Discover 3 Common Mistakes Made When Choosing Bi-Fold Door Blinds & Sliding Door Blinds.

1 - Bi-fold doors and sliding doors tend to be much larger than other windows, yet the engineering of the electric blinds stays the same. Unfortunately, this opens the door to long-term issues with the blinds. Speaking to a specialist about large electric blinds is one of the best decisions you can make.

2 - Expecting a fabric designed for privacy to have the high-performance required to manage glare and heat when the sun is at its brightest. Watching TV and enjoying the space is compromised. Recognising the link between fabric choice and how you want to use the room spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S.

3 - The extension, renovation or new house is well on its way. However, many of the preferred options to conceal the blinds are no longer possible. There is often additional spend on blinds that could have been avoided. Plan early and you will be able to reap the rewards later.

Touch Control (Radio Technology RTS)

The standard Somfy motors for the large Venus electric roof blinds use radio technology.  This enables you to have a choice between a remote handset or a wireless wall switch included in your investment

A simple press of a button on your chosen remote control device sends out a radio wave signal to operate your blind.  You don’t even need to point the handset at your roof blind.  The radio waves are omnidirectional and operate to a range of over 15 metres in any direction.  

Somfy radio technology utilizes a rolling code with 16 million combinations to ensure that RTS communication is both safe and secure.    This ensures that your controls will not interfere with other radio-controlled products in your home or adjoining neighbours.
