At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of premium electric blinds in Wimbledon and surrounding areas of South London, to suit all homeowners and their unique styles.
Wimbledon homes are known for their character. From period terraces near the Village to contemporary extensions filled with glass, properties here often blend tradition with modern living. As homes evolve, so does the way people think about comfort, privacy, and energy use. Electric blinds have quietly become one of the most practical upgrades a homeowner can make, even if it doesn’t always seem obvious at first.
At Controlux, we’ve been designing and installing tailored shading systems for over 35 years across South West London and the surrounding areas. That experience matters. Not just for fitting the blinds, but for understanding how each property behaves throughout the day. How the sun tracks across the front rooms, where heat builds up in summer, and where privacy becomes more important after dark.
Electric blinds are no longer just a luxury feature. In many Wimbledon homes, they’re becoming part of the way modern spaces are designed from the start.
Electric blinds (also known as motorised blinds) are window coverings operated via remote control, wall switch, smartphone, or smart home systems.
The obvious benefit is convienience; compared to manual blinds they offer a smoother and more refined experience. You can: control several blinds at once, set up a schedule for them to adjust throughout the day without manual intervention and it removes the need for cords completely; creating a cleaner environment that is safer for children and pets.
But the real value is in how the system is planned. At Controlux, we look at how a space functions first. Where the light comes from. When privacy matters most. How temperature builds in certain rooms. Getting these details right is what makes the system feel natural once it’s installed.
Wimbledon has seen asteady increase in renovation and extension projects over the past few years. More homes now feature bifold doors, skylights, and wider windows. These design choices bring in natural light but also mean shading has to work harder, and privacy is harder to maintain.
Electric blinds are particularly useful for:
There’s also been a shift in how people think about comfort. Rather than constantly adjusting blinds manually, homeowners prefer systems that adapt on their own. It sounds small, but over time it makes daily life easier in ways you don’t always notice at first.
Convenience is often what first attracts people. Performance is what keeps them happy with the decision years later.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 18% of heat loss in UK homes happens through windows. Electric blinds can help reduce that by acting as an additional insulating layer. When programmed correctly, they close automatically in the evening to keep warmth in and open during sunny winter mornings to let natural heat enter.
In summer, solar sensors can lower blinds when sunlight is strongest, helping to prevent rooms from overheating. This is especially useful in Wimbledon extensions with south-facing glass where temperatures can climb quickly.
There’s also the long term protection aspect. Sunlight can slowly damage interiors without anyone noticing day to day. Electric blinds help protect:
It’s one of those benefits people don’t always think about until later, but it can make a noticeable difference over the years.
