Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I have to wait to have them installed?

Next day. We like to give the motors a full charge and test prior to installing them. We can install same day if requested.

Will this change the look of my blinds?

No. The motor is concealed inside the roller tube, so your blinds look exactly the same — just without chains.

Do I need smart home gear to use the blinds?

No. Blinds can be operated by remote as standard. App and voice control are available via the Neo Smart Link Box if you choose to add it.

Is this suitable for apartments and body corporate rules?

Yes. This is a non-invasive retrofit with no changes to windows, frames, walls, or building infrastructure.

How long does installation take?

One hour, two at most. Most apartments are completed quickly, with minimal disruption and no mess.

Can I motorise just one blind or add more later?

Yes. You can start with a single blind and expand to additional blinds at any time.

Can I motorise my existing blinds?

In many cases, yes. Existing roller blinds can often be upgraded with a motor without replacing the fabric or brackets. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to move from manual to motorised blinds.

Do motorised blinds need an electrician?

No. Most modern motorised blinds use low-voltage or battery-powered motors and do not require any electrical wiring. Installation can usually be completed with basic tools.

What’s the difference between motorised blinds and smart blinds?

Motorised blinds use a motor to open and close the blind, typically via remote or wall switch.
Smart blinds add app control, scheduling, and voice assistants on top of a motorised system.
👉 Motorised blinds are the foundation. Smart blinds are the upgrade.

Can motorised blinds be upgraded to smart control later?

Yes. Many motorised systems can be upgraded later with smart hubs or controllers, allowing app control, automation, and voice commands without replacing the motor or blind.

Are motorised blinds safe for children and pets?

Yes. Motorised blinds eliminate hanging cords and chains, making them a safer option for homes with children and pets and helping meet modern safety standards.

How long do motorised blind motors last?

Quality motors are designed for long-term daily use. With correct sizing and installation, motors typically last many years with minimal maintenance.

Are motorised blinds noisy?

No. Modern motors operate quietly and smoothly, making them suitable for bedrooms, living areas, and open-plan homes.

Are motorised blinds expensive?

Motorised blinds are more affordable than many people expect, especially when upgrading existing blinds rather than replacing them entirely. DIY motorisation options significantly reduce overall cost.

Can motorised blinds be used outdoors?

Yes. Certain motors are designed specifically for outdoor blinds and shutters, offering reliable performance in exposed conditions when correctly specified.

Can I get motorised blinds supplied Australia-wide?

Yes. Motorised blind systems can be supplied Australia-wide with support available for setup, compatibility, and future upgrades.

What’s the best way to start with motorised blinds?

Many homeowners start by motorising their blinds first, then adding smart control later once they’re comfortable with the system. This approach keeps costs down while leaving room to upgrade.
