Ok, we\u2019re not flying around in personal air craft, I don\u2019t own a lightsaber (<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">yet<\/span>) and the \u2018hoverboards\u2019 require some imagination (not to mention skill), but yes, we have arrived. Welcome to the future!<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DotcomBlinds<\/a> we\u2019re a technologically advanced bunch, familiar with all the mod cons in this futuristic world. We\u2019re competent microwave users and we have mechanised our factory to make our blinds. Our office coffee machine even has a Ristretto option. It\u2019s no wonder we offer the option to upgrade the mechanism of your <strong><a title=\"roller blinds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/roller-blinds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roller blind<\/a><\/strong> from chain, spring or crank to an awesome <a title=\"Remote control blinds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blinds\/electric-blinds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remote-controlled blind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Lightsaber Line Break\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Blue_saber1.png\" alt=\"A lightsaber line break - told you we're futuristic\" width=\"840\" height=\"68\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adding a motor to your roller blind gives you the ability to control the blind at the touch of a button. You can pre-set stops at different places up and down the window. For example, if you\u2019re always missing your favourite soap because the sun shines directly on your TV at a particular time in the afternoon, set the blind in a position to block it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Electric blinds are the easiest blind to operate simply because you don\u2019t need to leave your chair. This makes these window blinds ideal for people with mobility issues who would struggle to operate any other blind mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>This also makes them ideal for people like me who have far better things to do than to get up from their arm chair, stagger across the room and exert precious energy pulling a chain\u2026 I mean, it is 2018 after all!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/pub\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Green_saber1.png\" width=\"839\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The motors are quiet and come ready for installation and programming. We\u2019ve made our <strong><a class=\"c-turquoise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/fitting-instructions\">fitting instructions<\/a><\/strong> clear and concise so even the most steadfast technophobe can manage.<\/p>\n<p>Remote controlled blinds are also very child safe. Due to the fact that there are no chains or cords, plus the remote control can be kept well away from children, the electric roller blind is deemed <strong><a title=\"child safe blinds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcomblinds.com\/blog\/how-to-make-blinds-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Child Safe Plus <\/a><\/strong> by DotcomBlinds. Install this blind in children\u2019s play areas or bedrooms safe in the knowledge that there is no chance of a child getting caught up in dangling chains.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To upgrade your roller blind to electric, simply change the blind\u2019s method of operation on the product page. Due to the length of the motor we\u2019re not able to meet the smallest sizes of blinds that we usually do with other methods of operation.<\/p>\n<p>So, are you ready to take a big step into the future?
