Roller blinds are a very popular choice for use in many homes across the country. These window coverings come with many benefits, right from the aesthetic appeal they hold to their versatility, ease of operation and durability.

Motorised come with several added benefits as highlighted. These and other advantages more than justify the extra cost

Convenient Operation

Manually opening and closing your blinds can be a real hassle, and especially if you have many windows. By motorising your blinds, you can conveniently raise and lower the blinds with just the touch of a button on your phone or a remote. You have full control of the operation of your roller blinds right on your fingertips, and you don't have to leave your comfortable spot to go and raise or lower the blinds.

No More Misalignments

With manual operation, you may notice that your roller blinds don't roll up evenly sometimes. Fixing these blinds that are out of alignment will require you to put in some time and effort to ensure levelling. Motorised roller blinds, on the other hand, move into perfect alignment in just one fluid movement. You need not worry about having to straighten the blinds. Misalignments can often cause damage to the material on the blinds, which is why you can expect your motorised roller blinds to last a little longer than those that are manually-operated.

Improved Security

Are you always gone from your home for long periods of time? Do you travel for work or other engagements for a number of days at a time? If your roller blinds stay closed for a long time, then it may tip off outsiders, including potential burglars about your absence. You can adjust the settings for your motorised roller blinds such that they open and close at set times, or even at random times during the day. In the end, no one will be none the wiser, because it will seem as though someone is home.

Motorisation is an option for different types of blinds and shades, and not just for roller blinds. To enjoy these and other benefits, you can buy motorised roller blinds or retrofit your existing roller blinds. You can choose between wire-free, also known as battery-operated motorised blinds and electric motorised blinds. As the name suggests, the former operate from a battery, while the later has a direct power feed during operation.
