WiSER Interiors: motorised blinds and roof shading across the South East

WiSER Interiors is a second-generation, family-run business specialising in motorised blinds and roof shading, with a team that also works across manual blinds, curtains and shutters. The company installs in homes and businesses in Kent, Surrey, Sussex and London, and describes its team as small but experienced, with decades of combined experience.

Its stated specialism is the automation of window and roof shading, but the catalogue covers a much broader range of interior and exterior products, from made-to-measure curtains to security shutters and outdoor awnings.

From Premier Blinds & Awnings to WiSER Interiors

The business was started by Ellen's father in 1989. Ellen took it over in 2008, and in 2016 the company changed its name from Premier Blinds & Awnings to WiSER Interiors, a move the company explains as a way to distance itself from similarly named businesses and to reflect its expertise in integrating blinds with smart home technology. In 2021 the company launched a sister company, Shaded Cube, to concentrate on outdoor solutions, leaving WiSER Interiors as the internal shading specialist.

The company states that it is an active member of the British Blinds & Shutters Association.

Roof and skylight shading

A dedicated roof blind collection addresses conservatories, orangeries, garden rooms, roof lanterns, skylights and glazed roofs. The range includes wire-free skylight blinds, standard skylight blinds, roof roller blinds, electric pleated blinds, Pinoleum roof blinds, daylight blinds and Toplight blinds. According to the company, all its roof blinds are intended to control heat and glare and are energy efficient.

Motorised blinds and Somfy partnership

WiSER Interiors presents itself as a Somfy Master Partner and states that it can motorise any type of blind, including roller, venetian, pleated, vertical, roman and Gable End blinds. These can run on mains electricity or batteries and be operated by remote control handset or automated through smart home technology. The motorised collection specifically lists motorised pleated blinds, motorised venetian blinds, motorised roller blinds, Somfy powered blinds and electric roman blinds.

Curtains, tracks and plantation shutters

The curtains and tracks line covers made-to-measure curtains hung on curtain poles and motorised curtain tracks, including traditional blackout-lined pinch pleat curtains for bay windows and contemporary Wave voile curtains for large patio doors. Plantation shutters are offered in MDF, wood or waterproof UPVC for doors and windows of all shapes, and rectangular shutters can be motorised. For vulnerable windows the company supplies Rhino Shutters, described as metal security plantation shutters with locks. The shutter collection also includes Gable End shutters and security shutters.

Control options and smart home integration

Every product is available in a manual version, but the company specialises in automating the opening and closing of blinds, curtains and shutters. Users can schedule daily opening and closing times or integrate the shading into Loxone, Lutron, Crestron, Control4, RAKO or any other compatible system.

Outdoor shading and renewable products

The outdoor shading collection covers glass verandas and garden rooms, shop awnings, outdoor pods, designer awnings, external window blinds, alfresco awnings, patio awnings and over-glass awnings. A separate renewable collection lists SolarGap blinds, SolarShadow canopies and Prana ventilation.

Services for different stages of a project

The company structures its service around the customer's situation: existing homes, moving home, a new build, cavity boxes, commercial property and other trades. It also offers a design and build service, noting that the earlier it is involved in a build or renovation, the more it can help. A consultation can begin by phone or through the website, followed by a visit to show samples and fabrics and provide an accurate quote.

Showroom partnerships and demonstrations

WiSER Interiors has installed blinds in the showrooms of partner companies and offers demonstrations by appointment at two of them. At Automate's Loxone Flagship store in New Gallery, Haringey, London N8 9HY, visitors can see roller blinds and curtains on motorised tracks integrated into a Loxone system. At Bathroom Eleven, 49 Fleece Rd, Long Ditton, Surbiton, KT6 5JR, the display includes a manual wood venetian and a curtain on a motorised track with fabric pelmet. The company also invites showrooms interested in partnering to call the office.

Coverage and aftercare

The team is based across Kent and Surrey and visits customers for a free consultation, serving the South East of England. The site also lists an aftercare service and a child safety section among its support pages.
