Why Motorised?
Motorised blinds are a great way to bring comfort, convenience, and modern living into your home. At Blind Trader we use Somfy motors for all of our electric blinds and curtains, giving you reliable performance with smooth and quiet movement every time. Somfy technology lets you control your shading with a handset, wall switch, phone app, or full smart home integration. It is ideal for hard to reach windows, larger installations, and anyone who wants effortless light control at the touch of a button.
Awnings & Pergolas
Motorised awnings and pergolas are a great way to enhance outdoor living with comfort, convenience, and smooth effortless control. We use Somfy motors for all of our electric systems, giving you reliable operation with quiet, powerful performance. With Somfy technology you can open and close your awning or adjust your pergola roof using a handset, wall switch, phone app, or full smart home integration. It is perfect for creating shade, managing heat, and enjoying outdoor spaces with ease, whether at home or in a commercial setting.
