About the Motorized Roller Blind

A roller blind is a single sheet of fabric that rolls up into a headrail. No pleats, no fabric bunching out into the room — it takes up less space at the window than any other type, which is why it tends to win in condos and in rooms where furniture sits tight against the glass.

Swap the chain for a motor and the fabric moves on a remote, a phone app or a wall switch. The benefit people actually talk about isn't luxury, it's reach: transoms above doors, full-height glass, a window stranded behind a big sofa. Nobody climbs up to pull a chain on those every single day.

How dark the room gets is decided by the fabric, not the motor. The same blind can be a sunscreen you still see the view through, or a blackout that lets nothing past. Picking the wrong one is the hardest thing to undo later, because the fabric has already been cut to your window.

Fabrics and colours to pick from

The number beside each fabric is roughly how much light it blocks.

  • Dim-out Sand · Light block 75%
  • Dim-out Grey · Light block 80%
  • Blackout Ivory · Light block 100%
  • Blackout Charcoal · Light block 100%
  • Sunscreen Sheer · Light block 45%

Motor specs

Figures from the manufacturers' spec sheets. A higher-torque motor carries a heavier blind, so it suits wide openings and heavy fabric.

What it does well, and where it falls short

The limits up front, so nothing is a surprise once it's on the wall.

Where it works well

  • Bedrooms you want properly dark at night, then opened from bed in the morning
  • High glass, transoms above doors, or windows blocked by furniture you can't reach past
  • Rooms where you want a clean face with no chain hanging down
  • Condos and tight rooms where the sofa or bed sits right against the glass
  • Finished homes — nothing needs knocking out, as long as there's a socket near the headrail

Where we'd point you elsewhere

  • Openings too wide for one unit — a single sheet gets heavy and sags, so it's split into units side by side
  • Very small openings like a bathroom vent — there's a minimum size we make, listed in the table below
  • Spots with no socket near the headrail and no appetite for wiring — the answer there is a battery motor
  • If you want soft folds of hanging fabric, a roller blind will never give you that look

How to choose without regretting it

Work through these in order and the choice narrows fast.

  1. 1

    Start with one question: how dark does this room need to be?

    Sleeping in daylight or living with a streetlight outside? Go blackout. Just cutting glare in a living room but keeping the view? Sunscreen. Dim-out sits between the two — dark enough for daytime TV without making the room feel closed in.

  2. 2

    Sheer doesn't mean useless against the sun

    Sunscreen is a tight open weave — it takes the heat and glare off while you still see out. People rule it out assuming sheer means pointless, but it's what most living rooms and glass balconies end up with.

  3. 3

    Inside the reveal or over the frame — decide at the measure

    Inside the reveal looks neater and doesn't intrude, but light always leaks down both edges. Mounting over the frame eats a little wall on each side and leaks far less. Bedrooms that need real darkness usually end up mounted outside.

  4. 4

    Find the socket before you commit

    A wired motor needs a socket near the headrail. If there isn't one, an electrician has to add it first — we don't do wiring. The other route is a rechargeable battery motor, which needs no cable at all.

  5. 5

    Dark or light isn't only a looks decision

    Light fabric bounces light back out and keeps the room feeling bright even when closed. Dark fabric kills glare and gives a clearer view outward, but the fabric itself soaks up more heat.

How the price is worked out

Roller blinds are priced by the square yard of fabric, not as a flat price per blind. A bigger window costs more because it uses more fabric, and there's a minimum per unit — anything smaller than that minimum is charged at the minimum.

The motor is charged separately per unit and isn't included in the fabric price, and for this category installation is charged by the size of each unit. The starting numbers are in the table below. The real figure is confirmed after the on-site measure, once the fabric and the number of units are settled.

The starting numbers for this type

  • Starting price — 690 THB/sq yd
  • Minimum per unit — 1.5 sq yd
  • Motor per unit — 5,000 THB
  • Installation per unit — 200-2,500 THB per unit depending on size
  • Sizes we make per unit — Width 50+ · Height 100+ cm
  • Light block — 40–100%
  • Excludes VAT · the final price depends on fabric grade and how many units

What moves the price

  • Which fabric you pick — sunscreen, dim-out and blackout are not priced the same
  • The size of each blind, since it's priced on actual fabric area
  • How many units in total, because installation is charged per unit
  • Whether old blinds need taking down first — charged separately
  • Ceilings high enough to need scaffolding cost extra
  • Wired motor or rechargeable battery motor

Looking after it

Dust it with the blind fully down

Roll it all the way down first, then work top to bottom with a soft brush or a vacuum brush head. Don't sweep upward — that pushes dust into the roll. Once a month is plenty in a normal room.

Spot-clean marks, never scrub

Dab the mark with a damp — not wet — sponge. Don't rub in circles: most roller fabrics are surface-coated and scrubbing leaves a dull patch. Keep solvents and bleach away from it.

Let it dry fully before rolling it up

The one people forget. Roll it up damp and the layers sit pressed against each other — you get a musty smell or ring-shaped stains. Leave it down until it's completely dry.

Don't fight the motor while it's running

Want it to stop halfway? Press stop — don't grab the fabric. In a power cut you can pull it by hand; it feels stiffer than a manual blind, and that's the motor doing its job, not a fault.

FAQ

Questions we get about this one

What happens in a power cut?

It doesn't get stuck — you can pull it by hand, though it feels a little stiffer than a manual blind.

Is the motor noisy in a bedroom?

Quieter than an electric fan.

My home is already finished — can I still fit motorized blinds?

Yes, nothing needs to be knocked out. You do need a power socket near the headrail — if there isn't one, an electrician must add it first (we don't do wiring), or you can choose a battery motor instead.

Is there a motor that needs no wiring?

Yes — a rechargeable battery motor. About 2 hours to charge, and it runs 4-6 months per charge.

How do I operate it?

Remote control, a phone app, or a wall switch. The app is Tuya, and no separate hub box is needed. Some brands include one remote.

Which motor brands do you use, and how long do they last?

Somfy, Novo, Kacee and Uni. They typically last 5-10 years, and we warrant the motor for 6 years.

Can the roller fabric be taken down and washed?

Roller fabric isn't made to come off and go in a machine — it's cut and edged to fit that exact tube, and washing usually shrinks or twists it so it never rolls straight again. Regular dusting and spot-cleaning is the right care.

Light still leaks down the edges — is that a fault?

It's normal. Every roller blind needs a little clearance between fabric and wall so it can roll without scuffing. If you want the least leak possible, mount it over the frame rather than inside the reveal — decide that at the measure.

Worth reading first

Guides that cover this product in full — no need to message us to find out.

What does a motorized roller blind cost? Every part of the price, explained

A motorized roller blind isn't an off-the-shelf product with one price. It's priced by fabric area, then a motor and a fitting charge per unit. Here's every component, plus the square-yard formula you can run on a calculator yourself.

Motorized or manual blinds: what actually changes, and which rooms need which

Same fabric, same look — the only difference is whether you pull it or press a button. So the real question isn't which is better, it's which windows are worth paying a motor for.

Your home is already finished — can you still fit motorized blinds?

Short answer: yes, and nothing needs to be knocked out. The only real question is where the power comes from — and there are three ways to answer it.

Wooden blinds or roller blinds? How to choose between them

These two are nearly three times apart in price, and people still pick by looks alone — when in fact they solve different problems.

Curtains for a condo: what to choose, and what building management needs to know

A condo differs from a house in two ways that matter here: you don't own everything you might want to drill into, and the glass is usually larger than the room can comfortably take.

Blackout or sunscreen fabric: what each one actually does

Most people pick fabric by colour, when the thing that decides whether the room works is how much light it stops — and the same colour comes in several levels.

How to measure your own windows before asking for a price

You don't need fitter-level precision — we measure properly before anything is made. But a decent measurement now means the price we send back is far closer to the real one.

Ready-made or made-to-measure motorized blinds: which one do you actually need?

Ready-made motorized blinds are a real option and not a bad one — they just answer a different question. Here is the honest comparison, and which windows suit which.

Choosing a curtain shop: seven things to ask before you pay a deposit

The hard part is not finding out who is more expensive. It is that no two quotes count the same things, so they cannot be laid side by side. These seven questions make them comparable.

What is a zip blind? How it differs from a normal roller blind, and where it's used

A zip blind is a type of roller blind whose two side edges don't hang free — they run inside channels for the full height. That one detail is why it tends to be chosen for the outside of glass, balconies and patios, while an ordinary roller blind mostly stays indoors.

Do motorized blinds work in a power cut? Plug-in and battery motors compared

It comes down to where the motor gets its power. A plug-in motor stops until the power comes back. A rechargeable battery motor isn't affected by a mains cut, because it never ran off the socket in the first place.

Which curtain motor brand should you choose? How to read Somfy and Novo specs first

"Which brand is good" can't be answered with a brand name alone — one brand makes many models with different strength and different controls. What matters is that model's specs against your window. This guide walks through each spec, with figures from the manufacturers' sheets.

Controlling motorized blinds from your phone: the Tuya app, WiFi and what to check before ordering

Our motorized blinds can be run three ways: a remote, a phone app, or a wall switch. The app is Tuya and no separate hub box is needed. But before ordering, confirm that the exact motor model you'll get supports the app — the models don't all list the same controls.

Bedroom curtains: how to get the room properly dark

Plenty of bedrooms have opaque fabric and still wake up bright. The fabric is rarely the problem — the light is coming in around it.

Blinds for heat and afternoon sun: what actually helps a west-facing room

A blind doesn't make the sun go away. It only changes where the sunlight lands once it's through the glass. Start from that and choosing fabric for an afternoon-sun room gets much easier than picking by colour.

Vertical blinds or roller blinds? How they differ, and which suits a sliding door

These two are both priced by the square yard, so people assume either will do. In fact they move in different directions and suit different openings.

How long does a made-to-measure curtain order take? Every step from first message to fitted

Anyone about to order made-to-measure curtains wants to know three things first: how long the wait is, what gets paid when, and what to have ready. Here is our process one step at a time, from the first LINE message to the fitter packing up.

Motorized blind warranty: how many years, what to do if the motor fails, and how to make it last

A motorized blind has one part a manual blind doesn't: the motor. So the warranty question always follows. Here are our warranty figures part by part, what isn't covered, and what to do when a blind stops moving.

Living room curtains: how to choose, and what suits a big sliding glass door

A living room isn't a bedroom: it doesn't need darkness, it needs the right amount of light, a view you can still see, and privacy once the lamps are on. So the right choice is rarely the most opaque fabric. It's the one that fits how the room is used through the day.

Office blinds: vertical, sunscreen roller or wooden, room by room

An office asks different things of a blind than a home does. Darkness is rarely the point. Screen glare, long runs of glass and low-effort upkeep are. This guide goes room by room through vertical blinds, sunscreen rollers and wooden blinds, then covers what the person signing it off usually asks: price, fitting times and tax invoices.

Outdoor roller blinds for a front patio, balcony or carport: what to know before ordering

An outdoor roller blind uses the same fabric and mechanism as an indoor one, but the sheet is bigger and it lives with sun, wind and splashing water. So the decisions aren't only about fabric colour. They're about where it's fixed, which motor drives it, and where the power comes from.
