Electric Curtains and Blinds

Automatic Curtains

Motorised curtains and Sun Protection systems

Smart electric curtains and blinds are becoming more and more popular in today's home but it is not just because of smart home advancements, although voice activated systems like Google and Alexa are becoming common place now. We are also seeing a need for our aging population who want to make life easier at home, especially with heavy curtains or awkward to reach blinds, automation is a perfect way to help with this. But there are other benefits to automating your window dressing like security simulating that someone is in the property using timer systems, controlling room reverberation, blocking out light, maintaining room temperature or creating scenes with other products and saying to Alexa "movie night" or "house wake up" in fact the only limitation to the benefits these systems can offer is our thinking on how we can use them. In the Raex electric curtain rail range we have a collection of solutions to suit most applications and necessities. The motor capabilities are designed to be effortless and quiet in operation and the range delivers uncompromising functionality to give that touch of luxury expected from innovative technology. As well as remote control the curtains can be gently tugged to open or close. There is no complicated programming as the track and pole systems are self-setting and all have the Soft Start and Soft Stop feature to add that bit of class to your home. The latest developments in technology has seen the introduction of the Raex WiFi electric curtain track system which is controlled directly off your phone and therefore no need for an additional smart hub. The system gives you feedback to tell you if the curtains are open or closed, wherever you are in the world. They are completely compatible with Alexa and Google assistant and in the event of a power cut the curtains can be operated as if a manual system, simply by pulling them to open or close.

Home and Building Management systems

Building management systems (BMS) like Loxone, Rako, KNX, Control4, Lutron, Crestron, and many others offer significant benefits by enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and security in smart homes and commercial buildings. These systems provide centralised control of lighting, heating, cooling, and security, reducing energy consumption and operational costs. They also enable automation and remote access, allowing seamless adjustments and monitoring. By integrating various functions, BMS improves convenience, contributes to sustainability, and ensures a tailored, user-friendly environment.

In a Nutshell

Automated sun protection is a perfect addition to the modern-day home or office. No longer seen as the exclusive luxury of the elite, remote control motorised curtains or blinds offer a tangible solution to blind cord safety issues and as previously mentioned those hard to reach areas.

With technological advances in battery development it is now even possible to have curtain or blind motors with built in batteries and radio receivers. Flexible, simple to install, no battery pack or wands, no visible wires and more importantly no need for an electrician. With this comes the added benefit of easy retrofitting without the need for chasing walls or damaging decoration.

Home Automation plays a big part in today’s society, with more and more business and domestic users opting for a system that can be controlled via a Smart system, iPad or iPhone. It is no wonder that more home owners are looking at this as a considered option because surveys have suggested that electric curtains and blinds can increase the saleability of the property as well as providing that little bit of comfort in the process. Modern day technology is nothing to be concerned about for electric window coverings, time has proven their reliability and with current advancements, particularly the WiFi controlled options, they can be set up to pretty much work by themselves based on the scenario you want to set up. Through using Home Automation applications for your curtains, romans, or roller blinds you can help control building temperature and simulate occupancy for security by setting them to open and close automatically. Motorised curtains, in particular, can actually shut a whole room down at the push of a button and reduce the echo sometimes incurred in new or renovated properties letting you control the acoustics.

It is important to be innovative with a product range to give more options for the customers experience, which is why we are always working in the background developing new products and features based on customer feedback.

The Raex range of motors can be integrated discretely from view, with solutions that don't require any interference to your Interior decorations or Soft Furnishings. Our design team would be delighted to advise on solutions to suit your application, please feel free to contact us.

In today's fast-paced world, technology continues to revolutionise our daily lives. One area that has seen remarkable advancements is home automation. Smart hubs, in particular, have emerged as central devices that integrate various smart home devices. Among their many applications, they are being used to control electric blinds and electric curtains, offering homeowners convenience, energy efficiency, and enhanced security.

The Raex USB Gateway serves as a nerve centre, allowing users to control multiple devices from a single interface. When it comes to electric blinds and curtains, smart hubs provide a seamless and intuitive way to manage these systems. With just a few taps on a smartphone or using a voice command, you can effortlessly open or close blinds and curtains, adjust the level of natural light, and create personalised schedules for different rooms.

One of the primary advantages of hubs for electric blinds and electric curtains is the convenience to the user wherever they are, you do not need to be in the home to use one. Imagine waking up in the morning and having your blinds automatically open to let in the sunlight. Or arriving home after a long day to find your curtains drawn, creating a cozy ambiance. The Raex USB Gateway enables these experiences allowing homeowners to operate their blinds and curtains from anywhere in the world, using their smartphones or voice assistant products like Alexa and Google.

Energy efficiency is another crucial aspect that smart hubs bring to electric blinds and curtains. By integrating with sensors and other smart devices, they can automatically adjust blinds and curtains based on environmental factors such as sunlight intensity and room temperature. This helps regulate indoor temperature and reduces the reliance on heating or cooling systems, resulting in energy savings.

Smart hubs are revolutionising the way we interact with our homes, particularly in controlling electric blinds and curtains. With their ability to provide accessibility, energy efficiency, and enhanced security, these hubs offer users a new level of comfort and control over their living spaces.

The range of remote controls possess intelligent features, such as the intermediate position, Timer function and single or grouped control to operate your electric curtains and electric blinds together or individually. There is a varied range of Handheld or wall mounted options to suit every application. You may be thinking this all sounds very good but how much does it cost, well you may be quite surprised how affordable it is.

All our products are supported by a wide range accessories to suit your personal requirements. This is particularly important with Audio Visual systems offering a varied array of integration possibilities giving the customer complete autonomy in their choice of AV interface and the possibilities to connect with virtually all home smart systems.
