Motorised blinds bring cordless convenience and a clean, modern look to Cape Town homes, and Window Blinds Cape Town supplies and installs them with load-shedding-friendly battery and solar options. Free measure and quote — call 081 411 8471.
Motor Options
- Rechargeable lithium battery motors (Somfy, Louvolite, A-OK) — no wiring, recharged every few months, and unaffected by load-shedding.
- Solar-assisted motors — a small panel trickle-charges the battery, ideal for sunny Cape aspects.
- Wired 240V motors — for new builds and renovations where cabling is accessible.
Control & Smart Home
Operate blinds by handheld remote, wall switch, or your phone. With a Somfy TaHoma or Louvolite hub you can add timers, sun sensors and voice control (Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home), and group blinds so a whole room drops at sunset to cut heat and glare.
Where Motorised Blinds Make Sense
They are the practical choice for high stairwell and clerestory windows, wide living-room spans, and any home with young children where dangling cords are a hazard. Most fabrics can be motorised — roller, blockout and venetian included.
Load-Shedding & Cape Town
Because our battery and solar motors store their own charge, motorised blinds keep working normally during load-shedding — a common question from Cape Town clients. A full charge typically lasts 3–6 months of daily use.
Our Process
- Free on-site measure and a demo of the motor and app.
- Written quote on your sizes, fabrics and control choice.
- Manufacture, usually 7–14 working days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do motorised blinds work during load-shedding?
Yes. Our battery and solar-powered motors store their own charge, so they operate normally during load-shedding. A charge usually lasts three to six months.
How much do motorised blinds cost in Cape Town?
As a guide, a motorised roller blind supplied and installed is about R2,500 to R6,000 per blind depending on size, fabric and motor. We quote per window.
Can I control the blinds from my phone?
Yes. With a Somfy TaHoma or Louvolite hub you can control blinds by app, set timers and sun sensors, and use Google, Alexa or Apple voice assistants.
Can you motorise blinds I already have?
In many cases yes, if the mechanism suits a retrofit motor. We assess this at the free measure and advise whether retrofit or replacement is better value.
