Why Customers Motorise

Motorisation is no longer a luxury of the future; it is the new standard for modern Australian living. Upgrading to motorised blinds and curtains transforms not just how your home looks, but how it functions.

✨

Ultimate Convenience

Control multiple heavy curtains or hard-to-reach blinds simultaneously from your couch or bed with a single remote or smartphone tap.

👶

100% Child Safe

By completely eliminating hazardous cords and chains, motorisation provides total peace of mind for families with young children and pets.

🌡️

Energy Efficiency

Set schedules to automatically close blinds during the hottest part of a Melbourne summer day, significantly reducing your cooling costs.

🔒

Enhanced Security

Automate your curtains to open and close at specific times while you're on holiday, simulating presence and deterring potential intruders.

Versatile Solutions

Motorisation Options

Whether you prefer the sleek minimalism of roller blinds or the flowing elegance of S-Fold sheers, our smart motors can be integrated into almost any window treatment.

  • Motorised Roller Blinds: Perfect for living areas and bedrooms. Motors sit discreetly inside the tube for a flawless, wire-free look.
  • S-Fold & Sheer Curtains: Specialised motorised tracks smoothly glide sheer fabrics across wide expanses and double-storey voids.
  • Blockout Curtains: Heavy drapery is effortlessly managed by high-torque motors, providing instant darkness and thermal insulation.
  • Dual Systems: Motorise both a sheer blind for daytime privacy and a blockout blind for nighttime darkness on a single bracket.
✓ Compatible with standard and high-ceiling void windows

Power & Connectivity

Wired vs Wireless Battery Motors

Choosing between hardwired and battery motorised blinds depends on whether electrical access is available. KOKO Blinds and Curtains uses 240v hardwired motors for new builds or major renovations, while wire-free rechargeable Li-Ion motors suit existing Melbourne homes without electrical work.

For New Builds & Renos

Hardwired Motors (240v)

Directly wired into your home's electrical grid. Ideal when building a new home or undertaking a major renovation where walls are accessible.

Pros & Cons

  • ✓ Maintenance Free: Never needs to be recharged or have batteries swapped.
  • ✓ Heavy Duty: Provides maximum torque for exceptionally wide, heavy, or long-drop curtains.
  • ✓ Full Automation: Integrates seamlessly with advanced systems like C-Bus or KNX.
  • ✗ Electrician Required: Must be installed by a licensed electrician, increasing setup costs.
  • ✗ Pre-wiring Needed: Difficult and messy to retrofit into an existing, finished home.
For Existing Homes

Wireless Li-Ion Motors

Features a built-in, concealed rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The most popular choice for upgrading existing Melbourne homes without electrical work.

Pros & Cons

  • ✓ No Electrician Needed: Zero wiring required. Fast, clean, and cost-effective installation.
  • ✓ Long Battery Life: Typically lasts 8 to 12 months on a single overnight charge (based on 1 up/down per day).
  • ✓ Easy Recharging: Plugs in just like a smartphone via a magnetic or USB-C cable at the motor head.
  • ✗ Routine Charging: Requires manual charging 1-2 times per year.
  • ✗ Size Limitations: May not be suitable for extremely heavy theatre drapery or massive multi-linked blinds.

Note: Both wired and wireless motors can connect to smart home hubs (Wi-Fi bridges) for app and voice control.

Future-Proof Your Home

Current Trends in Motorisation

Motorised blinds and curtains from KOKO Blinds and Curtains can be controlled by RF remote and, with a Wi-Fi hub, can support app scheduling and voice control. Compatible smart home systems listed on this page include Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Somfy Tahoma, Automate Pulse, C-Bus and KNX.

Voice Control

"Alexa, Open the Blinds"

By adding a simple Wi-Fi hub, your motorised blinds and curtains integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Control your environment without lifting a finger.

App Scheduling

Set It & Forget It

Smartphone apps allow you to create 'scenes' and schedules. Have your sheer curtains glide open at sunrise for a natural wake-up, and drop automatically at dusk for instant privacy.

Acoustics

Ultra-Quiet Motors

The latest generation of premium motors (like the Somfy Sonesse range) operate at barely a whisper. Perfect for nurseries, bedrooms, and quiet home office environments.

Common Questions

Motorisation FAQs

How often do I need to charge a wireless battery motor? +
Under normal residential usage (opening in the morning and closing at night), a high-quality Lithium-Ion motor will typically last 8 to 12 months on a single charge. Recharging is simple—just plug the provided cable into the motor head overnight, without needing to take the blind or curtain down.
Can I manually pull motorised curtains if there's a power outage? +
It depends on the motor. Many premium curtain motors feature a "Touch Motion" override that allows you to gently pull the fabric to initiate movement, and manual override capabilities if power is lost. However, motorised roller blinds generally cannot be rolled up manually without power. (Note: Wireless battery motors are unaffected by home power outages!).
Can I motorise existing blinds or curtains? +
In many cases, yes. We can often retrofit a wireless Li-Ion motor into the tube of your existing roller blinds, provided the tube diameter is compatible. For curtains, we generally need to replace the track with a specialised motorised track, though you can often retain your existing curtain fabric if it is in good condition.
Do I need internet for motorised blinds to work? +
No. The standard operation uses a Radio Frequency (RF) remote control which communicates directly with the motors without needing Wi-Fi. You only need an internet connection if you wish to use a Smart Hub for smartphone app control, scheduling, or voice commands.
