The magic of electric window blinds
Electric accessories make many things around the home more convenient, including garage doors and remote-controlled lighting and heating. But blinds are no different and in fact, electric window blinds can make homes more comfortable and accessible. At RW4Y, we have an extensive selection of FAKRO Z-Wave electric roof window blinds. Whatever your requirements, you’re sure to find the ideal electric blind to complete your home. Explore the magic of electric window blinds and how they can simply but effectively upgrade your home below.
What sets electric window blinds apart from traditional blinds
Electric window blinds provide the same benefits as manual blinds, with the added advantage of remote control. This makes them an efficient solution for homes with windows in hard-to-reach areas such as high roofs and alcoves.
How do electric window blinds work?
Runners at the sides of the blinds enable you to adjust the position, from a complete blackout to full open exposure.
Electric window blinds are designed to complement electric windows, but they also work brilliantly with and enhance manual windows. When installed on a manual window, a remote control and power supply are required to operate electric blinds such as the ARF I Z-Wave 051.
What are the advantages of using electric window blinds?
Installing blinds enhances the functionality and aesthetic appearance of your roof windows. Some of the further benefits include:
Very sleek
The simple and minimal design of electric blinds makes them an inconspicuous addition to home interiors – with no unnecessarily bulky fixtures.
Easy to operate
Remote operation means that electric blinds are particularly useful for homes with difficult-to-access windows. They’re also ideal for residents with limited mobility who struggle to reach for manual window blinds.
Various colour options
FAKRO’s Electric Blackout Roller Blind comes in various colours, from neutral shades of bright white and pebble grey to more colourful options including navy and honey yellow.
Protection from intense sunlight
Z-Wave and Solar electric roof window blinds help you better control the amount of light entering your space by blocking out intense sunlight as and when needed.

How do you maintain electric window blinds?
Maintaining electric window blinds is a similar process to manual blinds, except extra care should be taken around the electric components.
Lightly wipe the surface of your electric blinds with a feather duster or soft cloth to remove any dust. If you find more stubborn dirt buildup on your blinds, wipe them down with a damp cloth. Always use warm water over harsh cleaning products and chemicals to avoid damaging the material.
