One remote, one wall switch or one app for every blind on the fairway side of the house — because a wall of glass with six chains was never going to work.
Eagle Canyon homes are built around wide stacking doors and double-volume windows facing the fairway. Manually, that's six separate chains, a few unreachable clerestory panes, and a daily argument with the afternoon sun. Motorised, the whole wall moves together — one press when the glare arrives, one press when it's gone, or a timer that does it without you.
Grouping is the real magic: every blind on the west wall as one command, bedrooms as another, the whole house as a "leaving now" scene. It's the difference between owning shading and operating it.
Two honest routes. Rechargeable battery motors fit into the blind's tube, need no wiring, charge a couple of times a year like a phone — and keep working straight through load shedding. Wired 230V motors suit new builds and renovations where the electrician can reach the window before the ceilings close. Both drive from a remote, a wall switch, an app, or timed schedules.
We group and motorise the same way for stacking doors in Ruimsig, double-volume windows in Featherbrooke Estate, ridge-top glazing in Northcliff and the established homes of Constantia Kloof — one button for a wall that used to mean six chains.
Motorisation is not something you buy separately, since the motor lives inside a product. Anything we automate installs somewhere between R2,500 and R7,500 for each square metre of glass it covers. Least of all is an interior roller with a motor in the tube range; an exterior system built to live outdoors through West Rand summers is at the top.
Sun and wind sensors, wall keypads and hubs are quoted on their own lines rather than folded into a rate, so you can weigh each window separately. Small openings carry a minimum charge. Every figure here is orientation only: the number that counts follows the free measure, once we know how many motors there are, what each drives and how each is to be powered.
Free in-home measure, written per-window quote, no pressure.
