a traditional remote control handset, a wall switch, via an app on your smartphone or tablet, or by using your smart home operating system. 

There are also options that allow you to automate your electric blinds so that they open and close at set times of the day.

4.Zip Technology

For our Roof Lantern Electric Blinds we use innovative ‘zip’ system which keeps the blind fabric taut and running smoothly, without any sagging. 

This system works by welding a zip to the length of the cloth that then runs along inner channels on either side of the blind. 

This zip ensures that the fabric doesn’t get pulled out of the channel and also makes sure that full screen coverage is achieved with no gaps around the edges.

This is just a simple overview about how electric blinds work.
