Hi, Rohn raises an interesting point about the quality of the interfaces for users. i’m pleased to see that he compares them to the \really good\ motorised systems available for Roller Blinds of which Somfy is one of the major suppliers. Are there any other barriers to people not specifying motorised window coverings in their homes?

Hi, one of the problems at this stage to the extended use of motorised Plantation Shutters is the motors, remotes etc that are commercially available. All we have at the moment is an motorised panel that is for interiour use only and lacks the sophistication of a really good motorised system such as you can get for Roller Blinds or example. More work needed I think!
