What motor type may I choose for my roller blind?

At Cortinadecor, you'll find this two options:

1: SOMFY ENGINES: this type of electric motor can be selected either with remote control or with a push button that goes directly to the wall, like any light key in our house. This engine has pre electrical installation.

2: NICE ENGINES: This type of electric motor only has the option of a push button that goes directly to the wall, like any light key in our house. This engine has pre electrical installation.

In all the models of engines with button drive system, this is not included in the order. All our engines have a 5 year warranty.

Look at the window from inside your room: in this way you must select the position of the mechanism, if it is to the left or to the right.

Ceiling installation

This option is the most aesthetic when we have a large window or door. In addition, by installing it on the ceiling, it also allows us to hide the shutter box, which very often is visually annoying.

Wall installation

If we have If we have a very high ceiling, we can also install our blind to the wall, we must first verify that we do not have any obstacle that prevents the lowering of our blind (blind box, crank, handles, radiators…)

Long wall installation

With the option “long wall” we will send you a longer support. This allows the blind to be separated so that it does not collide with any obstacle when descending, such as window handles, radiators, etc. However, if the obstacle is considerable, it is preferable to opt for a ceiling installation.

How to measure the width of my blind?

The width that we will indicate corresponds to the total width of the blind, counting the supports. Instead, the fabric will be 5 cm less than that measurement (-2.5 cm on each side).

If your window has space on both sides

We measure and write down the width of our window and add 10 cm to the right and 10 cm to the left.

If my window has space on one side

We measure and write down the width of our window and add 10 cm.

If my window is between walls

We measure and note the width between the two walls and subtract 1 cm (0.5 cm on each side).

If I have corner windows

First we identify if our windows are with space on one side or between walls. We apply the corresponding calculations explained above and record the two results. In this case, for example, the window

1. has space on one side and the window

2. he is between walls.

If I have corner windows

First, we identify if our windows are with space on one side or between walls. We apply the corresponding calculations explained above and record the two results. Next, we decide which of the two blinds will pass through. Above the other and subtract 9 cm. In this case we have 2 windows with space on one side only, and it would be the blind of window 2. Above the other and, to which we will subtract 9 cm.

How to measure the height of my blind?

The height that we will indicate corresponds to the total height of the blind when it is closed. Fully lowered and will depend on of the type of installation for which we have opted. To choose the type of installation, we must take into account the possible obstacles that may prevent the lowering of our blind (blind drawers, handles, radiators...). In that case, it is always better to opt for a ceiling installation. To be able to distance the blind from the window according to the space we need.

If we opt for a ceiling installation

We measure and point the height of the ceiling to where we want the bottom of the blind to reach. If it is a window, we recommend adding 10 cm after the bottom frame of the window.

If we opt for a wall installation

We measure and note the height of our window or door. We recommend adding 15 to 20 cm for the top. If it is a window, we recommend adding 10 cm after the bottom frame of the window.
