Electric Blinds

Without sunlight on Earth there will be no life. As you know, the hormones of happiness are produced by the body when it feels good. And with the light of the sun, there is an improvement in mood and a surge in the production of endorphins. It is also impossible to imagine the beaches and a complete rest by the sea without the warming sun.

But not always and not all useful active sunlight. Many people are allergic to the sun, do not tolerate heat and can not sleep soundly if daylight penetrates the room. Fortunately, today this problem is easily solved by installing advanced electric shutters on the windows. Everyone already knows about the design of mechanical blinds, but it is worth dwelling on the topic of an electric drive.

Special features

Automated blinds make curtain window control easy and almost instant. One touch of a button and comfortable shading in the room is provided.Such a convenient device saves time and saves energy for more important things.

It may seem to someone that this is an unnecessary invention, because it is not at all difficult to manually open or close window electric shutters. This is reasonable, but with oversized windows, their small number and when they are at an accessible distance. There is certainly enough chains and cords.

And if the windows are panoramic, large in height or are in places with difficult access, then it is difficult and even rational to do without electrically operated blinds. Especially when the blinds are located outside the window, on the facade.

Equipping the folding shutters with an electric drive allows not only to remotely adjust the height of their lift, but also to adjust the intensity of sunlight.

The possibility of good shading of the room in the hot season helps to save on air conditioning.

Device and technical characteristics

The design of electronic blinds is: eaves, canvas and electrical system automation. In motion the canvas is driven from the remote control. Installation of an electric type drive is possible on all types of mechanical blinds.

Electronic blinds differ in several ways:

To destination

Intended for installation on windows and doors indoors. For outdoor installation on facades, in door or window openings. Such type of blinds is intended not only for protection against the sun, but also from hooligan actions of vandals.

Usually this is a horizontal metal blinds, equipped with electric. With technical goals. For example, on the grille for ventilation output to adjust the level of ventilation.

By type of construction

There are the following types:

  • Horizontal, have a different device: with moving down - up, with turning strips of blinds, shielding from the light, retractable in a cassette or sweat-gathering type of accordion.
  • Vertical, collected in a cloth from the separate lamels moving to the right-to the left and moving apart in the parties. Slats can be rotated 90 degrees on their axis.
  • Rolled - in the form of a solid blade with a special shaft, with a function of lowering and raising along the window aperture.
  • Pleated Curtains, moving upwards and, conversely, folding when closed with an accordion in one strip.
  • Day-night curtains - symbiosis of tissues with a dense and transparent texture. They can be made in a vertical layout, when one part is made of transparent matter, and the second is opaque, shifted both to the right and to the left. And in a horizontal configuration, on a roller, when the outer and inner blades move relative to each other, adjusting the level of illumination.
  • Blinds Rollerscovering the openings of windows from the street side, used as a barrier from outsiders on the windows of buildings for any purpose.

Electric blinds with electric drive greatly facilitate the life of the disabled and the elderly.

At the disconnected electricity of blinds it is possible to regulate manually.

Kinds

Today blinds are presented in the following options:

Horizontal models

Equally good in homes and office interiors. The type of blinds differs in the design of the product, consisting of:

  1. Cord winder.
  2. Devices for adjustment of lamellas (level of turn and tilt).
  3. Electric motor
  4. Radio (in some series).

Electric motors can differ in appearance, which makes it possible to create electric shutters with horizontal lamellae made of various materials.

A set with automatic curtains usually come with special brackets for the possibility of fixing blinds to the ceiling, wall surface or in the window opening.

Vertical

In rooms with a high level of ceilings, such structures are installed most often. The drive consists of two electric motors, one displaces the lamella vertically along the bottom, and the second rotates the lamellae. Each of them has a limit switch and provides auto power off when overload occurs.

Each of them has a limit switch and provides auto power off when overload occurs.

Rolled

Most often installed on the windows of office or residential premises. They can be controlled by group scheme and individually. The electric motor is hidden in a pipe with a diameter of 32 to 90 millimeters, depending on the weight of the material of the curtains and their dimensions. Due to the different diameters, the curtains of the roll type are made with different designs and are not limited to standard sizes.

Pleated Blinds

The canvas with such a device is formed by folds in the open curtains.To mask these folds in the device has a special profile. Pleated blinds can close the window entirely from outside gazes from the outside and penetration of light rays into the room. Curtains with a similar design favor the original interior design.

At the same time, the configuration of window openings is not fundamental.

Shutters

These are protective shutters that are used as an external window fence in buildings for any purpose. Their task is to protect against the penetration of too bright light and uninvited guests into the room. Automatic control with such a device is very useful, as it eliminates the need to go out to adjust the shutters.

The advantages of automatic models

Windows can be transformed by such functional devices. And on the lower floors they will be a salvation from curious eyes from the street. The advantages of electric blinds a lot:

  • Silent Transformation.
  • Economical power consumption.
  • It is possible to install on the opening window sashes.
  • Increased manufacturability.
  • Adjust the appropriate level of lighting.
  • Schedule function.
  • No need to approach the window.
  • Structural strength.
  • A variety of colors in the design.
  • An impressive range of models.
  • Several functional species.

Disadvantages:

  • Do not work automatically with power off.
  • Difficult in manual maintenance mode.
  • It is necessary to periodically maintain.
  • Exceed at cost analogs with mechanical manual control.

Application in the interior

Blinds with horizontal and vertical slats are successfully used in the design of various openings and partitions in various rooms. Determine the type of design required in each case can be based on the configuration of window or door openings. For complex forms of windows, curtain-pleated curtains are traditionally chosen, and vertical blinds are mounted on standard ones.

It is in high demand for plastic windows and rolled structures due to the compact design, the possibility of mounting directly on the frame or glass, and combinations complete with curtains and fabric curtains.

Installation of rolled electric shutters is appropriate in different types of premises: residential buildings, nightclubs, beauty salons, offices or medical offices.In openings with an inclination, for example, on skylights or a glazed roof, models are installed that are equipped on the sides with guides tightly pressing the canvas to the glass, excluding vibration and louver vibrations with the doors open. This design can tightly close the opening.

The outdoor version of the blinds is made of aluminum alloys in the form of slats, directed horizontally and painted with a special composition. In these designs, the electric drive is an integral part of the configuration. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to cope with a massive structure, especially in cold weather with snow and rain.

For the external closing of the window opening, roller shutters are installed, which are wound on a shaft placed in the duct. They serve as protection against intruders entering the room through a window. Rolling shutters are relevant on summer verandas of cafeterias, on terraces, in rooms with panoramic windows. They are mounted on the facade of the building, but from the inside the design remains unchanged and is not cluttered with any devices.

They have a universal design, which allows the lamellas to work not only on raising and lowering, but also to turn.If the sun shines too brightly, the curtains are closed, turning the slats, leaving access to the light, but changing the direction of its flow.

Electric shutters can be not only protective, protecting against the intense sun and uninvited visitors, but also technical.

Electric blinds of small size are mounted in ventilation systems located in areas with problem access. Operation of air intake grilles located on the facade of the building is also difficult without automatic equipment.

In this case, the louvers control the flow of air and prevent dirt and natural sediments from entering the ventilation ducts.

Automation eliminates the need to close and open them manually, all manipulations are performed on command with the buttons from the remote control. In any weather - in the heat or frost, such a device will not bother to go beyond the threshold of a cozy home. Remote-controlled blinds are a valuable acquisition for creating comfort for yourself and loved ones.

Reviews

The expediency of using electrically controlled blinds in everyday life has long been proven by numerous consumer reviews.Those who actually could appreciate their work, note the simplicity of control and functionality of the device. The electric drive facilitates the life of people with disabilities, is widely used in crowded offices, large mansions and private offices modest in size.

Even children cope with the control with the help of a convenient and simple in design console. Housewives, young mothers and everyone who appreciates comfort and new technologies fell in love with remote control of rollers. Due to the electric drive, aluminum alloy shutters were pressed from the windows of the grille. Increasingly, pleated curtains and models prefer day-night to traditional curtains. Automation rules in homes, and manages all this, appreciating progress and protecting itself from unnecessary inconvenience.
