About our hardwired blinds
Hardwired electric blinds are best used in situation where you are at the building or renovation stage and can still decide where you place your electrical connections.
Why hardwire in new build or renovation?
At this point you also have greater control of how you would like the blind concealed and this allows you to have greater control of how the room will ultimately look and function. If you haver a number of blinds in the same room you can ensure that they rise and fall at the same speed. If you are not looking to add any new wiring you can still mains power the blinds from existing wall sockets, but you will need cable trunking to hide the wires. We think rechargeable battery blinds would be the better solution here.
