Product Overview

Made to measure, ready to fit, easy to operate.

Our battery-operated roller blinds (Silent Gliss 4955) are great for those who want the ease of motorised blinds, but without the hassle of installing mains powered blinds – perfect for hard-to-reach windows, or as a retrofit solution.

The classic shading system features a refined design with clean lines and high-quality materials to suit a wide range of interiors. With three bottom bar choices and a vast range of fabrics to choose from, you can get perfect blinds, whatever your style.

Detailed Product Information

The 4955 battery-operated electric roller blind system consists of a cassette header, containing the batteries, motor and fabric roll, and a weighted bottom bar at the bottom of the fabric.

4955 System Colours

The header cassette comes in white and the bottom bar comes in either white or silver, or can be covered in the same fabric as your blind.

Battery Information

Battery type

The 4955 system takes 8 standard AA lithium batteries, which are supplied. When you come to change them, please replace with lithium batteries, not alkaline.

Battery life

Battery life can be up to 3 years, depending on how much you operate the blind, and the blind's size, as larger blinds take more energy to move.

Battery fitting

The batteries fit into a battery pack that can be easily removed from the blind. The battery pack fits behind a cover in the header cassette of the blind and cannot be seen when fitted.

Fabric Sizes

You can choose any width from 60cm up to 240cm and any drop height from 60cm up to 400cm.

The fabric on your blind will be 1.7cm (17mm) narrower than the width of entire system on each side, so if the blind is going in a recess, check this gives you enough coverage. It is normally fine as most window frames are wider than this.

Fixing and fitting

4955's can be fixed up to the ceiling, for example in side a window recess, or to a wall. We will send the correct brackets to match your selection on the blind designer.

The brackets are easy to fix by a competent DIYer and the blind simply clips to them.

You will just need rawl plugs and screws suitable for your fixing surface.

Fabrics

The fabrics we offer for this range of blinds are Silent Gliss' own, specifically designed and refined for this application.

We currently offer fabrics from their two most popular groups, Colorama 1 and Colorama 2, which have both vivid and more toned-down colours to suit any application.

The fabrics are the same colours in both groups, but:

Colorama 1 is slightly thinner and therefore more transparent than Colorama 2.
Colorama 2 is thicker and lets less light through.

Please measure your blinds to the nearest centimetre (cm), ideally using a steel tape measure as they provide better accuracy over longer distances.

For a roller blind inside a window recess:

In this case you'd usually choose the Ceiling fix bracket option below to fix to the top of the recess. You might select Face fix if you're screwing straight to the window frame within a recess. Enter the width and drop as measured according to the instructions below. Don't worry about taking off any size for clearance, we do this when building the blind. You'll receive a complete blind perfectly fitted to your recess.

a. Measure from point A to point B in the image below to get the width
b. Measure point C to point D in the image below to get the drop

We recommend measuring at a few different points, in case your window recess isn't exactly square, and using the smallest measurement.

Measure Inside Recess
How to measure inside a window recess

For a roller blind fixing outside of a window recess, i.e. to the wall

In this case you'd normally select the Wall fix bracket option as you'll be screwing into the wall. Make sure there's nothing around the window that will get in the way of your blind. Decide on the amount you want the blind to overlap the window at the top bottom and sides.

a. Measure from point A to point B in the image below to get the width
b. Measure point C to point D in the image below to get the drop

The 4955 battery-operated roller blinds have a few different options available for the remote controls.

As standard, they come with a remote control wall button (the Silent Gliss 10949) and you can optionally add other controllers that will allow you to control more blinds.

Wireless Wall Button Single Channel (Silent Gliss 10949) - Included

This control is provided in two parts, a wall-mountable holder and the actual, removable remote button. It is essentially a remote control that can be stored back in its holder on the wall.

The holder is to be attached to your wall, so you can place the button next to the room's light switch or within reach of your favourite chair, for example, but you can then remove the remote button to use anywhere or leave on the coffee table.

The "single channel" part of the name means that the controller will control one or more blinds, but all at once, instead of individually. So, you could have four blinds in one room, and the one controller will open and control all of them at the same time.

If you want to be able to control blinds independently from the same controller, add one two or six channel remote controls talked about below.

Wireless Remote 1 Channel - Silent Gliss 10946

This controller functions the same as the Wireless Wall Button, but is slightly larger and doesn't have a wall-mount. It is a free-floating remote.

It will control one or more blinds all at the same time.

Wireless Remote 2 Channels - Silent Gliss 10947

You can think of "channels" on a remote control as groups of blinds. You can set each blind to be a member of a particular group.

This 2 channel remote will allow you to control two groups of blinds independently. This means you could have two blinds in a room, and control each of them separately from the same remote, or you could have four blinds in a room and control two of them together, and the other two together (or three together and the other one on its own).

You just set each blind to belong to one of the channels on the remote control (this is simple to do and full instructions are provided).

This 2 channel remote can also control all the blinds at once, regardless of which channel, or group, they belong to.

Wireless Remote 6 Channels - Silent Gliss 10948

Just like the 2 channel remote, this controller will allow you to set up your blinds into groups. This remote will allow you to control up to 6 separate groups of blinds, or operate them all together at once.

As a further example, three blinds could all be on channel 1 if you always want them to operate at the same time, and have the rest of your blinds operate individually.

Simply assign each blind to the corresponding channel number on the remote, and you can have fine-tuned control over every one.

Feel free to give us a call if you have any further questions on the remotes.
