Heavy blinds can be operated effortlessly
The weight of materials used in a blind, the height of a person opening or closing a blind and the strength that they use all have a bearing on how easily and smoothly your blinds open. By motorising your blinds you have peace of mind knowing that your blinds will move smoothly and evenly every time, whilst minimising the chances of damage occurring to the blind.
