Here’s Our Take On The Motorized Blinds: The Key Benefits Infographic

“Simplify Your Life” 

Installing motorized shades can make your life simpler. They do the work of opening and closing your shades for you.


With your busy hectic schedule, who wants to be wasting time and energy struggling to adjust your window shades in those hard-to-reach areas of your home? Sit back, relax, and allow the Somfy motors to do all the work for you so you can have more time for the things that matter in your life.

“No Cords”

Motorization takes away the need for ugly, dangling cords.

If you are a parent or a pet owner, you don’t want to have one more worry added to your day. Motorization of your window treatments means that you won’t have any dangling cords that could be a safety hazard for small children or pets. Make your home as safe as you can by installing safe, cordless blinds or shades. And as an added bonus, shades without ugly hanging cords are also more pleasing aesthetically.

“Optimize Lighting”

Get just the right balance of lighting any time by adjusting your shades with motorized precision.

The Sonesse motor range is specially designed to quietly adjust the position of your blinds easily and effortlessly. You can create the perfect lighting effects simply by touching a button. Whether you want full light, complete darkness, or something in between, you can make the adjustments with a simple press of a button until you achieve just the right effect.

“Ensure Privacy”

Your motorized blinds can be programmed to automatically close at dusk as you turn on your lights.

If privacy is important to you then motorized blinds are a must. You can set the time you prefer to have them automatically close. You don’t have to remember to do it every day nor do you have to run around trying to close all of your shades as the sun goes down. It’s a great time-saving feature and a sure way to avoid any nosy neighbours or annoying streetlight glare.

“Save Energy” 

Solar sensor presets will automatically adjust their position based on how much sun there is.

Let’s face it – who wouldn’t love to save on their utility bills? Installing solar sensor presets with your motorized shades will help you reduce the amount of energy you use by utilizing the full potential of the sun’s heat in the winter and blocking its heating effects in the summer. The Thermo Sunis Indoor Wirefree RTS Sun Sensor from Somfy is battery powered and completely wireless. It mounts easily to the inside of your window or window sill. It allows for automatic operation of motorized interior window coverings according to the amount of sunlight and the temperature of your room.
