In the past, motorised window coverings often had very noisy motors, and having them installed usually meant visible cables, unsightly trunking and in some cases, having to get an electrician in. Thankfully, things have moved on and blinds are mostly battery powered, with the batteries being discreetly hidden either inside or behind the blind – meaning minimal fuss, no more cables or cords to get tangled up in and ease of installation.

At Talbot & Son, we can provide almost all of our products with the option of motorisation. At the touch of a button, a swipe on an app, or even voice command on your smart speaker such as Alexa or Google Home; you could open your blinds and curtains effortlessly.

What used to be a distant dream for the home of the future, is here now! We can provide a full home automation range through Somfy’s Tahoma system, or if you already use one, we can integrate our motorisation into the most popular existing home automation systems.
