 Electric curtains for curtains

In the modern rhythm of life, a person is accustomed to surround himself with practical and comfortable objects that greatly simplify his life and save time. Modern fashion for large panoramic windows brought to life a device for the convenient operation of some types of curtains - electroeaves.

Where to use?

Today, a person tries to maximize his daily life and, of course, electric curtain rods make controlling curtains much more comfortable. But it is necessary to figure out where such a system will be in place, and in what cases it is necessary to abandon this purchase.

Electric curtain rods fit perfectly:

  • in rooms with large window openings in public places (museums,ceremonial halls);
  • premises, window openings in which are located at a height or with blocked free access;
  • retail space, as well as places designed for catering in a modern style, equipped with large spacious windows;
  • private houses or mansions with high ceilings;
  • rooms equipped with curtains of heavy dense fabrics.

At the same time, it is not necessary to install eaves with electric control in standard small apartments or small houses with standard window openings, since this will only bring inconvenience of use. In such cases, it is better to install the usual curtain rods and manually control the curtains.

Kinds

Given the variety of modern curtains, for each type of canvases there is a different type of electric curtain rods:

  • Electric sliding frame installed on curtains moved in the traditional horizontal direction. Sliding curtains can move both in different directions, and to the center. If the curtain canvases have significant weight, then the electric carriage can be equipped with several engines;

Management options

Automatic eaves are improved every year. However, methods of controlling systems, as a rule, remain unchanged.

A fixed control system is standard. Its essence lies in the fact that buttons are installed on the wall, similar to a conventional switch, with which the control takes place. Technically, the system is equipped with several switches that regulate the direction of movement of the curtains. As a rule, such a system is installed close to the eaves structure itself, and it rarely has a programming function.

The stationary system is most common today and the easiest to use.

Electrically controlled curtain rods using the remote control is by far the most versatile and modern system. Adjustment of curtains is carried out using a special remote.In addition, the system can be equipped with sensors that react to various external stimuli.

One type of remote control is the “smart home” system. To date, it has not gained popularity in the Russian market, but in the future it will become an integral part of any home.

The essence of management is to automatically create a cozy atmosphere at home, depending on external stimuli.

A mixed system allows you to control the canvases both electronically and manually in the event of a power outage or a malfunction of the mechanism itself.

Selection features

If you decide to equip the house with electric control curtains, you should think about what you should pay attention to when choosing a system.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to engine power, because it is the rate of movement of the curtains that directly depends on this indicator. Engine power should be directly dependent on the weight of curtains. So, if the curtains are made of thick and heavy fabric weighing more than 50 kilograms, you should choose an engine with a power of 100 watts. For standard curtains, this figure is from 45 to 70 watts.

The choice of a control system for electric screens is also important. If you prefer remote control, pay special attention to the functionality of the remote control, as well as the power of the batteries.
