Quick summary
Motorisation makes sense if the blind runs smoothly, is heavy or is used daily. If it is stiff or stuck, repair first.
When it is worth it
For heavy blinds, large windows, daily use or accessibility needs.
What is checked first
Weight, axle, casing, guides, slats and mechanical condition to choose the right motor.
Motorise or replace
If the blind is badly worn, a new motor-ready installation may be better.
When to call
Call if you want to automate an existing blind or if the current motor makes noise but does not move it.
Frequently asked questions

Often yes, but weight, axle, casing, slats and guides must be checked.
What if the blind is stiff?
It may strain the motor and shorten its service life.
Does it help accessibility?
Yes, it reduces effort and makes heavy blinds easier to use.
