At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of premium electric blinds in Kingston and surrounding areas of South London, to suit all homeowners and their unique styles.
Electric blinds are no longer a niche upgrade or something reserved for ultra-modern houses. In Kingston, they’ve become a practical response to how homes are being designed and used today. Open-plan living, large glazed extensions, rooflights and taller windows all look great, but they’re much harder to manage with manual blinds.
Electric blinds that Kingston homeowners choose today are about control. Light, heat, privacy and even energy use, all managed quietly in the background. At Controlux, we design and install bespoke electric blind systems that are built around real Kingston homes, not generic smart-home trends.
With more than 35 years of experience working across South West London, our approach blends technology with building knowledge. The result is blinds that work properly, last longer, and don’t feel like a gadget you’ll stop using after a few months
Electric blinds, sometimes called motorised blinds are window coverings operated via remote control, wall switch, smartphone, or smart home systems such as Lutron, Somfy, Crestron, or Google Home.
Unlike manual blinds, electric systems offer:
But not all electric blinds are created equal. At Controlux, we deliver systems that are not only smart, but strategically designed to complement your space, your lifestyle, and your building’s thermal dynamics.
Kingston has a very mixed housing stock. Victorian and Edwardian homes sit next to post-war properties, riverside apartments and new builds with expansive glazing. Many older homes have been extended with glass-heavy kitchens or rear additions, which introduces new challenges.
Common reasons people in Kingston choose electric blinds include:
Electric blinds Kingston clients install are often about solving a problem, not showing off technology. Many people come to Controlux after living with glare, heat or awkward windows for years and realising manual blinds just aren’t cutting it anymore.
Convenience sells electric blinds, but performance is what makes them worthwhile long-term.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 18% of heat loss in UK homes happens through windows. In homes with large glazed areas, the impact is even greater. Electric blinds can be programmed to close at night to reduce heat loss, then open during sunny periods to take advantage of passive warmth.
In summer, solar gain becomes the bigger issue. South and west-facing glazing, common in Kingston extensions, can push internal temperatures up quickly. Automated blinds with timers or sun sensors can reduce heat build-up before a room becomes uncomfortable.
Other measurable benefits include:
These changes might feel subtle day to day, but over a year they make a real difference to comfort and running costs.
Not all electric blinds are equal. Poorly specified systems can be noisy, unreliable or visually intrusive. Controlux focuses on designing systems that suit the building first, then the technology. Our options include:
Motorised roller blinds- Clean and minimal, ideal for large windows, bifold doors and modern interiors. Available in sheer, dim-out or blackout fabrics.
Electric Roman blinds- A softer look combined with modern control. Popular in bedrooms, bay windows and period homes where texture matters.
Electric Venetian blinds- Tilt for precise light control or raise fully for open views. Available in aluminium, wood or faux wood finishes.
Electric rooflight and skylight blinds- Designed for hard-to-reach glazing. Can be linked to timers, temperature or rain sensors where required.
Electric curtain tracks- Smooth, quiet systems for wide openings, media rooms or statement windows. Often integrated into lighting scenes.
Systems can be wired or battery-powered depending on access, layout and how much automation is required.
Controlux electric blinds can be fully integrated with:
We offer both wired and battery-powered options, depending on the location, access, and level of control required.
