AC vs DC motorisation. What’s the difference?

Image
It’s 2020. The motorisation of blinds is now becoming more popular than ever and with a huge amount of different products available it can obviously be a bit over whelming too. From the brand of motor to the options list available with each brand, such as: light sensors, hub connectivity, programming styles etc.  Today we are here to talk about AC vs DC motors. What the differences are and hopefully give you a little more knowledge to help you decide on what best suits you.  AC Motors: These are the bees knees.

So you’ve been getting a few quotes from different window furnishing companies and all seem to be offering you the same sort of stuff but the quotes tend to vary significantly?  In the current market, you could be forgiven for being overwhelmed for the amount of products that are offered to you as window furnishings.  You will be exposed to products that the untrained eye cannot see a difference between. That all seem to operate and work the same way. But as a buyer beware, just like any industry, it can be filled with cheap replica versions, which haven’t been through the extensive testing required to fulfil our high Australian standards and offer the perks the actual product is known for. This includes:  fabrics,  controls,  components Joins Security, etc Everything is specifically designed and has its purpose.  As a consumer, you should ask as many questions as possible to really understand what you’re getting. A confident company, such...
