Convenient Never again will you have to struggle with chains or cords!
Automatic 3e electric blinds and curtain tracks can be programmed to operate
automatically from timers or heat/light sensors. This is much more efficient
than manual operation.
Safe Sadly, there have been a number of fatalities where blind cords or
chains have proved a ligature risk for young children. Electric
operation eliminates this hazard. It applies in schools and institutions as well
as in the home.
Economical The high degree of insulation provided by 3e fabrics helps to stop heat
escaping (or lowers heat gain) which reduces energy costs. Blinds can be
programmed to ensure they are lowered when most needed to conserve
energy.
Green payback Blinds provide insulation which helps to stop heat – and money – escaping
out of your windows. This reduces demands on heating/cooling which shows
a saving on your energy bills.

touch with a specialist firm in your area.
Integration Various communication and connection options are available for 3e motors and controls,
to allow integration with third party control systems. These include Dry contact, Radio,
Infra-red and KNX.
Disability and curtain tracks are invaluable for anyone disabled and the wall mounted,
hand held or chair mounted remote controls can also operate other elements, including
an alarm. Many elderly or disabled users prefer touchscreens.

Façade management – office buildings are an essential element in façade management which aims at maintaining a constant comfort level inside the building whatever the weather outside.
in offices can enhance staff welfare and productivity as well as making significant savings in heating/cooling costs.
Payback Rapid payback on investment is possible thanks to energy savings in heating/cooling/lighting and greater staff productivity
Staff Welfare Automatic control leaves staff free to concentrate on their work, and high performance insulating 3e fabrics control glare and heat but still allow a view outside.
Energy Saving Insulating fabrics help to optimise the building temperature and reduce the load on heating and cooling equipment, giving measurable savings.
Blinds fitted externally, fabric roller blinds or louvre systems, can often achieve even higher insulation by reflecting solar energy away from the glazing.
Conference Rooms Conference and training rooms can be darkened for presentations in a few seconds, from one switch or sensor
Control Options Control of can be: • By occupants, with wall mounted or remote controls • Automatically, with timer programme anticipating requirements
• Automatically, from heat or light sensors, to maintain constant comfort levels
Whichever method you choose there is equipment to operate a single
blind – or one hundred or more different zones, floors or elevations.

Automatic control is the best way to realise the vital ingredients for a healthy office: enhanced staff welfare; productivity, and energy saving too.
Every office building is different and automatic blind controls must be tailored to take into account such elements as orientation, longitude (which affects sun angles), shade/reflection
from adjacent buildings and other factors.
You have control! Blinds that are required to operate together can then be grouped. This may be by elevation, by floor level, by office or any other arrangement. For example in a west facing building blinds can be programmed to lower automatically as soon
as low winter sun angles start to cause glare problems. There is no limit to the number of groups that can be controlled.
control systems offer maximum flexibility and can be programmed to match the changing demands of a wide variety of buildings, from control of a small number of zones to open platforms with KNX or Lon for seamless integration of shading with lighting and other
building control elements.
The Atrium, St John’s Wood, London NW8 This highly prestigious residential development overlooking Hyde Park has 3e electric curtain tracks throughout every apartment, operated by wall mounted recessed
touchscreens with Savant protocol.

Guest comfort puts control into the hands of the room occupant. In hotel
bedrooms non-operating drapes can be left intact with privacy and room
darkening achieved by blinds with opaque fabric, operated at the touch of a
sensor or switch.
Patient Care Healthcare patients can also operate room blinds from bedside controls – or
control can be automated to maintain optimum patient comfort.
Disability is an essential aid for persons with disability and control can be
linked to a home automation system (see pages 4/5) including access/lighting/
heating/security.
Improved concentration in teaching rooms Educationalists have become aware that ambient comfort in teaching rooms improves
concentration and results. Breaking off teaching to operate manual blinds is a distraction
which electric operation removes.
Natural VentilationStudents need oxygen. 3e roller blinds will not flap
around when windows are opened, thanks to side
guides and porous fabrics. Air exchange fans also
help to circulate air and reduce aircon costs.
Energy SavingSchools and colleges often have large areas of
glazing. Automatic control and insulating fabrics
help to stop heat – and money - going out of the
windows, and reduce heating/cooling costs.
Lighting ManagementThe lights don’t generally need to go on just because
the blinds come down thanks to hi-tec fabrics which control glare but still transmit light
