Motorised Blinds & Automation for Brooklyn Homes

Tubular motors inside the blind roll control by remote, wall switch, phone app, schedule or sensor — the premium upsell across every product line, and on Brooklyn's tall veranda gables or wide living-room glass, often the only practical option. Reaching a chain three metres up an original stairwell window was never a comfortable job; a motor removes the question entirely.

Rechargeable battery motors need no wiring and suit a retrofit onto an existing veranda window — charge every few months via a USB-style charger, the default for apartments and character homes where running new cable is unwelcome. Wired 220V motors suit a renovation or extension, permanent and best for big or heavy systems and anything exterior, with an electrician involved at the planning stage.

Control layers scale with how far you want to take it: a single handset for one blind, an app for the whole house from the couch or the office, schedules that open bedroom blinds at sunrise and drop west-facing ones at three in the afternoon in summer, and sun or wind sensors that act automatically — the wind sensor being the safety-critical one on any exterior product, retracting an awning or zip screen before a Highveld storm does the damage instead.

Honest expectations

No dangling chains makes motorised operation the most child-safe option there is, and quality motors are quiet — not silent — with multi-year guarantees as standard. Battery motors need that periodic charge; we set the expectation clearly at quote stage so there are no surprises after fitting.
