Farnborough Blinds is a well established UK based company that design and manufacture a complete range of curtain tracks, blinds and awnings for sale to installers and retail outlets. Household Automation has been involved with the specification and installation of control systems for over a decade. The partnership provides the ideal blend of versatile design and manufacturing with the ultimate control, thus providing the end user with the ideal solutions for any automated blinds system.
A large variety of different sizes, shapes, formats and fabrics are available to adorn any opening and of course all options can be automated, here are just a few of the offerings.
•Roller blinds - traditional fabric on a roll, consider the possibility of enclosing the blind in the ceiling or pelmet.
•Roman blinds - pleated blinds.
•Venetian - traditional slats that can open horizontally or vertically.
•Curtains - curtain tracks need not simply be straight they can be made to curve.

•Roof lights - different types of covering for roof lights.
•Blackout - as the name suggests black out blinds utilise runners down their length and when closed no light can penetrate.
•Bespoke - you may not realise but automated blinds can be made to fit most size and shape of openings.
Farnborough blinds is always at the forefront of blinds innovation. Last year saw the introduction of a new silent blinds motor, it has to be heard to be believed! If innovation in curtain openers is required then the semi-automatic curtain opener is ideal for larger drapes allowing the opening and closing of curtains after they have been pulled on once. Of course with the environment in mind a new range of solar powered blinds and
openers is due to be released this year.
Automatic control is achieved by the use of Farnborough Blinds dedicated controller. What ever your current control system (it may be Lutron, KNX, CBUS, Rako, Dynalite, Comfort, Centralite etc etc) we would welcome the chance to connect our blinds into your system and provide a dedicated iPhone, iPad or android app to give the ultimate control.
The benefits of an automated blinds system are not always obvious her are just a few:
•Thermal - blinds fabrics will provide an element of insulation and thus will aid with both heating and cooling, in larger buildings solar gain can be a big problem.
•Shade - traditionally blinds provide an element of shade deflecting direct sunlight.
•Occupancy - in an automated building the blinds may be programmed to accommodate different scenarios, it may be that they operate at dawn and dusk, or that they are set up to interact with the security system to mimic movement in the building.
Household Automation has ongoing projects involving the installation of a variety of different blinds and curtains and their associated control.
