Buyers Guide for Electric Blinds

What are Electric Blinds?

Electric Blinds are made from the same fabric as our other blinds, but feature a rechargeable motor inside the headrail that allows you to raise and lower your chosen style via the touch of an app. They have automated functionality too, offering further convenience for operating your blinds when you’re in a rush or already out of the home.

What are the Different Types of Electric Blinds?

We have the following styles of Electric Blinds available:

  • Roller Blinds – Made from a practical fabric, our Electric Roller Blinds are perfect for kitchen windows with their easy to clean and durable properties
  • Twist2Go Roller Blinds – Our Twist2Go Electric Roller Blinds feature a no drill mechanism that installs your blind in as simple as 1, 2, 3 to provide shading and automated light control in an instant
  • Roman Blinds – Automation and beauty combined, Electric Roman Blinds gather into neat folds similar to their traditional counterparts and look ever so luxurious
  • Day & Night Blinds – Electric Day & Night Blinds are designed with your privacy in mind, with a variety of Zebra Blinds and Double Roller Blinds to explore

How Do Electric Blinds Work?

These blinds work through a rechargeable battery motor that’s located inside the headrail. If you’re wondering how to adjust Electric Blinds, simply ensure that the motors power switch at the side is set to ‘on’, then through the Tuiss SmartView app, adjust them to raise and lower to your desired height. You can also drag the blind up and down on screen, allowing you to gain further precision on their placement.
