Boost for blinds
7th July 2020

Morley Glass & Glazing has given an energy efficiency boost, and a makeover to its W Swipe solar controlled integral blinds, including a new name – W Smart.

The system is a range of venetian, pleated or black-out blinds encapsulated within a 20, 22, 27, 29 or 32-mm cavity, equipped with a 3.6V internal motor, and powered by a lithium-ion battery housed in a restyled battery module. The battery can be either recharged via a micro-USB connector or by means of an external solar panel, both available as options. The blind can also be controlled by a 99-channel remote control, associated with the radio receiver that is integrated in the battery module as standard.

Managing director Ian Short said: “We are long term partners with Pellini who manufacture the “W Smart” ScreenLine blind system in Italy, and the latest innovations will deliver added value to installers and their customers.  Installers will see our Uni-Blind brand name on the new system, which is a sign of quality and reassurance of our five star service.”

The new battery module has been improved by the introduction of two L.E.D. arrows that show the commands given to the blind through the module or the need for recharging. The slim size of the device (18 mm deep) allows it to be placed on sliding windows, in vertical or horizontal positions.

Also, for the first time in the field of integrated blind systems, the new “W Smart” system allows the information about each blind to be stored directly on the battery module attached on the glass or the window frame, thus avoiding the need to associate a specific control device with a specific window.
