Luxaflex — motorised & smart home: what we look for
Motorised blinds are no longer a premium bolt-on — they're the sensible default for tall windows, hard-to-reach conservatory roofs, bi-fold stacks, and any home already running smart lighting or heating. What matters is choosing the right power source, hub and fabric for the room rather than the flashiest app.
- Rechargeable battery motors (12–18 month cycle) suit retrofit installs — no chasing walls or lifting flooring.
- Hard-wired 24V motors are the right call at new-build stage or during a full refurb, and remove battery-charging altogether.
- Hunter Douglas PowerView, Somfy TaHoma and Luxaflex hubs all integrate with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit — we set up the room scenes on the day of fitting.
- Solar-sensor and schedule automation genuinely reduces conservatory heat gain and bedroom morning wake-ups — the room use case decides the trigger, not the other way round.
What to think about for Sandgate
- How long the luxaflex will last — we guarantee the product for life and the install for 5 years.
- What the lead time is — typically 6–10 weeks from order to fit for luxaflex.
- Whether the price includes fitting and disposal of the old dressings (it does).
- How the colour or fabric will look in their actual room rather than a showroom.
Some luxaflex jobs we've done locally
Café-style luxaflex for a Sandgate front room
Privacy at street level without losing the daylight up high — half-height café shutters in a satin white finish, fitted within 12mm of the glass.
Coastal luxaflex for an exposed window
Salt and wind ruled out timber — we used an ABS-waterproof range and a side-channel cassette to stop the fabric rattling.
Tier-on-tier luxaflex for a Sandgate sea view
The customer wanted privacy at street level but the view untouched above — tier-on-tier was the answer.
