What Our Clients Say
We purchased block out blinds from Harmony Blinds nearly a decade ago and they have been excellent – still in good condition. Now we have changed our windows and need new blinds to suit them. Michael and Alicia Watson from Harmony have been very patient, talking us through a range of options to help address the challenging western sun without losing views or privacy. Highly recommend this family owned business to anyone considering new blinds or window furnishings!

Brand Comparison
Somfy, Key Advantages
When considering how to bring automation to your window coverings, a number of systems are available. We look at how Somfy stands alongside others, helping you make a selection that suits your home.
Quiet, long-term performance
Somfy motors run quietly and are built for long life. They are engineered for thousands of cycles, often lasting ten to fifteen years. Many alternatives are noisier or wear out sooner.
Controls and smart integration
You can use remotes, wall switches, apps, and voice control. Somfy hubs support schedules and sensor links. Some other systems offer fewer control options or limited smart home links.
Warranty and build quality
Somfy provides a five-year motor warranty, reflecting strong materials and construction. Shorter warranties elsewhere can indicate lower confidence in longevity.
How to choose your motor
Prioritise quiet operation, simple control, and proven lifespan. Somfy focuses on everyday ease and reliability that stays with you for years.
Somfy Frequently Asked Questions
Still unsure if custom window furnishings are right for you?
How long do Somfy motors last?
Somfy motors are built for longevity. Each motor undergoes extensive testing to ensure it can perform thousands of cycles. In most homes, a Somfy motor will easily last 10-15 years or more with normal use.
Will I still be able to operate my blinds manually?
No – with motorised systems, your blinds or curtains are fully automated and don’t have manual chains or cords. However, you gain far greater convenience, safety, and a clean, cord-free look.
Can I add motorisation to my existing blinds or curtains?
In some cases, yes. It depends on the type and age of your existing window furnishings. We’re happy to assess your current setup and let you know the best options. Often, it’s more cost-effective and reliable to install new blinds or curtains that are purpose-built for automation.
What are my control options?
You can choose from:
Handheld remotes (single or multi-channel to control multiple blinds)
Wall switches (wired or wireless)
Smartphone app control via Somfy’s Connexoon or Tahoma hub
Voice control through Google Assistant, Alexa, or similar
We’ll help you pick the combination that best suits your home and lifestyle.
Will Somfy work with my smart home system?
Yes. Somfy systems can integrate with most major smart home ecosystems. If you already have a setup (like Google Home or Amazon Alexa), we can configure your new blinds or curtains to work seamlessly with your existing devices.
Is it expensive to motorise?
Motorisation does add to the initial cost compared to manual blinds, but many homeowners find the long-term benefits – including energy savings, UV protection, convenience, and added property value – make it well worth the investment. We can provide tailored quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
What warranty comes with Somfy motors?
Somfy motors typically come with a 5-year warranty, giving you peace of mind that you’re investing in quality technology backed by a trusted global brand.
