Using power generated from a small photovoltaic panel mounted on the exterior frame of the window or door , the W Smart operates completely independently of a home ’ s mains electricity supply . The ‘ free ’ solar energy from the sun ensures a rechargeable battery is continuously charged-up to give the integral blind more than sufficient electricity to operate it under normal conditions .
Available in a Venetian or pleated style , as with all Uni-Blinds ® the W Smart is manufactured exclusively using the world-renowned ScreenLine ® integral blind systems to guarantee superior long term performance and excellent aesthetics . It is simple to operate using a slide touch button control device magnetically attached to the window or by a remote control unit , both of which raise and lower the blind – and , in the case of the Venetian , tilt the slats .

W Smart represents the latest in innovative and ecological Italian design , providing an integral blind that can be encapsulated within a 20 , 22 , 27 or 29mm cavity double glazed unit . The blind does not require hardwiring into a home ’ s mains electrical system , which makes installation straightforward without the need for an electrician .
Ian Short , Managing Director of Morley Glass said : “ Never before have homeowners been so conscious of electricity usage which means that energy efficient and 100 % renewable energy powered products are in great demand . The beauty of the W Smart is that it can operate totally free of mains power apart from a very occasional boost using a micro-USB connection , giving homeowners the benefits of a motorised integral blind without adding to their electricity bills .”
Another exciting development of W Smart , due for release early 2023 , is a
|
smart home enhancement . A new plug and play smart hub called ScreenHub ®, developed by ScreenLine ® manufacturer Pellini , enables the blind to be controlled using a |
smart phone app – a further benefit in addition to the remote control device already provided .
The eco-credentials of W Smart can be enhanced further through the manufacture of the double glazed units by Morley Glass using advanced glass products that offer superior thermal insulation and solar control . Specifying glass such as Planitherm One for W Smart blinds will deliver a complete integrated solar powered blind unit with ultra-low U-values , and solar control can be boosted by choosing Saint-Gobain COOL-LITE SKN 176 glass to prevent summertime overheating .
