Custom Motorized Blinds Downtown Barrie – Free Installation

Almost always. A two panel balcony door in these buildings runs comfortably under three metres, which one tube motor handles in a single blind rather than a pair meeting in the middle. Mount height is the thing to settle. Bring the head above the door trim and the bottom bar clears the handle, so the shade is not being raised every time somebody steps out for air.

On most current motors, yes. Speed is a setting rather than a fixed property of the hardware, and slowing a shade down makes a wall of glass look considerably better when three of them run at once. It also draws less current, so the charge goes further. The trade-off is that a three metre drop then takes the better part of half a minute, which people notice on a shade they run in a hurry.

Partly. The upper and lower limits are set in the motor at install and a normal remote cannot change them, so a shade will not run past where you put it. Day to day operation stays open to whoever holds the handset, which is what a tenant needs anyway. If there is a hub and app involved, keep the admin account yourself and hand over the remote.

Rarely. A closed shade against sunlit glass sits well above room temperature on a July afternoon and the motors are built for it, but a motor running repeatedly while hot will pause to cool itself. If a shade stops partway on the hottest days and behaves again by evening, that is what you are watching. Dark fabric faces hold more of that heat than pale ones.
