Custom Motorized Blinds Caledon East – Free Installation

The motor is fine at normal room temperatures, but the space between a lowered blind and south facing glass in a sunroom is not a normal room. It can climb well past 50 degrees on a July afternoon. That heat shortens a lithium battery's working life more than it hurts the motor itself. In a room like that we fit a plug-in motor where power is reachable, and choose a lighter fabric so less heat gets held at the glass.

Yes, as long as the opening is under about three metres, which most two panel sliders are. One motorized roller across the whole doorway is cleaner than a pair meeting in the middle. The thing to settle at the measure is mount height. Bring the blind out onto the wall above the trim and it clears the door handle, so nobody is raising the blind every time they step out to the deck.

Yes, and it costs very little. A second or third remote is paired to the same motors and carries whatever channels you want on it, so the one in the mud room can run only the back wall while the one by the chair runs everything. Each handset is introduced to the blinds individually at setup. Adding one later means a minute at each motor, which is why we ask how many you want on the day.

In practice, no. Blind motors transmit on 433 MHz in short bursts and only when you press a button, and they receive nothing the rest of the time. Driveway sensors and alarm contacts share that general band but use their own coding, so neither one sets off the other. If your alarm has magnetic contacts in the window frames, mention it at the measure so we place brackets clear of them.
