Somfy Motorised Blinds

By Betta Blinds and Awnings - 7th March 2023

Motorisation is a sought-after feature that provides added convenience and functionality. While there are many competing motor brands, Somfy has long maintained its place as one of the leading suppliers of motors that suit a range of different applications.

Manually operated Blinds can become a little tedious to use especially if you want to raise and lower your Blinds frequently. Somfy Powered Blinds provide an easy-to-use alternative that will help save time and effort.

Benefits of Somfy Powered Blinds

- Convenience
- Reduce heat
- Safety 
- Style

Convenience

One of the key features of any Motorised Blind is the convenience they provide. Using a remote control allows you to quickly and easily operate your Blinds without needing to use a manual chain or cord. 

Where motorisation really shines is when you have a large number of Blinds or Awnings that you need to operate. With a motorised system, you can choose which Blinds to operate at any given time or you can control them all at once.

Reduce Heat

The Australian summer months are often uncomfortably hot but Motorised Blinds can help reduce the impact of heat. While manually operated Blinds work just as well, the key advantage of motorisation is that you can preset the time at which your Blinds will be lowered or raised.

This means that you can automatically close your Blinds throughout the hottest parts of the day to reduce the heat entering your home. You can then preset them to open at the times you choose.

With the increasing cost of electricity, motorised blinds will help end-users to save money on cooling. The cost of running motorised blinds up and down at strategic times is far less than that of running air conditioning.

Safety

Blind cords and chains pose a safety risk to children and pets. While there are safety precautions in place to reduce the risk of accidents, a motorised system offers the best safety for your home.

Because Motorised Blinds use a motor to raise and lower them, there are no chains or cords to worry about. So if you're looking to make your home as child friendly as possible, Motorised Blinds are a great choice.

Style

Motorised Blinds also provide a stylish way to furnish your windows. One of the added benefits of Motorised Blinds is that they create a modern clutter-free look. Chains used in standard Roller Blinds can be considered unsightly for the more interior design conscious amongst us. Motorised Blinds do away with the chains entirely, creating a sleek minimalist finish that is perfect for a range of different interior styles.

Somfy Powered Blinds

Somfy has one of the longest histories of designing and refining blind motors and this is reflected in their simple and easy-to-use product.

Somfy provides users with an intuitive user experience across their range of remotes as well as through the Somfy Connexoon Window RTS app.

One of the standout advantages of Somfy motors compared to other brands is their exceptional quietness. This makes them an ideal option for applications where silence is a top priority, which is often the case for those looking to create the most relaxing atmosphere in their home.

The Sonesse range of motors is the quietest on the market and has been lab-tested against all known competitors. 

Thanks to Somfys' long history and continued refinement of their technology, the motors offer great performance and longevity.
