Motorisation
Make everyday light control effortless with motorised blinds from Don Smith Blinds. Adjust the shade, create privacy or open your blinds to enjoy the view — all at the touch of a button.
As specialists in automated blinds, we offer motorised solutions for everyday windows, conservatory roofs, gables, skylights and roof lanterns.
Effortless Control for Hard-to-Reach Windows
Motorisation makes high windows and roof blinds easy to operate, without the need for poles, cords or handles.
Control individual blinds or operate several together to adjust the shading across your room. It’s a convenient option for large glazed spaces and anyone who finds manual blinds difficult to reach or use.
Your Choice of Controls
Operate your blinds using a remote control or wall-mounted wireless switch. Compatible systems also offer smartphone apps and voice control, allowing you to adjust your blinds wherever you are in the room.
Available features depend on the motor and control system. Some options require an additional smart hub.
Mains, Battery and Solar Options
Our range includes mains-powered and battery-powered blinds, with solar charging available on selected systems.
Battery power offers an option where a nearby electrical supply is unavailable. Mains power provides a permanent supply without the need to recharge batteries.
Power options vary depending on the blind system and installation.
Blinds That Fit Your Routine
With compatible timer controls, your blinds can open and close automatically at set times. Welcome daylight in the morning and create privacy as evening approaches.
Scheduled closing also makes it easy to use the insulating benefits of cellular blinds as part of your evening routine.
Motorisation Across Our Range
Motorisation is available across a selection of our blind ranges, including roller, Venetian, pleated and cellular blinds.
For conservatory roofs, gable windows, skylights and lanterns, motorised operation brings convenient control to glazing that can otherwise be difficult to reach.
TOTAL CONTROL
All of our mains and battery powered blinds can be programmed to RF remote controls, available in many styles, from single to sixteen channel remotes or wall mounted wireless switches.
The Somfy Smoove Touch wall mounted switches also come with optional surrounds available in white, silver, black or various wood effects
SECURITY
We also offer the Somfy Chronis RTS capable of controlling all of your blinds wirelessly from one location within your home, with the ability to have your blinds open/close at specific times, or based on the pre-programmed sun rise/sun set feature. When the Chronis is in security mode it will automatically open/close your blinds randomly 30 minutes either side of a specified time, giving the appearance that someone is home.
The Somfy Tahoma® and Louvolite One Touch™ Home Hub give you the ability to control your blinds using your smartphone.
MOTORISED ROLLERS
Roller blinds are a traditional, stylish blind that can be rolled up or down at the touch of a button to achieve the required level of shading for you.
MOTORISED GABLE
All of our Gable blinds are motorised so without getting up from your seat, you can filter the daylight at the push of a button
MOTORISED SKYLIGHT
With the huge popularity of Skylight windows in the home being fitted in open plan kitchens, lofts, and bedrooms, we offer Perfect Fit International (PFI) Skylight blinds in a broad range of fabrics.
Complete motorisation allows you to easily open and close your blind with smooth slow movements at the touch of a button.
