Automation Made Easy
Quality Automation of your Awnings & Blinds
Product Overview
When you are designing your home, there are many aspects that need to be considered. One of the most important, however, is window treatments. Whether you want to block out light or provide privacy while still allowing views through the windows, blind motorisation and awning automation are a great option. With different styles available for both hard-wired and battery-operated systems, these products can fit any budget and any space in your home!
Blind motorisation and awning automation offer a convenient and aesthetically pleasing solution for windows that are either too high or out of reach. With the motor concealed within the tube of the blind, these blinds provide a quiet and discreet operating system with minimal disruption to your home environment.
Blind motorisation offers complete control over your blinds or awnings with the push of a button. The sensor technology can even retract your awning when it is too windy outside, and light sensors will lower the intensity of your lights in response to changes in ambient lighting. As these products have no cords dangling from them, they are perfect for anyone with small children who might be tempted to play near them!
With the U Blinds range of automated blinds and awning automation for both internal and external applications the options are truly endless!
