How to select the right motorised system for your roller shutters

1. Standard: retrofit, built-in, or with tunnel box.
2. Projection
3. Adjustable slats.
For each new construction or renovation project, Somfy will advise you and provide a customised solution for motorising all your roller shutters!
Several ranges of motors may meet your needs:
