What is the difference between electric and smart blinds?

Our electric blinds are powered by Somfy's marketing leading motorised technology. When fitting your blinds your local advisor will install a small, hidden motor unit that is connected to a remote handset, letting you control your blinds with the simple touch of a button. If you choose to make your electric blinds Smart, you'll still be able to use the remote, but will also have the option to control your blinds with a mobile app or via voice command. The Somfy Smart Hub gives you even great flexibility to control the light, privacy and security by connecting to your Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or mobile phone so you can control your blinds even when away from home. Somfy's motorised and smart technology is available on Roller, Roman, Day & Night, Faux Wood and Wooden Venetians, and Pleated Roof blinds.

Can my Roman blinds motorised?

You can effortlessly open and close your Roman blinds with a simple remote control, and make your life at home more convenient. Motorised Romans are ideal for windows that are out of reach or that are difficult to access

Can you get blackout Roman blinds?

Our Roman blinds are available with a blackout lining that will help reduce light levels in your room.

Are your Roman blinds lined?

All our Roman blinds come lined as standard. Alternatively, you can choose a Blackout lining, or if you would like a fuller, more luxurious look, choose our interlining option. Interlining adds an additional layer of insulation as the lining is bonded with a polyester cotton face and polyester wadding on the inside, which is designed to enhance the appearance of the blind, and also adds a thick layer of insulation. The wadding increases the insulation properties of the blind by up to 21% when compared to a standard lining.

Can I have a Roman blind in my bathroom?

Roman blinds can be used in bathrooms. However, if your bathroom gets especially steamy, or if your window is close to the sink or bath, we would recommend another product, like Moisture-resistant Roller blinds.

How do Roman blinds work?

Roman blinds are created from soft, fully-lined fabric that neatly folds up when opened to provide a streamlined alternative to a curtain. They create a luxurious look that’s often a good choice for smaller windows, or where there isn’t much space around the window. Roman blinds are a sleek option for larger windows.

Can you pair Roman blinds with curtains

Combining Roman blinds with curtains is a simple way to create a fabulous focal point. Choose different shades of the same colour for a cohesive design, or mix it up with a combination of plains and patterns. Layering in this way helps create darker environments, ideal for bedrooms, especially if blackout linings are chosen for both products. There are also energy efficiency benefits to layering - draughts will be reduced and the room will be cosier when both blinds and curtains are closed. Matching cushions and tie backs can be made to coordinate or contrast with your window dressings.
