Motorised Blinds & Automation, Green Point
Wall-switch, remote or app control with sun and wind sensors — the practical answer for a wall of glass three storeys up.
Why motorisation earns its keep here
A lot of Green Point glazing simply isn't reachable by chain — full-height glass in a double-volume living room, a run of six blinds across one wall, or a window above a stair void. Motorisation is the practical answer on those spans, not just the premium upsell it is elsewhere, and it's what lets a wide glass wall move as one gesture instead of six separate cords.
Power options
Rechargeable battery motors need no wiring and suit a retrofit into an existing apartment — charge every few months via a USB-style charger, no electrician required. Wired 220V motors suit a renovation or a new fit-out where the wiring can go in before the ceiling closes, and they're the better call for big or heavy exterior products like awnings and roller shutters. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your build stage rather than defaulting to whichever is easier to quote.
Control layers
A single remote can run every blind in the apartment, or app control lets you check from the office whether you left the west-facing blinds up before a hot afternoon. Schedules drop the bedroom blind at sunrise or the marina-facing blinds at 15:00 in midsummer; sun sensors do the same automatically. Wind sensors matter most on anything mounted outside — they retract an awning or zip screen before a south-easter gust does it for you, which is the single biggest failure mode we see on exterior products here.
Safety, honestly
No dangling chains is the most child-safe operation there is, and on a high floor it also means nothing left loose against an open sliding door in the wind. Motors are quiet, not silent, and a battery motor still needs that periodic charge — we set that expectation at quote stage rather than after installation.
