At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of premium electric blinds in Richmond and surrounding areas of South London, to suit all homeowners and their unique styles.
As technology continues to transform our homes, electric blinds have emerged as one of the most elegant and efficient ways to enhance comfort, privacy, and energy performance, without sacrificing design.
In Richmond, where traditional architecture meets cutting-edge design, homeowners are increasingly investing in motorised blinds that deliver quiet precision, smart-home integration, and effortless control.
At Controlux, we design and install bespoke electric blind systems in Richmond that respond to the way you live. With over 35 years of experience in shading systems across South West London and the Home Counties, we offer solutions that are aesthetic, reliable, and engineered for performance.
Electric blinds (also known as 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.
Richmond is a borough that values design integrity and lifestyle quality. From Georgian terraces and Edwardian villas to riverside penthouses and passive new builds, its homes are increasingly outfitted with floor-to-ceiling glass, skylights, and open-plan layouts; features that maximise light, but also require more sophisticated control.
Electric blinds offer an ideal solution for:
With Richmond’s growing interest in home automation, sustainability, and design-led comfort, electric blinds are quickly becoming a standard feature in premium interiors.
While convenience is a major selling point, the true value of electric blinds lies in their performance impact:
Energy Efficiency- according to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 18% of heat loss in UK homes occurs through windows. Smart blinds can be programmed to lower during cooler nights and rise during sunny days, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems.
Smart solar sensors and thermostatic integration can further optimise performance, creating a dynamic thermal barrier that responds in real time.
UV and Glare Protection- south-facing windows, common in many Richmond garden extensions, can lead to overheating and sun bleaching. Electric blinds can be automated to deploy during peak sunlight hours, protecting:
Enhanced Security- Motorised blinds can be programmed to open and close on a schedule, simulating occupancy while you’re away, a feature often requested by Richmond clients who travel regularly or own second homes.
We offer a wide range of electric blind systems that can be customised by fabric, mechanism, opacity, and control method. Whether you’re fitting out a heritage refurbishment or a high-spec new build, we provide:
Motorised Roller Blinds that are simple, sleek, and versatile, perfect for large glass doors or minimalist interiors. Choose from blackout, dim-out, or sheer fabrics.
