What to Look for In Motorised Blinds

When researching, it can be hard to know what to look for, so we've made it easier by listing the most important items to tick off.

Control Options

One of the biggest benefits of motorised blinds is the range of control options available. Motorised blinds can be controlled via a remote or even an app on your smartphone. Better yet, the process can be completely automated with the ability to be placed on a schedule. 

Noise

It's early morning, you're fast asleep and you've scheduled your blinds to gently wake you in the morning. Except, the noise of your motorised blinds has startled you. Don't purchase motorised blinds only to find out they're not what you expected. Ask about the expected noise levels of the motor.

Ideally, the blinds should make little to no noise. If you're worried, ask for a demo. Somfy's range of Sonesse motors have been designed for silence and simplicity. 

Price

Although the cost of motorised blinds is more than the cost of manual blinds, you should rest assured in knowing that motorised blinds are a terrific investment.

Not only are they great for your security and comfort but they can save you money on your energy bills and add value to your home!

Warranty

A good deal should include warranty for added peace of mind. All Somfy's motors and controls come with a standard 5-year warranty*. In addition, all Somfy products that are electrically connected by Somfy Electrical Services come with an additional 2-year extended warranty. Feel free to contact us for further information.

*The Connexoon RTS Box is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of 2 years.
