Radio Technology Somfy®

With over 10 million systems installed throughout the world, RTS is the industry standard for radio-controlled window covering solutions.

With its mess-free installation, the system can be expanded to all your windows and doors.

The system is easy to install and as there is no wiring between the control units and motors, your décor remains intact. Radio technology makes it easy to adapt the system at a later date so you can manage all motorised systems remotely (roller shutters, external Venetian blinds, patio awnings, garage door, gate, etc.).

Window coverings help to form the character of your décor as well as providing privacy and eliminating glare. When motorised and automated by Somfy, they will enhance your well-being for years to come.

The curtain simply hooks onto a rail on which the motor is installed.

The motorised rail is designed to blend in with the décor.There is a choice of side or centre opening.

Converting from manual to motorised is so easy!

It is simple to motorise your blinds, curtains and projection screens without having to change everything or damaging your décor.Talk to your installer!
