Battery motorised Blinds Dublin

At First Choice Blinds we offer two types of electric blinds – a battery / solar powered remote control blind and a mains powered remote control blind. All of our types of electric blinds make operating a roller blind incredibly easy. At the touch of a button you can raise, lower and even pre-programme stop places to hold the blind at different heights down the window.

The possibilities with a motorised electric blind are virtually endless. The motor can be battery powered, meaning it can be installed anywhere without the need to hardwire it. For those locations where a charging lead just would not be practical, we offer a solar panel charger option which will trickle charge the battery. The cable length for both types of charger is 2m in length.

Alternatively, the blind can be powered by mains electricty, either wired directly into the mains or plugged into an outlet allowing you to span wider widths and easy use for higher installations.

How Electric Blinds Work

The motor is tucked inside the barrel of the blind, meaning it is a clean and simple installation with no excess parts to consider. The motorised blinds require a remote control to operate them (sold separately), and it is possible to use a single remote to control up to 12 blinds simultaneously or individually.

The remote will connect to the motor inside the blind once you’ve followed the programming instructions. After which, the motor will know where the top of the blind is and where the bottom is, allowing you to simply hit the button and it will work without over-spooling itself.

At At First Choice Blinds our electric motorised blinds also have the ability to set stop points down the window which means if you press the button once it will go to the first stop point, which maybe a quarter of the way down the window, for example. Press the button again and it can go to the next stop point, which could be halfway down the window. This level of programming is useful for limiting direct sunlight throughout the day but still allowing some daylight in.

How To Charge Battery Electric Blinds

To keep your blind running smoothly, you’ll need to top it up with power from time to time, no different to your mobile phone, but thankfully nowhere near as often! In fact, on a full charge you can expect your blind to work seamlessly for up to 6 months on standard usage. On each battery operated roller blind product page you’ll see that we offer a choice of the blind coming with a standard charging wire or a solar panel charger.
