Motorised window furnishings

Motorise any blind, shutter or curtain

Motorisation isn’t its own product, it’s an upgrade you can add to almost anything we install: roller and honeycomb blinds, Venetians, plantation shutters, curtains, roller shutters, Zipscreen and awnings. Here’s why it’s worth it, and the power and brand options Jackson fits.

Ease of use

Open and close with a remote, app or voice command instead of a wand or cord, on one blind or a whole house of them at once.

Better wear and tear management

No more cords, chains or wands getting caught, tangled or yanked. Motors apply smooth, consistent movement that’s gentler on the fabric and mechanism long-term.

Hard-to-reach areas made easy

Skylights, stairwells, high windows and oversized glazing, anywhere a pole or cord simply can’t reach, motorisation makes fully operable again.

Accessibility for older people and people with a disability

A single button press instead of a physical pull or reach. A genuinely practical upgrade for reduced mobility, strength or dexterity.

Power options

Solar, battery or hard wired

Jackson will help you pick the right power source for each window based on access to power, how often it’s used, and the install itself.

Power option

Solar

A small solar panel keeps the motor’s battery topped up using natural light, so there’s no cabling and no manual recharging. The natural fit for outdoor blinds, awnings and skylights, or any window without a nearby power point.

Power option

Battery

A rechargeable lithium battery inside the motor, wire-free and simple to retrofit onto your existing blinds. Ideal for renovations, rentals, or anywhere running new cabling isn’t practical.

Power option

Hard wired

A permanent 240V connection run by a licensed electrician. No batteries to charge, ever, just constant, reliable power. The go-to choice for new builds and full renovations, or blinds used multiple times a day.
