Why Choose Wooden Venetian Blinds with a Battery Powered Tilt?
Our Wooden Venetian blinds with battery powered tilt are available with a 50mm slat. They are the perfect way to provide privacy to a room, whilst being able to manage your daylight.
Wooden Venetian blinds are timeless - suitable for both modern and traditional interiors. Motorising the tilt means no need for tilt cords, therefore the only freehanging cord present on the blind will be the raise and lower cord.
The tilt motor is battery powered - as standard the blind will come with an external battery wand, including 8x non rechargeable AA batteries, which will need replacing when they run out of power. We would recommend upgrading to the Somfy external li-ion battery pack, which is rechargable and can be unplugged from the blind to allow easy charging. Both the battery wand and battery pack are designed to be discreetly installed behind the headrail of the blind - so please ensure you have additional clearance for these when measuring.
The tilt will be operated by remote control, included free of charge with these blinds, which makes it a great upgrade for hard to reach blinds, or simply if you want to operate from the comfort of your seat.
App control available with Somfy Connectivity Kit or Somfy TaHoma Switch, available to purchase individually here.
For the finishing touch, why not add elegant 25mm Herringbone tapes to your blind? These can add luxury, style and character to your new Wooden Venetian blinds. Go bold and choose a contrasting colour, or blend in with the recommended colour choice, which is shown on each product.
How To Measure For Wooden Venetian Blinds
We have created handy guides to help make measuring for your new blinds effortless.
To summarise, all you need to do is measure in 3 places for both the width and drop. Ensure you use a metal tape measure rather than a cloth one, for increased accuracy. It is important to check for any obstructions, such as window handles, to ensure the blind doesn't come into contact with anything when it is being lowered.

How To Fit Wooden Venetian Blinds
We also have guides to help fit your new blinds too!
In a nutshell, hold each bracket into place and mark the hole positions. Fit each bracket using suitable screws. Please ensure fixings are suitable for the wall/surface to which you are mounting the brackets. Once again, it is important to check for any obstructions like window handles, please account for this when choosing where to fit your blinds.
