At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of premium electric blinds in Surbiton 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.
Electric blinds are no longer a luxury, they’re an intelligent evolution in home comfort, design, and energy performance. In Surbiton, where classic Edwardian and Victorian homes sit alongside contemporary extensions and modern apartments, motorised blinds provide the perfect balance between convenience, efficiency, and aesthetics.
At Controlux, we design and install bespoke electric blind systems in Surbiton, engineered to respond to how you live. With over 35 years of experience across South West London, we combine craftsmanship with innovation, delivering shading solutions that are both technically advanced and beautifully made.
Electric blinds, also known as motorised or automated blinds, are window coverings powered by discreet motors, controllable via remote, wall switch, smartphone apps, or voice assistant. They integrate seamlessly with home automation systems like Lutron, Somfy, Crestron, and Google Home, making them a cornerstone of modern interior design.
Unlike traditional blinds, electric systems offer:
In a connected home, electric blinds are not just convenient, they are part of a larger ecosystem of smart environmental control, improving energy use, privacy, and wellbeing throughout the day.
Surbiton’s architecture is increasingly defined by open-plan layouts, garden extensions, skylights, and bifold doors. These features fill homes with natural light but also bring challenges like glare, heat gain, and privacy loss.
Electric blinds offer a seamless solution that adapts to the area’s evolving lifestyle and design standards. They are particularly valuable for:
With the growing adoption of home automation in Kingston and Surbiton, electric blinds are rapidly becoming a defining feature of energy-efficient, design-led living.
Electric blinds aren’t just convenient, they deliver measurable performance gains.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 18% of household heat loss occurs through windows. Smart blinds programmed to close during cold nights or open on sunny winter mornings can reduce energy usage by 10–20% annually, depending on building orientation and glazing type.
For south- and west-facing rooms, solar sensors can automatically lower blinds during intense sunlight, preventing overheating. Research by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) shows that automated shading can cut cooling energy use by up to 40% in summer months, a significant benefit for homes with large glass extensions or bifold doors.
Beyond efficiency, automation enhances security and wellbeing:
Electric blinds aren’t just about convenience, they are a dynamic tool for comfort, energy management, and sustainability.
