What this guide covers

Power source and operation type for each control

Best use cases for windows, bi-folds, sliding doors and commercial glass

When W Smart battery operation is practical and when MB hard-wired control is the better fit

Simple manual and magnetic controls

SV and SV+ magnetic slider systems suit reachable Venetian units where a neat cordless control is the priority. C System manual control uses magnetic transmission with a cord loop, knob or wand depending on the blind type.

These routes avoid batteries, charging routines and electrical planning, but the unit dimensions, cavity and glass make-up still need checking against Morley feasibility data.

Battery and solar-assisted controls

W Smart battery powered integral blinds are useful when you want motorised operation but do not have a neat hard-wired route. Morley guidance says they are best suited to a single IGU or small projects of 1 to 4 units.

Charging access, use frequency, remote use and solar exposure all matter. Morley guidance lists typical mains top-ups of about 1 to 3 months, with charging taking about 1 to 3 hours.

Hard-wired, remote and smart-home controls

MB hard-wired systems suit extensions, larger glazing runs and commercial projects where cable routes can be planned properly. They remove battery charging routines and support grouped, synchronised operation.

SmartMotion can connect MB systems into home automation routes such as Loxone, but compatibility depends on the chosen blind system and the wider electrical specification.
