Motorised Blinds

A touch of class and privacy. Open and close your blinds with a remote, an app or your voice, in homes and offices across Pretoria East & Centurion

Comfort at the Touch of a Button

Motorised blinds are the easiest first step to a more comfortable, convenient home. Your blinds open and close at the touch of a button, with no cords to pull and no reaching over furniture to get to awkward windows.

Choose wired Ambient motors with a remote that can run every blind in the house, or Somfy battery-operated motors that keep working through load shedding and connect to your phone and voice assistant. More peace of mind and a lighter daily routine.

Motorised Blind FAQs

Which blinds can be motorised?

Our Ambient motors are available for roller blinds, zebra blinds and 50mm venetian blinds, including our wood, polymer and 50mm aluminium ranges. Outdoor roller blinds can also be motorised. Minimum blind widths apply, and we will confirm what is possible for each window at your consultation.

Do motorised blinds work during load shedding?

Our Somfy battery-operated motors keep working during load shedding, because they do not rely on mains power. If you want your blinds to work through power cuts, ask us about the Somfy option.

Can one remote control several blinds?

Yes. Ambient motors come with a choice of 1, 5 or 15 channel remotes, so a single remote can run one blind, a room, or blinds throughout the house.

Can I control my blinds from my phone?

Yes. With the Somfy option you can open and close your blinds from a smart control or the app, for example closing them all with one tap when you leave in the morning and opening them again when you get home.

Do motorised blinds work with voice assistants?

Yes. Somfy motorisation can be controlled with a compatible voice assistant, so you can open and close your blinds hands-free.

Is there a minimum size for motorised blinds?

Yes, minimum widths apply because the motor sits inside the blind. We measure every window at your free consultation and will tell you which blinds can be motorised.
