By installing a motorised operation system such as this, you can take effortless control of the light and heat levels during the day and at dusk in your home, plus protect your privacy with ease. You can simply open and close your blinds with just the touch of a button or even a voice command – if the equipment is integrated into your home automation hub. Blind Technique is proud to be an authorised Somfy dealer for all your motorisation needs.

Did you know that motorisation offers you more flexible operating choices?  If you have a single custom blind you can motorise it on an individual basis or you could motorise multiple blinds all together. With multiple blinds you could also separate their daily operation into different groups easily – a configuration known as zoning.

The benefits of a Somfy motorised operating system for your custom blinds include:

• Protection of your furniture and plants from sun damage
• Automatic closure of your blinds at dusk
• Automatic opening of your blinds as soon as its daylight
• Effortless control of your blinds with voice command
• Cordless solutions installed which are safe for homes with children
• Ability to add to your home automation system in easy step by step phases

Here at Blind Technique, we can motorise the majority of internal window blinds using a Somfy Motor which is adapted and concealed discreetly in the headrail. You can choose to motorise:

• Pleated Blinds
• Roller Blinds
• Vertical Blinds
• Venetian Blinds
• Roman Blinds

We would advise that motorisation is particularly useful for roof blinds and blinds which are difficult to reach and/or operate with ease, manually.
