Custom Motorized Blinds Erin Mills – Free Installation

Yes, and it is the setup we program most often in larger houses. Blinds on the main floor go to one channel and the bedrooms to another, so the evening command closes the ground floor without touching a room where someone is already asleep. A third channel can hold the high foyer glass on its own. One remote carries all of them.

Sometimes. A window on an exterior wall below an accessible attic can be fed from above with no patching at all. A main-floor window in a two-storey house usually cannot, and then it is either a small drywall repair or a battery motor. We look at the ceiling access before quoting the wired option so nobody is surprised.

With a motorized roller, and with a measurement taken from a ladder rather than guessed from the floor. Foyer glass in these houses often runs five or six metres up, and the drop is the constraint rather than the width. Anything over about 3 metres wide gets split into two motors that move together. We set the travel limits so both hems finish level.

They help at the margins. Blinds that close automatically at dusk put an extra layer over the glass through the coldest hours, and in a house built in the seventies or eighties that glass is usually the weak point. Cellular fabric on the motor does more than a plain roller. The saving comes from consistency, since nobody remembers to close every blind every night.
