SmartBlock™ blackout blinds are available in three control options — chain-driven, chain-free (spring-loaded), and motorised. Each option has distinct advantages, depending on your window placement, budget, and preferences. Here's how they compare:
Chain-Driven Blackout Blinds (Standard Option)
-
The most popular and cost-effective choice
-
Ideal for DIY installation and retrofitting
-
Includes a child safety clip, but maybe not the best option for young children's bedrooms
-
A practical choice for standard-sized, easily accessible windows
Chain-Free (Spring-Loaded) Blackout Blinds
-
Features a clean, chain-free appearance with no visible control chains
-
Safer for homes with young children or pets
-
Operated by using the handle secured to the bottom rail to raise or lower the blind
-
Best suited to windows within easy reach
-
A minimalist option that suits modern interiors, bedrooms, and nurseries
- Same price as the above chain-driven standard option
Motorised Blackout Blinds
-
Offers the highest level of convenience with remote-controlled operation
-
Perfect for large or hard-to-reach windows or rooms where daily manual adjustment isn’t practical
-
Powered by a motor with rechargeable battery — no electrical wiring required
-
Professional installation recommended, but confident DIYers can definitely manage as well
