Help with measuring your electric roman blind

Before recording your measurements, please follow these simple steps to ensure your powered roman blind is an exact fit:

  1. Use a metal tape measure for accurate measurements.
  2. Make sure you have a pen and paper ready to record your measurements in centimetres (see below to download our measurement templates).
  3. Take into account any obstructions such as window handles or tiles, etc.

Inside Recess Fit

Take three measurements across the width and height of the recess and use the shortest measurements recorded. Don't make any allowances for the headrail - we'll will fabricate your powered roman blind based on your measurements and allow a 5mm clearance gap at either side to ensure the blind operates smoothly.

Outside Recess Fit

Before taking your measurements, you must decide on how much fabric overlap you would like over the window recess. Take this into account when recording your measurements.

Select Motor position *

Select the motor position

As the blind motor requires power to operate, the motor position will determine where you must mount the battery or solar pack. The motor is positioned at either the left or right side of the blind, with the battery/solar or mains adapter typically located on the same side and connected in place.

As the blind motor requires power to operate, the motor position will determine where you must mount the battery or solar pack. The motor is positioned at either the left or right side of the blind, with the battery/solar or mains adapter typically located on the same side and connected in place.

Help with choosing the motor position for your electric roman blind

Your roman blind is powered using a battery or solar pack and the position of the motor will determine which side of the blind you must mount the battery / solar panel.

Battery pack Solar pack
The battery pack is essentially an elongated tube containing 8 AA lithium batteries that simply plugs into the head of the motor. The battery pack has a short length of cable to make this connection and therefore must be situated within reasonable proximity of the motor head.

 

Most battery packs are mounted directly below & behind the roller blind within the recess or above & behind the roller blind if outside the recess mounted and hidden from view. The battery pack can also be mounted vertically if preferred.

 The solar pack comprises of a slimline solar panel and a rechargeable battery that simply plugs into the head of the motor. The solar pack is supplied with a 'Y' cable to make the connection between the solar panel and battery pack and then to the motor. This cable is approximately 30cm in length and therefore must be situated within reasonable proximity of the motor head.

 

The solar panel is typically mounted directly below & behind the roller blind directly onto the window pane, with the battery pack within the recess or above & behind the roller blind if outside the recess mounted and hidden from view.
Battery pack Solar pack
Select Power supply *

Select your power supply

The solar panel fits to the inside window pane and then connected to the rechargeable battery pack, which simply connects to the motor to provide the power supply.

Single battery pack for a Somfy WireFree powered blind. The battery pack simply connects to the blind motor to provide the power supply.

Rechargeable battery pack for a Somfy WireFree powered blind. The rechargeable battery pack simply connects to the motor to provide the power supply. Once the battery power expires, simply disconnect from the motor, charge back up and reconnect for continued operation.

NOTE: Battery charger supplied separately.

The plug-in power pack provides a permanent power feed to the motor with the power pack taking power from a standard 230V socket outlet and the supply cable connected to the Wirefree motor.

You may not want to select a power supply as an option during the order stage as you may already own a Somfy power supply that is compatible with the Somfy powered blind system.

Warning: only select this option if you already have a Somfy Power Supply
Your electric blind will not operate if you do not have a power supply connected to the motor.

Select Lining *

Select the lining for your electric roman blind

Select this lining option to black out the light from shining through the roman blind fabric.

Select this lining option to keep the dim out characteristic of roman blinds fabrics.

Help with choosing the lining for your electric roman blind

All of our Roman blinds are lined as standard for a real quality finish. We offer two options:

Standard

This is ideal for most windows in the home. It will help prevent the fabric fading in the sunlight and will also provide some additional shading when it’s light outside and you want the blind lowered down.

Blackout

We would always recommend a blackout lining for a bedroom, especially if you are a light sleeper or if you have children who wake once the sun comes up. Blackout linings are also great for providing additional glare control in a home office or if you love a dark environment when watching the TV.

Select Remote control *

        About this blind fabric

        The Opal range is perfect for creating a relaxed ambiance in any room - available in a range of 10 colours. Choose from a dimout or blackout lining when ordering your roman blind.

        Powered by Somfy

        Our roman blinds are powered by Somfy motors, the world leader in motorised blinds products. A range of remote handsets, wireless wall switches and timers are available to provide your preferred powered blind control option.

        The motor on this blind is powered by a choice of wire free solutions:

        1. A plug in battery pack that is mounted behind the roman blind and hidden from view.

        2. A compact solar panel designed to fit behind the blind on the inner window panel and continually charge the battery during daylight. A 12V rechargeable battery pack connects to the solar panel with simple plug in connector. The battery supply cable then plugs into the motor to make the power connection complete.

        Colours reproduced on screen may vary from the actual colours due to the limitations of the printing process. Great care has been taken to ensure that the fabric swatches and the information supplied are correct, however customers are advised to check the suitability of materials before use.
