How Much Do Electric Blinds Cost?
The cost of Electric Blinds has come down dramatically in recent years. In fact even with the cost of living crisis we are all facing we actually dropped our prices in 2024 by an average of 25%. This means that an electric blind will start from as low as £78 and a 120x120cm average sized window will cost around £100 in a plain daylight fabric.
The Problem With Made To Measure
Because you are purchasing a made to measure product it can be really difficult to compare different companies pricing as they are all configured in slightly different ways, with some companies charging extra for finishing touches and others including the finishes within the base price.
A lot of online retailers for electric blinds also make it tricky to understand their pricing by offering an extremely low starting price for a product, but when you enter the measurements of your window the price shoots up astronomically.
The quality of the product and quality of the guarantee will also vary a lot when you shop online for blinds with some manufacturers using cheap components with short guarantees and others using tried and tested systems with guarantees up to 5 years.
In order to help demystify the cost of electric blinds we have detailed below the key things you should look for wherever you choose to order your new blinds from and then we will explain why we think Order Electric Blinds is the right place to shop.
Things To Look For
Battery or mains powered: When buying your blinds online you are typically looking to install the blind yourself. For this reason we only offer battery powered electric blinds as you would need to use a qualified electrician to hard wire your blind to the mains.
Whilst we are talking about batteries, we feature an integrated Lithium battery with 2600mAh of capacity and a 1.1Nm torque. What does this mean? In practical terms the battery is built into the motor so sits inside blind tube. With normal use of up and down once per day your battery will need charging once every 9-12 months. It also features a patented helical gear design which means the noise level if lowered to just 30dB when running.
Control options:
We believe in keeping things simple here. We offer a range of single and multi-channel handsets so you can operate your blinds quickly and easily. Keeping with keeping it simple we also offer smart phone control via our app. There is no extra charge for this, and it will allow you to raise or lower your blind directly from your smart phone. If you want to set timer controls we also offer a timer control remote or you can opt for a home hub which can then be programmed to send your blinds up and down at set times of the day to suit your schedule perfectly. The home hub also allows you to use you Google assistant or Alexa to operate your blinds.
Quality roller system:
We have chosen to use the Louvolite roller blind system for our blinds. They are a UK based manufacturer of blind systems and have a long history of creating quality systems. They even life cycle test each batch of components they make to simulate 10 years of use so you can rest assured that your new blind is going to last.

Ordering Features:
It is quite common these days to be offered a variation on mis-measurement insurance. It is important to check the small print on these offerings to ensure that they meet your needs. Our mis-measurement insurance is kept as simple as possible and covers up to 5 blinds on an order for just £9.99.
Lead Time:
As the world has got smaller a lot of online blind companies have moved their production to the far east in order to keep costs down. Unfortunately this also means that your blinds can take weeks rather than days to get to you as they need to be shipped across the world.
We still believe in UK manufacturing and are proud to manufacture all of our electric blinds in house. This is why we can offer some of the quickest lead times available online. We even offer a next day despatch option on many products.
