Motorised Roller Blinds
Motorised Roller Blinds • Melbourne Residence
Experience the Convenience of Motorisation
Acmeda and Somfy motors add affordable luxury to all our roller blind ranges. Motorisation allows you to raise and lower numerous shades in unison, providing a sleek and easy-to-use upscale addition to your home. There are two ways to motorise blinds — hardwired, which connects to your home's electrical system, and battery-operated, which is wireless and easier to install.
Battery motors typically need recharging every 4–6 months, depending on how often they are raised. Preset the timing of the opening and closing of your blinds for optimum privacy and security. With motorised roller blinds, chains are no longer required, allowing for minimal, clean window openings with absolute peace of mind.
No chains also make them safer and more visually appealing, especially on wide windows or sliding doors where multiple blinds are used and chains would otherwise hang in the middle. A stylish, functional upgrade perfect for Melbourne homes.
Control Your Blinds with Your Smartphone
At Tiptop Blinds we offer our Melbourne clients three convenient ways to motorise roller blinds. First, for all new builds and renovations, the recommendation is to involve us early — before the plaster goes up. We provide molex cables for the electrician to install during the rough-in phase, leaving a small wire exposed after plastering. Our roller blind installers connect the blinds directly to the molex cable.
Our service includes sending a consultant to discuss the molex cable placement with the builder, site supervisor or electrician to ensure that everything is installed in the perfect location, saving you the cost of an electrician post handover.
Second, if your new motorised roller blinds are installed in an existing home, our trusted electrician will wire your blinds neatly and efficiently, ensuring a professional and clean installation. Lastly, battery-operated motors offer a flexible, wire-free option, ideal where wiring isn't practical or if you want to avoid the cost of an electrician.
Motorised Blinds • Smart Home Integration
Add Automated Blinds to Your Home
Motorised roller blinds continue to be an increasingly popular choice for Melbourne homeowners, offering everyday luxury, convenience and smart functionality at an affordable price of approximately $250 per roller blind. An average of 70% of the blockout and sunscreen roller blinds manufactured in our Clayton factory are motorised, delivering a sleek, cordless finish. We can also retrofit motors into existing roller blinds, making it easy to add luxury without replacing your current window furnishings.
In 2025, we're seeing a clear trend: Melbourne homeowners are motorising blockout roller blinds behind manual sheer curtains in bedrooms. This setup allows the sheer curtain to stay in place for soft, diffused light and daytime privacy, while the blockout roller blind opens and closes effortlessly at the touch of a button each morning and night.
We also recommend motorising roller blinds in hard-to-reach windows and in large, open-plan living areas featuring wall-to-wall windows. This enables the roller blinds to be lowered at the click of a button when it is dark outside and privacy is required, or in the morning when natural light is desired.

From Approximately $250 Per Blind
Roller blind motors are priced at approximately $250 per blind, with the maximum width being 3 metres. In some cases, two blinds can be linked to a single motor. Depending on the layout of your home, we recommend one remote per bedroom, and a 5 or 15-channel remote for shared living spaces, allowing you to control multiple blinds individually or all at once with a single click.
We use Acmeda and Somfy motors which are fully compatible with Google Home, Alexa, smartphones, smartwatches and most home automation systems. This allows you to schedule your blinds to open and close automatically, protecting your timber floors, carpets and furniture from Melbourne's harsh sun, improving your home's security and enhancing energy efficiency by regulating the home's temperature throughout the year, saving you money on energy bills.
