Our FAQs provide answers to the most popular questions we receive about the installation of automated motorised blinds, awnings, and curtains. And if you still have questions, contact us.

Yes. Installing sensors and timers will help you maximise the efficiency of your blinds, awnings and curtains. Whether your window furnishings are inside or outside your home, you can program your system to operate automatically when the weather changes, day or night. And by using the right amount of shade at just the right time, you can make your home more energy efficient and cost effective to run.

Yes. Your home can become more energy efficient by installing sensors on your windows along with a control system to manage the operating function of your window furnishings and awnings. The window sensors automatically detect changes in temperature, triggering your control system to adjust the window. So whether you’re home or away, your integrated blind and awning system will help keep your house warm during cooler months and keep the summer heat out so your house stays cool – naturally. Contact us to create a system that’s right for you.

Yes. Because motorisation opens and closes your blinds, awnings and curtains at a speed and consistency designed to protect their running mechanisms, you can enjoy your window furnishings, outdoor blinds and awnings for longer.

Yes. Traditional window furnishings and blinds rely on dangling chains and cords to open and close them. These cords and chains pose choking hazards and the risk of entanglement to small children and pets. Because motorised blinds and shutters do not have any external cords or chains, they are safe to install in houses with small children and pets.

Yes. Motorised blinds eliminate the need for physical effort to adjust window treatments. You can control your installation via voice commands, remote control, or smartphone apps, reducing the physical strain required to manually operate blinds and shades. Homes can become more accessible and comfortable, helping people living with mobility issues to maintain their independence.

Motorised blinds can help simulate being at home, even when you’re not. By controlling your curtains, blinds and window furnishings via your smartphone app, remote control or timed automation, you can give the appearance of a lived-in house in conjunction with other devices, such as lights and thermostats.
