Custom Motorized Blinds Downtown Whitby – Free Installation

Usually that is the easy part. A motor tube wants around 45 to 50 mm of depth and old casings often give twice that, which lets the blind sit well back from the sash. The catch is the charging port at one end of the tube. It has to stay reachable, so we set the motor end toward whichever side of the window you can get a cable to.

Radio goes through plaster and lath without much trouble. Through a brick chimney breast, or between floors where old lath sits on metal mesh, the range drops off. In practice one remote covers a floor and often the one above it. Where it does not, a second remote paired to the same motors costs less than a repeater and saves you the walking.

Yes, and in an old house it is often the better answer. A battery keypad sticks or screws to the wall beside the light switch, needs no wiring behind it, and controls the same motors as a remote. It suits a room where a handset would live on a windowsill and get lost. You can run both, since the motors accept several controllers. Our 3-year warranty covers the mechanism either way.

Not from outside. The motor sits inside the tube, so what a neighbour sees is the back of the fabric and the same bottom bar. What does show is position. Motorized blinds tend to sit at matched heights because limit stops set them rather than hands do, which usually makes an old streetscape look tidier rather than less.
