Custom Motorized Blinds Unionville – Free Installation

Anything that rolls on a tube: roller, zebra, and most cellular shades built on a lift system that accepts one. Roller tube motors handle up to roughly three metres of width, which covers nearly every residential window. Drapery runs on its own motorized track rather than a tube, and vertical blinds use different track hardware again. We go window by window at the measure and tell you which ones are worth doing.

In most cases yes, because old growth casing timber holds a screw better than new pine does. A motorized roller is heavier than a manual one by the weight of the motor and battery, so brackets go into wood, never into plaster alone. Where a casing has been replaced with something thin, we fix into the framing above the opening or add a mounting board. That gets checked before we quote the window.

The handsets we supply can be locked with a key combination, which stops a curious six-year-old cycling the blinds through dinner. It is not a permanent setting and anybody who watches you unlock it will manage it themselves. The more durable fix is a second handset kept somewhere sensible and the first one out of the room. Nothing a child does with a remote can harm the motor, for what it is worth.

A motorized blind goes up no slower than a manual one, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes a window once the brackets are marked. There is no wiring, so the only dust is from four screw holes per blind and we bring a vacuum for it. What adds time is the setup afterwards, since each motor gets its limits set and paired to a handset, and we walk you through it rather than leaving a manual on the counter.
