One button for a wall of glass, instead of three separate chains

Motorised blinds and automation for Century City apartments, where a compact living space with a lot of floor-to-ceiling glazing gets more use out of one-touch control than almost any house in this network.

Why motorisation suits an apartment more than a house

A quiet tubular motor sits inside the blind roll itself, controlled by a handset, a wall switch or a phone app. In a Century City apartment, that matters more than the novelty suggests: a single north-facing living room often runs three or four linked window and door sections as one continuous span of glass, which a hand chain either can't reach cleanly or takes three separate pulls to close. One button — or one scheduled event — closes the whole wall at once.

Battery or wired, depending on the unit

Rechargeable battery motors need no wiring and retrofit cleanly into an existing apartment, charging every few months via a USB-style charger — the default for most Century City units, where running new mains wiring behind a finished wall isn't practical. Wired motors suit a renovation or a new fit-out where an electrician is already on site, and are the better choice for heavier systems like concealed ceiling-recess blinds or exterior products.

Schedules and sensors that fit the way Century City actually behaves

A sun sensor drops the shading automatically on the hottest north-facing glazing before the room heats up rather than after; a simple schedule can open the bedroom blinds with sunrise and close the living-room glass in the hottest part of the afternoon. On any exterior product — an awning, a zip screen, an external venetian — a wind sensor is the safety-critical one: it retracts the product automatically before a Cape Doctor gust arrives, protecting hardware that's genuinely exposed to real coastal wind on this stretch of coast, not a theoretical risk.

No dangling chain across a floor-to-ceiling apartment window is, in itself, the most child-safe operation there is — motorisation earns its premium on safety before it earns it on convenience.

On-site measure, Century City
  • Rechargeable battery motors for clean apartment retrofits
  • Wired motors for renovations and heavier exterior systems
  • One remote or app for a whole wall of linked glazing
  • Wind sensors on exterior products, essential for Cape Doctor exposure
  • No dangling chains — the safest operation for a home with children
