The Difference Between Electric Blinds and Motorised Blinds

You've likely heard the terms "electric blinds" and "motorised blinds" used interchangeably, and it's a very common point of confusion. The key difference is subtle but important. "Motorised blinds" is a broad category that simply means the blind has a motor, which can be powered by either batteries or a mains electricity supply.

We specialise in new generation rechargeable, battery-operated blinds. These ultra-quiet motors mark a revolution in window coverings, being completely wireless with no electrical wiring or wall channelling required. This makes them perfect if you're looking for a quick installation, have a conservatory or extension where routing cables is impractical, or live in an older home without pre-installed wiring. You won't need an electrician, which saves you both time and money. Because there's no visible cabling or trunking needed, your blinds will maintain a beautifully clean, uncluttered look – ideal if you value modern interiors with hidden technology and minimal design. You can have them fitted virtually anywhere, even on windows far from a power source. If you have children or pets, battery blinds offer a safer option as they eliminate dangling cords entirely. The modern lithium battery packs hold their charge for months (or even a year, depending on how often you use them) and recharge easily via USB or solar options.

Alternatively, if you prefer a completely hands-off solution, our electric blinds are powered directly by your home's mains electricity. This gives you continuous, reliable power, so you'll never need to think about replacing or recharging batteries. It's the ultimate in convenience and longevity—a true fit-and-forget addition to your home.

Our expert team handles everything for you, ensuring a seamless and tidy installation with all wiring neatly concealed (*an electrician is required for installation of the power supply and final sign-off). You'll enjoy a clean, elegant finish and benefit from a more powerful motor that's perfect for larger blinds, delivering smooth, quiet operation at the touch of a button. You'll have complete control over light and privacy, allowing you to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.
