Motorised blinds from Comfyshade are powered by a motor that opens and closes the blinds using either a remote control, or ComfyShade Smart Controller. A motor and battery is installed in the headrail which communicates with the remote or app. By following the guide which comes with your blind, you are able to set a top and bottom limit and stop the blind at any point in the middle to let the perfect amount of sunlight into your home!
To give you the most flexibility, we have created two options for purchasing your motorised blinds:
- Motor, Remote and Charger - Buying your first motorised blind? This is for you. Simply select the package option on the product page.
- Motor only - Remotes can be used for up to 10 blinds per each of 5 channels . By purchasing the motor only option, you can use accessories from your previous ComfyShade purchase with your new blind. Our accessories can also be purchased individually here.
A user-friendly guide will be included with your purchased product. You can also view these guides in the relevant product category here.
Motorised blinds offer convenience, ease of use, and better integration with smart home systems. They are ideal for hard-to-reach windows, improve safety (especially for homes with children), and can be programmed for automation.
Motorised blinds are available in various sizes and styles, so they can be installed on most window types, including bay windows, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Our motorised blinds are battery powered and a professional electrician is not required for installation.
Battery life depends on usage and the size of the blinds, but on average, our rechargeable batteries can last between 3 to 6 months before needing a recharge.
A red light will show to indicate that your blind is charging.
