Roller Blinds — 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.

- Reveal depth at all four corners — most Hythe period reveals are out by 5–15 mm.
- Existing trickle vents and how the dressing will clear them.
- Window operating direction — top-hung, side-hung, sash — to choose the right fixing.
- Headroom above the frame for cassette systems or stack-back on bi-folds.
