At WindowTreat, transparency is part of our DNA. Many people wonder why automated blinds cost more than traditional window coverings. The answer is simple. You are investing in precision engineering, premium materials, and a level of convenience that transforms how your home feels and functions.
While every project is bespoke, the overall price is shaped by several key factors.
The intelligence behind smart blinds comes from a compact, highly engineered motor system designed for quiet, dependable performance.
We specify Somfy motors because they are the global benchmark for reliability, whisper‑quiet operation, and long service life. Cheaper motors may reduce the upfront cost, but they introduce noise, jamming, inconsistent movement, and early failure. Cutting costs here only means cutting quality.
Whether your blinds are battery powered or hardwired, the engineering behind each option influences the price. Hardwiring requires more complex installation. Long‑life rechargeable battery systems demand higher‑grade components.
Smart blinds rely on internal hardware and software that allow seamless integration with Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) or Zigbee. Somfy’s worldwide testing and support ensure stable, secure, and future‑proof connectivity.
What you see and touch every day matters.
We select fabrics and materials for durability, light control, UV resistance, and energy performance. Higher‑quality materials resist fading, warping, and wear, ensuring your blinds look beautiful for years.
From the headbox to the bottom bar, every component is engineered for strength and smooth operation. Aluminium and advanced composites deliver a clean, refined finish that lasts.
Your windows are unique, and your blinds should be too.
Unlike off‑the‑shelf products, every WindowTreat blind is manufactured to your exact dimensions. This precision ensures flawless operation and a perfect aesthetic.
Larger windows require more powerful motors, more fabric, and stronger components. These factors naturally influence the overall cost.
Automation is only valuable when it works seamlessly with your lifestyle.
Scheduling, voice control, and app‑based operation rely on continuous software development and updates. Somfy’s global ecosystem ensures long‑term compatibility and stability.
Ensuring reliable performance with major smart home platforms requires extensive testing and certification. This investment protects your system from obsolescence.
Our experience is as important as the products.
We support you from the first conversation to the final installation. Our team helps you choose the right solution, understand the options, and avoid costly mistakes.
We stand behind every product we install. Strong support gives you peace of mind long after installation day.
When companies cut costs, they cut quality. Whether it is the motor, the fabric, the bottom bar, or the installation team, the knock‑on effect is always the same. Reduced performance, reduced lifespan, and reduced service. WindowTreat refuses to compromise on any of these.
Automated blinds are more than window coverings. They are an upgrade to your home. They enhance comfort, improve energy efficiency by managing solar heat gain, and protect your furnishings from UV damage. Most importantly, they deliver effortless control at the touch of a button or a simple voice command.
We are committed to offering the best long‑term value. Quality, innovation, and longevity are never sacrificed.
