BAY WINDOWS Baying for windows Bay Windows have been around since the 5th century, but how to you shade them? Blinds & Shutters found out Evidently bay windows were first seen in the middle ages (Google advises this was between 5th-15th Century) as Sash Bay windows. In the Gothic period (Google again – 12th - 15th Century) they became particularly popular and were known as Oriel windows. Latterly in the 17th Century, such windows appeared on houses that were quite grand where the design was used to covey importance and impress guests. So which ever way you look at it, these still popular window styles – be them 3 pane and square or 5 pane and angled, or in fact anywhere in between - are not going away. Such glazing systems have created a number of challenges for our industry over the decades, one of which is how to minimise the number of chains/cords associated with the operation of multiple blinds. The few options for this situation have been made clearer subsequent to the Child Safety standards which dictate either breakaways connectors to be used or all operating cords/chains to be secured with a cord tidy at the appropriate height. Louvolite brought motorisation within the reach of most people with its One Touch programme in 2015. That said, at that time it had no option within its 1200 range to satisfy installations to the narrow side windows found in many bay window installations. Now however, Louvolite is happy to advise that this is now available. The introduction of the Louvolite 1200 Short motor will allow our industry to satisfy these installations without the need to be concerned about cords or chains. The way the short motor is achieved is by housing the battery pack – which in a standard 1200 motor is typically in tandem with the electric motor within the tube - outside the tube in a special housing. This is fixed out of sight to either the cassette carrying the blind or behind or to the side of it. A neat cable takes the battery power to the motor and the battery is charged in the normal way. Based on the information from Google, bay sided window systems have taken a long time to develop – we are pleased that Louvolite’ s progress has been somewhat more rapid. 40 Blinds & Shutters • ISSUE TWO 2022
