The biggest advantage of the ScreenLine ® W Smart solar-powered motorised integral blind from Morley Glass is being able to complete the installation without the need for an electrician , according to feedback from Uni-Blinds ® installers .

The W Smart can add a ‘ wow factor ’ to any home thanks to the way the smooth , quiet brushless motor raises and lowers the blind , and – in the case of Venetian blinds – tilts the slats . The motor is powered by a rechargeable battery that is charged , not by a mains power supply , but through a small solar panel mounted on the external window or door frame .

The Venetian or pleated blind can be encapsulated within a 20 , 22 , 27 or 29mm cavity double glazed unit making it suitable for virtually any type of window

or door . Easy to operate , W Smart is supplied with a small remote control device , as well as a stylish battery module featuring touch keys to move the blind up and down . It can also be controlled using a smartphone app thanks to the development of a new plug-and-play smart hub called ScreenHub ®.

What may be bad news for sparkies is great news for window fitters who are able to complete the job for the customer independently , without the hassle of having

to coordinate their work on site with other tradespeople . No hard wiring is needed as is usually the case with motorised blinds

of all types , not just integral blinds , and this is the main reason why W Smart installers say they like the product .

Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass said , “ W Smart was designed initially as an eco-friendly system which would provide end-users and homeowners with a motorised integral blind without burdening them with additional electricity consumption . And whilst that continues to be a massively appealing benefit of this system , installers and their customers also tell us that they love the fact it can be fitted quickly , so the installation can be done and dusted in a matter of hours .”

Venetian blind versions of W Smart are available in the latest contemporary colours launched by ScreenLine ® and exclusively available from Morley Glass . These include black ( B160 ), two cool new greys – agate grey ( S120 ) and slate grey ( B158 ) – and a new dual coloured slat that is anthracite grey on the outside and white inside .

Like all Uni-Blinds ® integral blind systems , every W Smart unit is made to order by Morley Glass at its Leeds factory . Customers benefit from complimentary delivery and receive their integral blind units within the industry ’ s shortest turnaround times – orders received by 10am on Thursdays are usually delivered in just 10-12 days .
