When to Choose Hardwired Blind Motors Over Wireless

As smart automation becomes increasingly popular in homes and commercial buildings, there’s more choice than ever when it comes to motorising your blinds. Among the options, hardwired blind motors offer a powerful, long-term solution for those seeking consistent performance, seamless integration, and minimal maintenance. 

Our hardwired blind motor range includes:

• 40SERIES-H-E

• 45SERIES-H-E

• 50SERIES-H-M

• 50SERIES-H-E

Whether you’re installing in a single property or managing a larger-scale development, here’s why hardwired blind motors are a smart choice: 

Consistent Power, Day After Day 

Hardwired motors benefit from a permanent power supply, offering reliable performance over the long term. This makes them particularly well-suited to: 

• Frequently used blinds 

• Hard-to-reach locations 

• Large-scale installations 

  
  

There’s no need to recharge or monitor battery levels—just dependable operation whenever it’s needed. 

Built for Larger and Heavier Blinds 

Hardwired motors are ideal for wider or heavier blinds, where extra lifting power is required. Their robust design means they can handle larger window coverings with ease, making them a great fit for: 

• Floor-to-ceiling windows 

• Commercial spaces 

  
  

Smart Home & Building Integration with Home Hub 

Looking to bring your blinds into your smart home setup? With the addition of our Home Hub, hardwired motors can be controlled directly from: 

• Your smartphone or tablet 

• Voice assistants like Alexa, Google Home, or Siri 

• Scheduled automation, scene setting, and group control 

  
  

This gives users a modern, connected experience, perfect for creating smart routines or improving energy efficiency. 

Clean, Built-In Look 

Hardwired installations allow for cables to be hidden within walls or ceilings, resulting in a sleek, streamlined finish. This makes them a popular choice for: 

• New build homes and extensions 

• Renovation projects 

• Premium interior designs 

  
  

The result is a professional appearance with no visible wires or external battery packs. 

A More Sustainable Long-Term Solution 

Whilst Ellard’s battery-powered motors are designed with reliability and longevity in mind, our Hardwired motors offer an environmentally conscious alternative. Being wired directly into the mains, the hardwired tend to have a longer life than their battery-powered counterparts. This reduces waste over time and supports a more sustainable approach to automation. 

Coupled with energy-saving benefits from smart scheduling (e.g. closing blinds to reduce heat gain), hardwired systems can contribute to overall energy efficiency and carbon-conscious living. 

Designed for Performance and Integration

Hardwired blind motors are a dependable, long-term solution for projects that require power, precision, and smart integration. They’re ideal for large blinds, frequent use, and environments where access for maintenance is limited. 

With the ability to connect to smart devices through HomeHub and a clean, built-in finish, hardwired motors offer a professional, future-proof choice, backed by low maintenance and consistent performance.
