Somfy’s battery-powered motors are whisper quiet, making them ideal for bedrooms where peace and uninterrupted sleep matter most. Designed for convenience, their fast-charging, built-in lithium-ion battery lasts for almost a full year without needing a recharge. When it’s time to top up, an LED light lets you know,so you can enjoy effortless comfort all year round.
Option 2- Motor connected via electrical wiring
Wired motors are the ideal choice for new home builds and renovations, allowing smart blinds to be seamlessly integrated from the start.
