Motorised comfort and convenience in your home…
In every room:
HVAC Reduction Motorised blinds help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Enjoy lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment year-round.
Capital Savings Solar shading is a self-financing climate control system. By investing in motorised blinds, you can achieve significant energy savings, making it a smart and economical choice for your household.
Benefits of Automation Automated shading delivers optimal and dynamic performance, significantly reducing the risk of overheating in every room of your home.
Indoor Comfort Spend your time indoors in comfort. Motorised blinds enhance thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort, positively impacting your emotional, attitudinal, and cognitive response.
Bedrooms:
Heat Loss & Insulation Keep your bedrooms cosy during winter. Motorised blinds provide additional insulation, reducing heat loss through windows, which are often a weak point in a home's thermal performance.
Privacy in your Bathrooms and Bedrooms Enjoy enhanced privacy with motorised blinds, offering two-way privacy and acting as a functional and visual divider in your bathroom and bedroom spaces.
Living Areas:
Solar Gain & Overheating Prevent your living room from becoming uncomfortably hot with motorised blinds. They reduce solar gain, with double-glazed windows benefitting from a reduction from 0.85 to 0.24 in solar gain.
Daylight Exposure Adequate daylight is crucial for your well-being. Motorised blinds ensure optimal daylight exposure, preventing issues such as headaches, eyestrain, and reduced vitality.
Glare Control Control light and glare in your media room with motorised blinds. They effectively manage luminance to meet varying visual comfort needs, ensuring an optimal viewing experience.
Colour Rendering for your Craft and Hobby Rooms Artificial light can distort colours, affecting your projects. Motorised blinds allow for better natural light control, ensuring true colour rendition and reducing stress levels.
Artificial Lighting Enhance your kitchen's lighting efficiency by controlling and optimising natural light with motorised blinds. Reduce the reliance on artificial lighting, saving energy and money.
In your Home Office:
Daylight Harvesting Maximise natural light in your home office with motorised blinds. Improved indoor comfort and well-being, along with reduced use of artificial lighting, enhance your productivity and save on energy costs.
Productivity Temperature affects productivity. Maintain an optimal range of 19-24°C in your home office with motorised blinds, contributing to superior work performance and increased concentration.

Benefits of Motorised Blinds
High or Inaccessible Blinds Motorised blinds are the ideal solution for high or hard-to-reach windows. Battery-powered options eliminate concerns about providing power to these areas, making it easy to enhance any space.
Control Multiple Blinds at Once Managing multiple blinds in a single room can be tedious. With motorisation, you can control each blind individually or group them together, allowing you to adjust all your blinds with the touch of a button.
Longer Lifespan Manual operation can wear out blinds and curtains due to excessive force or improper use. Motorised systems ensure smooth, controlled operation, extending the lifespan and maintaining the functionality of your window coverings.
Convenience Enjoy the ease of adjusting your blinds or curtains to any position with a simple button press. Enhance your system with sensors and timers so your blinds work for you, even when you’re not at home.
Energy Efficiency Control the amount of heat and light entering your home to reduce energy usage. Keep your home cool in summer by blocking harsh sunlight, and let in natural warmth and light during winter.
Safety Loose cords and chains pose a danger to young children. Motorised blinds and curtains eliminate this risk by removing cords and chains, ensuring a safer environment for your family.
Quiet and Discreet Our motors are fully concealed within the tube of the blind. With a simple remote control, enjoy the tranquil and sophisticated ambience of an automated system, impressing your guests with its seamless operation.
Somfy Motorisation
For more than 40 years, Somfy has been at the forefront of designing and developing motors, remote controls, and control points for the motorisation and automation of rolling shutters, blinds, awnings, gates, and garage doors.
By motorising and automating sun protection devices, users enjoy substantial gains in visual comfort, thermal comfort, blackout capability, privacy, silence, and control. Natural light can be mastered by using Somfy motors with indoor blinds & curtains. The level of light adapts automatically, or at the touch of a button on the remote control, to suit the occupant’s activities and provide the very best visual comfort. Wave goodbye to pull cords and control your blinds with one easy touch of a button.
