Motorised Blinds


Motorisation has taken blinds into a new era of sophistication, convenience and functionality.

Motorisation has been one of the main driving factors behind positioning Window Treatments’ blinds and awnings as leaders in the market place.

Thanks to new technology in the motorisation of blinds we can now offer the option of remote controlled motorisation on most of our blinds and awnings.

Forget climbing over the furniture or having to stand on a chair to manually open or close your blinds. With motorisation you can sit back, relax and enjoy touch of a button convenience and control.

Window Treatments NZ Ltd are an Authorised Somy Automation Specialist.

Motorisation by Window Treatments is effected with electrically powered discreet and quiet tubular motors which are operated by wall mounted switch, remote control or interfaced with your building management system. The motor is installed directly in the headrail or tube. It is compact, quiet and powerful, and can operate any size blind. Motors for Venetian blinds can tilt the slats very accurately.

In existing applications where electrical circuits are difficult to install we now have specialised motors powered by compact long-life batteries which will operate for up to five years per battery.

Optional timer controls and sun sensors, which can be teamed with motorisation, are of great benefit for those who like to have their furnishings protected when they are at work or away on holiday. The sun sensors will raise and lower your blinds as required to protect your carpet, furniture and artworks. With a timer control you can programme your blinds to open and shut at certain times of the day to conserve energy.

Motorisation also eliminates the need for unsightly chains or cords and allows easy accessibility to high or difficult to reach windows. It is easily installed as retrofit and can be integrated with home or commercial building automation systems. Window Treatments has a full time Motorisation Manager who can consult with you or your architect and electrician at planning stage for all large domestic or commercial commissions.

Window Treatments use motors and control systems by French company Somfy who are considered world leaders in automated systems.

Somfy has over thirty-five years of experience in the motorisation field. Their tubular motors are some of the world’s quietest and with a radio receiver built inside, it is simply a matter of plugging them in to a power point. Programming can then be managed easily with the use of the radio remote control.

Stress simulation tests are performed and their products are tested under extreme conditions. All Somfy products are certified according to current technical and safety regulations. Window Treatments, in conjunction with Somfy, guarantee excellent product quality, installation and simplicity of use for all customers. Motors are guaranteed for five years.

Window Treatments can install Somfy motors or automated systems when you are remodelling or building a new home or commercial building, or we can retrofit to an existing system.  We can convert most types of blinds and awnings.

Combined with home and building automation systems, sun and wind sensors, motorisation can automatically protect interiors from UV damage, control sun and glare and be a large component of temperature management.

With sun sensors and/or timer controls you can take advantage of natural solar heating or minimise the heat entering your home or building, reducing air conditioning requirements.

Somfy automation systems are designed to improve your comfort, security and energy efficiency – making life easier.

Home Management Systems

...the next generation is here...

The next generation of home automation systems and building management systems are smart, reliable, easy to use and practically essential for all new quality builds.

Our Automation Project Manager oversees the integration of Window Treatments’ blind and awning operations in all types of systems in New Zealand and off-shore.

Commercial or domestic customers can include their blinds and awnings into their automation systems and programme their control in a variety of ways, linking them with timers, sun and wind sensors as necessary.

Many customers are using automation systems as a further solution to sustainability and energy conservation strategies, both commercially and domestically. You can programme your blinds to adjust to the sun’s rays or via a timer so that your home or office is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer. You can easily protect your interior furnishings by blocking the sun’s harmful rays and, if a wind blows up, your awning/s will automatically retract so no wind-gust damage can occur.

Systems can be accessed and controlled remotely on-line from anywhere in the world, by phone or by on-site display modules and/or individual ‘intelligent’ wall switches.

The majority of projects Window Treatments is involved with include automation systems for security, lights, garage doors, heating, home theatre and of course blinds and awnings. Apart from light control, sustainable strategies and security purposes, automation system controlled blinds are aesthetically pleasing. They are essential for applications such as wall to wall, floor to floor glazing as there are no unsightly cords or controls visible.

Window Treatments can motorise and integrate any blinds or awnings, apart from verticals and shutters, to automation systems. Our highly skilled automation staff are experienced in working with all automation systems, architects, builders, electricians and technicians. For further assistance and advice on your future comfort, phone Window Treatments – we are experts in the automation field.
