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.

Motorise a blind: when it makes sense

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.
