Blindware has released a motorised roman blind track targeting the premium end of the market.
Managing Director Grant Norton confirmed the new system was developed from the ground up “and in a way we believe blind manufacturers will find unique and compelling.”
The heavy duty extruded track comes pre-assembled in 500mm length increments,
from one metre wide to 5.5 metres wide and ready for quick cut-down to finished length. Lift spools and cords are already attached, providing for maximum four metre drop and driven by a heavy duty octagonal tube. Inside the tube, the design allows the user to install almost any brand of 40mm tubular motor, with Blindware’s Motolux motor recommended by the company as the preferred option.
“Operation is whisper quiet and the unique traversing spools ensure that the lift cords are always held in constant position, without side to side wander or tangling. Installation is achieved using standard, fully concealed, top mount or face mount timber Venetian springbrackets.”
Fabric is fitted to the front face with double side tape and a cover plate that is quickly screwed into place. The track is also designed for easy creation of a fabric valance.
“As always, new products are launched to provide enhanced performance and more flexibility,” said Norton. “For motorised roman tracks, one of the key challenges lies in the lift cords. When just wrapped around the tube, they can tangle and make roman blinds appear out of level, which is obviously an issue for high end users or any consumers really. Our new Motorised Roman Track has been designed with threaded spools, secured in place in fixed mounting blocks. This unique spool system keeps the cords positively controlled, with the spools and cords traversing slightly along the octagonal tube with each rotation.”
Manufacturing Blindware’s Motorised Roman Track is simple. The track can be quickly cut to length, a 40mm tubular motor inserted and the end caps fixed back into position. Blindware is also offering a cut-down service to offer customers versatility. The new motorised Roman track is fully compatible with controls used for Blindware’s range of roller blind motors and motorised curtain tracks, including the new APP controlled hub.
“Best of all, the price is very affordable,” says Norton.
