Integrated home automation solutions for all your window blinds
Whether your project involves automatic blinds for sliding glass doors, automatic blinds for bifold doors, or a big gable or lantern roof, you can integrate our custom made blinds with large automation systems.
Our expert installers have been trained on a wide range of automated systems to ensure the experience is seamless for our customers whichever platform they use. So. Why are automated blinds such a good idea anyway?
Automatically adjust your blinds as sunlight and the weather shifts to regulate your room temperature and reduce your energy costs.
Programme your blinds to open and close automatically at specific times to help protect your home.
Synchronise your blinds with your other home automation systems including Somfy, Lutron, Creston or Rako.
No cords or chains to cause problems with kids or pets… Plus much easier for hard-to-reach blinds.
From Alexa and Google to your smartphone, automated blinds can be controlled remotely, wherever you are in the world.

Our blinds are compatible with a wide range of systems.
Somfy motors can be integrated with most home automation systems, such as Lutron® Home Automation, Control4, Crestron Electronics® & Rako Controls®.
Our puresoloâ„¢ remote control is designed for areas like conservatories and orangeries where there is a significant amount of blinds, and can connect to a majority of control systems using our own AV connection module.
We use a Somfy RS485 RTS transmitter to connect to the home automation system via radio signal. For control of a single blind, we can also use a Somfy Dry Contact Transmitter to connect to the home automation system.
For a non-wireless connection method the Somfy WT (Wired Technology) has been used for many years to connect blinds to a home automation system. We can also use the more modern Sonesse 40 RS485 digital motor to connect a large number of blinds to a home automation system without the need for multiple data wires.
When we install blinds that are to be connected to a home automation system, we will fit the motorised blinds with their own control handset. We use this to ensure the blinds are operational before our installer leaves. NOTE: Your home automation engineer will need connect the blinds to yours system.
At Specialist Blinds, we know every project is unique. Request a consultation with one of our expert sales consultants to get started today.

Great service with close attention to detail. Installation was as scheduled to exact specification and carried out with great care. Not the cheapest quote we had but excellent value for money nevertheless. Would recommend.
The blinds have made our conservatory so much more useful all year around. Less glare and heat in the summer and more insulated in the winter. They look great too. The service was super, they answered all our questions and provided excellent advice.
Really pleased with my electric blind over my lantern. Excellent company and a big thank you to James for fitting it so efficiently. I highly recommend.
Four easy steps to creating your perfect blind with us
As no two projects are ever alike, we treat each project individually. Typically we work with clients in four phases:
A consultation visit to help you make your design and technology choices. Our sales consultants will take you through every step, so you can understand exactly how the blinds will be built and why.
An in-depth, in-home survey to make sure the measurements are precise
We make your bespoke blinds at our factory in Ashford, Kent (come and visit!)
The fitting appointment when our expert installer fits them precisely, just for you.
