[PRODUCT_NAME] Cassette Boxes & Shelving

The [PRODUCT_NAME] Electric Roof lantern blind boasts a symmetrical look with easy to clean cassette boxes at both ends. Inside the cassette boxes, the engineering brilliance of the [PRODUCT_NAME] Electric Roof lantern blind is hidden away from dust, flies and view allowing it to blend into your lantern’s upstand. (White is standard but any RAL colour can be offered).

At one end of your [PRODUCT_NAME] roof blind is the 110mm² cassette headbox. This conceals the 80mm motor tube and has sufficient room for up to 3.7m of fabric to wrap around it. Unlike pleated blind systems that concertina at one end gathering dust, your chosen [PRODUCT_NAME] fabric is always protected when not in use. At the other end of your blind is the 110mm² tension box. This contains two patented tension springs that provide the power to keep your chosen fabric taut via hidden steel cables. These combined tension springs increase the power on your fabric from 20-24kg as your [PRODUCT_NAME] electric roof lantern blind deploys. When your roof blind is in the closed position the tension springs are offering their maximum output. The result is a fantastic fabric finish without visible cords for wider and longer lanterns which would not be achieved with smaller roof blind systems.

The shelving is a critical part of the [PRODUCT_NAME] roof blind system. The powder-coated L-angle profiles allow the electric roof lantern bind to sit squarely within your opening even when your lantern opening is not truly square (after the final skim your lanterns opening is rarely truly square) It also ensures there is no light ingress around the sides. The shelving at both ends is 170mm in depth. This allows the heavy-duty hem bar to disappear above the shelf at both ends keeping a uniform look with just the fabric on show. The side shelving supporting the systems side channels are a slim 50mm.

[PRODUCT_NAME] Side Channels 

The [PRODUCT_NAME] electric roof lantern blind has slimline side channels 28mm wide supported by the 50mm shelving. They play an integral part in the ‘no visible wires’ [PRODUCT_NAME] electric roof lantern blind system as the 1mm steel cables used to withstand the power of the 12kg tension springs are hidden inside both side channels. The zipper ribbon technology is welded to the edges of your chosen blind fabric creating a very strong join. The zipper ribbon is securely held and prevented from being pulled out of the channels. It allows the blind to run freely and quietly along these channels whilst returning the fabric squarely onto the motor tube every time it is used.

[PRODUCT_NAME] Hem Bar & Crush Brush

The [PRODUCT_NAME] aerodynamic heavy-duty 75mm hem bar has been designed to perform not simply look good. The heavy-duty hem bar has excellent fixing points with the fabric and can withstand the power being produced by the [PRODUCT_NAME] tension springs. Lesser hem bars used at this size would risk bowing under their weight, bending under the forces or simply being ripped from the fabric. Its rigidity contributes to the final cloth finish.

The grey fussy brush on the end of [PRODUCT_NAME]’s heavy-duty hem is also known as the Crush Brush. It creates a seal between the hem bar and the tension box when your blind is closed. It also allows it to close quietly to avoid the sound of metal on metal. Grey is standard but sometimes black is used when maximising room darkening. White is only permitted when using a white screen fabric as it lets considerably more light transmit through it.

[PRODUCT_NAME] SOMFY Motors

Not all SOMFY motors are equal and can be used in our specialised roof blinds. Due to the power created by the [PRODUCT_NAME] electric roof blind, only a motor with sufficient torque can be selected. This allows your blind to defy gravity and travel horizontally at a controlled speed whilst maintaining tension on the fabric.

The [PRODUCT_NAME] Electric Roof Lantern blind uses a SOMFY Radio Transmitted Signal (RTS) motor as standard. This allows you to control your blind using a remote-control handset or remote-control wall-switch. The [PRODUCT_NAME] SOMFY RTS motor is compatible with the SOMFY Tahoma Switch which offers a simple gateway to smart living.

Alternatively, hardwired Somfy motors can be used on request which will allow compatibility with existing home automation systems such as Lightwave, Control-4 & Luxon

Touch Control (Radio Technology RTS)

The standard Somfy motors for the [SIZE] [PRODUCT_NAME] 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 roof lantern 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.

Tahoma’s Timer settings can automatically open and close your roof blind at pre-set times.   Natural light in the morning for breakfast but closed in the evening for cosy family time.  

In addition, the Sunis IO Sensor can talk to your Tahoma.  If there is too much direct light passing your lantern your roof blind fabric will close.  This intelligence ensures that when you get home your living space has been kept cool from the summer heat without you having to give it a second thought.

This is a must for customers who are concerned about the fading of their wooden flooring and furnishing from sun damage.

Still not impressed?  The Tahoma is compatible with third-party devices such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant & Apple Homekit to allow you and your family to use voice control to operate your blind
