Qmotion Blinds

General Information About Qmotion Blinds

When it comes to building a world-class company for automated window treatments, you need an inventor, someone who tweaks and tinkers late into the night because he’s fascinated by the elements that must be tamed and he’s excited by the challenge of fine-tuning products into perfection.

In this case, that dedicated investigator of all things industrial is Willis Mullet, who founded QMotion Incorporated after spending many years improving garage doors and garage door openers. Willis is the former CEO of the Wayne Dalton Corp, one of the USA’s leading manufacturers of garage doors and openers. While at Wayne Dalton, he helped steer major advancements in insulated garage doors including the first pinch resistant sectional joints as well as a revolutionary torsion spring counterbalance system that quickly became the envy of the industry.

Willis has injected QMotion Advanced Shading Systems with that same dynamic energy, crafting ways to make window treatments and electric shades move quietly, more efficiently, and have batteries that last years longer or equally innovative low voltage powered shades.

100% Wireless

Qmotion is battery powered and can be remote controlled, so there are no wires to install or complicated building works.

QMotion UK are the industry leaders when it comes to a wireless shading system. With no power wires or control wires required at all, the user can install a fully motorised and intelligently controlled shading system without the need for using any electricians. For the first time there really is a system by which you can use motorised shades without the need for chasing out walls or installing unsightly surface mounted conduits to hide the wiring.

Remote Control

The cool QMotion multi-function remote control allows you to control one or multiple blinds at once.

QMotion UK Remote Controls are offered in standard white finish and are designed for easy set up and operation. We offer two types that can either operate a single shade or if more than one shade is installed a multi control remote can be used. Other remote control accessories that can be purchased are flush mounted plates, which can be fixed to your walls and will hold the remote you have selected by magnet to the flush mounted plate.

iPhone / Android

Got a smart phone, or tablet? You can control your blinds using the QMotion app.

QMotion UK can offer an app for both smart phone and or tablet which can be downloaded in either IOS or android formats. For the app to work and recognise the fact that QMotion UK shades have been installed, the user needs to install a Qsync into their Wi-Fi router. Once the QMotion app of choice is downloaded all the shades can then be addressed individually and if required grouped together, therefore providing an excellent and easy to use platform in which the shades can be operated.

Virtually Silent

Unlike conventional motorised shades, QMotion technology allows for near-silent operation.

QMotion UK motors are almost silent, ensuring that when the shades are operated, that there will be virtually no motor noise that will interrupt or disturb the ambient noise in the room or area to which the shades or blinds are installed. This leaves the user with a pleasant experience when operating the shades and therefore no unnecessary attention is drawn to the window due to excessive motor noise.

5 Year Batteries

Based on four operations per day, the batteries last 5 years, and are a breeze to replace.

QMotion Shades come complete with pre installed readily available standard Alkaline D cell batteries. The battery life is dependant on the size of the shade and the amount of operations carried out on a daily basis. However based on a standard sized shade and alongside our fully vetted testing procedures we would suggest that it will work for up to 5 years with out the need for replacing batteries based on 4 fully up/down operations per day.

QMotion For Home

QMotion UK Advanced Shading Systems specialise in providing wireless window covering solutions for the home. Motorisation eliminates the risk associated with looped and pull cord operating mechanisms and improves safety for children and vulnerable adults. Whereas traditional motorised window coverings require a qualified electrician to install 240v wiring power wiring for the blind motor the QMotion UK solution requires no wiring at all.

For the first time the user has the ability to install a fully functional, quiet, motorised roller system that is entirely wireless. The roller shade can be operated via remote control or by smart phone or tablet using the QMotion app. The user can remotely operate their shades individually or simultaneously, by room, by elevation and by floor.

Control options include a timer remote function that allows the user up to six events per day that move the shades automatically. The user can therefore be assured that whilst they are away from their home the shades will continue to operate, providing glare and heat gain control whilst at the same time offering a level of privacy and security.

With unique inbuilt technology, the QMotion UK shade also provides a dual control feature that allows the user to operate the shade manually. By simply tugging the bottom bar you can lower the shade or send the shade back up to either its last pre-set position or to a fully raised position, bringing a new level of convenience to shade controls.

Power for the shade is provided by standard readily available alkaline D cell batteries. Due to the special counter balancing springs installed within the Roller tube itself the batteries provide up to 5 years usage based on an average 4 daily fully raise/fully lower movement changes.

Easy Battery Replacement – By placing the access port for the readily available alkaline D cell batteries in the shade tube wall, you can now change the batteries without having to remove the shade from the brackets.
