Automate your comfort and safety

Keeping your home safe

According to the Thames Valley Police statistics, there were 2,554 burglaries in Berkshire from March 2025 to April 2026.

Burglars assess houses by making quick decisions from the street at how protected a house may look, coupled with easy options of entrance.

Leaving curtains open or with gaps can give potential burglars an insight into your home's occupancy, and an easy route to your possessions.

Take charge of your comfort

Window blinds are no longer just about blocking the sun—they are a powerful tool for protecting your property and keeping your home secure.

Smart blind systems give you all the control you need to indicate to the outside world that your house is actively lived-in in that moment, along with the original intent of managing your light and privacy.

Leading brands like Louvolite and their One Touch® systems provide industry-leading, whisper-quiet motorized blinds that combine British design and engineering with smart home automation.

A visible deterrent for criminals

Empty homes are the primary targets for intruders. If blinds stay fully open or tightly closed for days while the household is away on holiday, it is a dead giveaway that the property is vacant.

You can use your Smart Blind system (and the controlling app) while you are away to show any criminals scoping out your home, that there is somebody inside actively controlling the environment.

Automated holiday schedules

The pretence of occupancy

Through the app, blinds can be set to open and close at natural times throughout the day, making it look like the normal routine is carrying on inside. One of the useful functions is that these schedules can be randomized.

Instead of opening at exactly 7:00 AM every single day (which can look artificial), the system can vary the timing by 15 to 20 minutes each morning, or even opening and closing according to the rising and setting of the sun throughout the year.

This subtle fluctuation creates a perfectly authentic, occupied look that deters potential intruders.

With a quick tap on a phone, a voice command to Alexa or Google Home, or a pre-set evening timer, the entire house can instantly close up for the night.

Home control in a changing world

Beat heatwaves with passive cooling

We can no longer rely on the UK being a green andn pleasant land. As our mild summers are becoming hotter, our homes built for the cold now act more like ovens.

Once sunlight streams through glass windows, the heat gets trapped inside, turning our living environment into an uncomfortable space.

Smart blinds offer the ultimate solution through passive cooling. By programming the blinds to automatically close before the sun rises during a summer heatwave, solar radiation is blocked before it enters and heats your rooms.

This keeps the home significantly cooler throughout the day without having to rely on electric fans or expensive air conditioning.

Wireless luxury with Louvolite

One-touch and automated control

The biggest worry people have about motorized blinds is the thought of messy wiring, trunking, or having to hire an electrician to install the system.

With Louvolite’s modern lithium battery-powered motors, those worries are completely gone. The motors are neatly hidden entirely within the blind mechanism, leaving your interior decor completely untouched by any chases that need to be cut into plasterwork with more dated powered blinds.

The rechargeable batteries only need to be topped up a couple of times a year with supplied long power cords, charging taking just tens of minutes until the batteries are full.
