Our products are made to measure. Enter the desired width and height of your blind and we will take care of the rest. You don't have to take into account any margins, we will calculate them ourselves. Please note! Before you start measuring, pay attention to any obstacles such as door and/or window fittings that protrude, heating pipes or inward-turning doors and windows.

Want to know how to measure? Check out our measuring instructions!

  1. Option A: Determine dimensions for mounting inside the recess

    Measure the width at the top of the window recess and measure the height at the middle of the window recess. Please note! We supply the blind with a 3 mm reduction on both sides. So don't do any reductions yourself! Please also note a system height of 100 mm for possible obstacles such as doors and windows turning inwards.

  2. Please note that the width size given is the size of the system. The fabric is always narrower than the system, see this article for more information.

  3. Option B: Determine dimensions for mounting outside the recess

    Measure the width and height of the window recess, with a small overlap. We recommend an overlap of 5 cm on both sides. Add a total of 10 cm to the width measurement. To determine the height, add 10 cm (height of system) to the height of your window recess. Do you want your blind to continue downwards? Then decide how many extra centimetres you want in height.

You can choose to hang your blind inside the recess or outside the recess:

  1. Inside the recess
    inside
    If you hang the roller blind inside the recess, it is mounted between the walls of your window. With this choice, we therefore supply your blind with a 3 mm reduction on both sides.
  2. Outside the recess
    outside
    If you hang the blind outside the recess, it is mounted on the wall and hangs over the window with overlap on both sides.

When putting together your Smartblind(s), you have a choice of two different types of motors. Namely, a MotionBlinds motor or an Eve MotionBlinds motor. Although the names do not differ much from each other, there are definitely differences in the functionalities and features of these cordless battery motors. On this page, we explain them!

MotionBlinds motors with battery

Do you especially value the electrical features and want your Smartblinds to move up and down electrically using the pull cord, a remote control and/or, when nearby, an app on your smartphone? Then the MotionBlinds motors meet your needs and it is best to choose 'Electric control options' while putting together your Smartblinds. This way, you avoid paying unnecessary money for revolutionary/sophisticated features that you won't use anyway.

Features:

  • Most affordable option

  • Controllable with pull cord, remote control and MotionBlinds Bluetooth app

  • Technology: bluetooth

Eve MotionBlinds motors with battery

Besides electrical control, do you want to take advantage of all the benefits and possibilities that smart home has to offer? Such as control with voice commands or based on sunrise and sunset? Then the Eve MotionBlinds motor is the right choice. This motor allows you to control your Smartblinds with smart home in addition to the pull cord, a remote control and an app on your smartphone. This is because the Eve MotionBlinds motors are compatible with the best-known smart home platforms and make you part of your smart home quickly and easily. While putting together your Smartblinds, choose 'Smart home control options' and get the most advanced window decoration of today into your home.

Alternatieven:

  • Advanced option

  • Controllable by pull cord, remote control, Eve app and smart home

  • Connect directly to Apple HomeKit and via the MotionBlinds Wi-Fi bridge to other platforms such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, etc.

  • Collaboration with other smart home accessories possible

  • Technology: Thread

  • Additional benefits: Matter-proof (can be updated to Matter within a few months via the app)

By choosing a motor side, you determine on which side you want to operate and charge your Smartblinds. If you choose the left side, the motor, pull-down controller and charging port are located on the left side of the product. Would you like this to be on the right-hand side? Then choose right.

Here you can fill in a reference for your assembled blind. That way you will soon know exactly which product is for which window in your house!

When you are looking for window coverings, it is important to determine beforehand what transparency you want in certain rooms. In bedrooms, for example, more blackout is usual than in the living room. Smartblinds fabrics can be divided into three different transparencies:

Blackout

Opacity: none - Light from outside is completely blocked and has no possibility to illuminate rooms.

Light filtering

Opacity: limited - Light from outside is obstructed, but not completely blocked.

Sheer

Opacity: full - Light from outside finds its way in, but the fabric offers the desired privacy.

Your blinds should, of course, match your interior. The colour and look of fabrics and materials can sometimes differ from reality from a screen or due to differences in light transmission. We therefore always recommend requesting free fabric samples in advance, so you can assess the fabric (colour) in real life!

Our systems are available in two sizes, small and large. The small system is suitable for small to medium-sized roller blinds. For large sized blinds, only a large system is possible. Our advice is to start by putting together the roller blind for your largest window in the house. If it turns out that you can only choose a large system for this blind, we recommend doing the same for the rest of your Smartblinds. This way you avoid having multiple Smartblinds in your home with different systems. Is your largest product also suitable for a small system? Then choose the system size that you prefer.

Below you will find the system height of the various systems, so that you can take this into account when ordering. Are you mounting your product in the window, but do you have a window that opens inwards? Then you can use this to check whether you have enough room for this.

The light filtering version ensures that you receive enough daylight in your home when you have your blinds down. The blackout fabric actually blocks sunlight from outside, making it a popular choice for the bedroom. Cleaning our Essential collection is easy with a damp cloth.

Product

Smartblinds are easy to assemble and you install them in less than a minute! With the wireless motor, your Smartblinds do not need to be continuously connected to power. With normal use, you only need to recharge them once or twice a year with the included USB-C cable. Our products operate on the Thread network. The revolutionary and energy-efficient smart home protocol which allows our blinds to pair directly with Apple HomeKit. In combination with the MotionBlinds Wi-Fi bridge, you link Smartblinds blinds to other best-known smart home platforms, such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. A simple software update will follow in the future, making Smartblinds supported by Matter.
