Which battery-operated blinds have long lifespan?

Even though most of us never stop to appreciate this revolutionary invention, we found the National Battery Day the perfect opportunity.

While the origin of the first battery is still debated, most sources accredit Alessandro Volta as the inventor, back in the 1800s. The invention would earn him the title of Count, and today’s date also celebrates the anniversary of his birth.

As convenient as they are silent, batteries have changed the world in terms of giving us wireless autonomy by powering devices and appliances of all kinds, from our cars and phones to our blinds.

In the domain of battery-operated blinds, we have a wide variety of options, depending on the wiring, weight capacity, appearance, battery-life, etc. that the installation needs.

Since this article is focused about the convenience of batteries, these are some of the roller blinds with the longest battery life that we can recommend:

In general, you may go for a battery-operated blind because:

They are easy to install and concealed in appearance
Batteries are often easy to replace with standard ones
They have a long lifespan, ranging from three to tens of years (in case of rechargeable batteries), depending on the use.
Usually they are quieter than wired electrical motors
No chains or wires mean they are safe in households with young children and pets

All in all, we’re thankful for batteries and how easier they make our lives!

Thoroughly professional, and we’re really happy with our shutters. The process was seamless from start to finish, kept informed throughout. Have no qualms about recommending Graham and the team at Shading Specialists.

We had a residential project slightly out of the ordinary - w a very successful result - SilentGliss blinds for large slanted skylight windows were installed by Shading Specialists - Extremely knowledgeable and experienced installer. Extremely reliable in organising the installation, flexibly fitting us in during the period when we were busy travelling constantly. Extremely swift when the slight adjustments were needed post installation - no question asked, the visit was organised promptly, without a fuss. Very impressive installer - he was skilled and precise to the millimeter (of the gaps between the several pleated blinds installed next to one another) and even a very OCD client (like ourselves) had absolutely no complaint(!) Highly recommend.

Shading Specialists gave us the opportunity to work alongside them carrying out their electrical work. They are an amazing company to work with and their installations are fantastic. I had electric blinds installed by Shading Specialists in my apartment which I was extremely happy with. All round they are a great company. I would highly recommend.

After three years we had a slight problem with blind in one office and they came round within a week and got everything sorted under the guarantee. Always friendly and efficient and helpful. Also a “big up” to Adrian who could teach my company is a thing or two about customer service! Have recommended them countless times.

I recently had the DIAZ range blinds fitted to 2 sets of bi folding doors. They were supplied and installed by Shading Specialists. The whole process from the initial visit to the showroom to the installation of the blinds was excellent. I was particularly impressed with how professional the installers were. I am absolutely delighted with my blinds and would not hesitate to recommend Shading Specialists.

Excellent Customer Service. I had a couple of issues that were not down to the fault of Shading Specialists but down to suppliers, and Shading Specialists went out of their way to persevere until I was totally happy with the end result. They had a lot of time and patience to discuss exactly what I was looking for, and made great suggestions to suit my needs.
