Keep the shutter, lose the winding. We convert manual roller shutters, outdoor blinds and crank awnings to motorised operation — usually for far less than a new system, because your existing curtain and guides stay right where they are.
Inside the pelmet, a manual shutter and a motorised one are mostly the same hardware — the difference is what turns the axle. A conversion replaces the winder or strap drive with a tubular motor sized to your curtain, adds a remote or wall switch, and leaves everything you can see untouched.
That's why converting usually costs a fraction of replacing: the curtain, guides and pelmet — most of a new shutter's price — are already on your wall and usually in good order. We confirm the curtain and axle are sound before quoting, because motorising a worn-out shutter helps nobody.
Same logic applies to crank-operated folding arm awnings and manual outdoor blinds: the fabric and frame stay, the drive changes, the winding stops.
The classic conversion — tubular motor in the existing axle, remote or wall switch, strap hole tidied up. One shutter or the whole house.
Wind-up folding arm awnings converted to motor drive — with a wind sensor added where exposure warrants it, so the awning protects itself.
Spring and crank-operated outdoor blinds converted to tubular motor operation — a big difference on large or high blinds that were heavy work by hand.
Hard-wired where power is accessible, rechargeable battery motors where it isn't — no electrician needed for battery conversions.
Which system, roughly how big it is, and your suburb — a photo of the winder or crank helps us quote accurately. If it's urgent, call 0477 059 687 directly.
