The Uni-Blinds® W Smart integral blind system is enabling homeowners to benefit from the convenience of a motorised shading and privacy solution for their windows and doors without the need for hard-wiring during installation.
Using power provided by a rechargable battery, the W Smart operates independently of a home’s mains electricity supply. The rechargeable battery is charged-up occasionally using a micro-USB cable 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: “The beauty of the W Smart is that it can operate totally free of mains power apart from an occasional recharge using a micro-USB connection, giving homeowners the benefits of a motorised integral blind without the need to disrupt their decor during installation.”
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.
W Smart is incorporated into double and triple glazed units manufactured 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.
W Smart, as with all Uni-Blinds®, is supplied in the industry’s shortest lead times – manufactured to order in Leeds by Morley Glass in as little as 10-12 days, when an order is placed by 10am on Thursdays, with complimentary nationwide delivery.
