Make life easier with EHRET electrically driven shutters
11.01.2018 — Blog
Imagine going to bed at night with your window shutters closed and then waking up the next day with them open, the morning sun streaming through to greet you. Now imagine you can make your shutters do this without having to open and close your windows separately. No, it’s not just a dream – with motorised shutters from EHRET, you can make this a reality. These electrically driven window shutters are exceptionally easy to open and close, using either buttons or remote control. And for an even more convenient solution, you can also control your motorised shutters centrally using intelligent automation technology – straight from the practical location of your smartphone, tablet or PC.
Multifunctional electrical drives
EHRET shutters are real eye-catchers that deliver high-quality sun and weather protection – but that’s not all. Thanks to their integrated electrical drives, they also open and close effortlessly. EHRET uses high-performance Somfy drives for this purpose. They are easy to install, even after the shutters themselves are in place, and they blend seamlessly into their surroundings with no impact on the façade’s appearance.
This type of drive is also a low-noise variety with a soft start function, whose smooth motion ensures a long service life for the shutters. Even if a power cut happens, the integrated battery that comes with the Somfy drives makes it possible to keep controlling all the window shutters that are connected to the system. What’s more, the drives feature protection against freezing in place as well as obstacle recognition. So when conditions are icy, the drives stop immediately – and when an obstacle is detected, the shutter sash that is affected by it automatically reopens, providing a reliable means of preventing damage.
Somfy drives satisfy the criteria of stringent safety standards. One example is their ability to block the movement of sashes when the shutters are closed, delivering effective break-in protection as a result.
Over 4000
coating colours available
The drive technology is encased in a discreet motor housing and can be coated in any colour that is available. Even the matching drive arms can be obtained in any of these colours – which number more than 4000.
This makes it possible to customise the drive and drive arm coatings exactly to your needs – and make sure that they match the façade or the shutter if you wish.
Control window shutters remotely
By integrating our electrically driven shutters into your building automation system, you’ll find that you can control them easily not only in your home, but also remotely using your smartphone, tablet or PC. You have the option of controlling shutters individually or in groups, while sensors and control systems that are combined with the drive enable shutters to operate according to the time of day or the weather conditions. And of course, if you have entered a specific time for the shutters to open or shut, you can simply suspend this with just a click.
While you’re away on holiday, you can set the shutters to close in the evenings – creating the illusion that someone is there and stopping your home from becoming a point of interest for intruders.
Additionally, sensors and control systems can use an integrated weather station to respond to current weather conditions – for example, the motorised shutters might close automatically in strong sunshine or when it gets cold. This ensures the perfect indoor climate all year round, as well as helping you to save valuable energy and cut down on costs. Integrate these features into the building control system, and you’ll benefit from something modern and reliable in which every function is automated.
