Quote: roller shutters
E.g.: Motorising manual shutters, surface-mounted or integrated renovation installation.
State whether you want to replace damage, motorise manual operation or equip an opening. For existing shutters, add available references and photos of box, guides and controls. Identify retained parts before comparing offers.
Radio does not mean no power supply
Somfy distinguishes radio control from motor power: a mains-powered radio motor still needs electricity. Solar combines a panel and battery. Identify energy source separately from control type.
Assess before motorising
Somfy says a kit must suit the shutter and fit its box. Assess curtain, shaft, supports and overall condition before choosing motorisation. Adding a motor does not automatically fix a poorly moving shutter.
Choose useful controls
Individual, group, schedule or app: describe intended use and existing equipment. Request protocol, confirmed compatibility, required accessories and functions without Internet. A recent motor does not guarantee compatibility with all home automation.
Plan faults and access
Ask what remains possible during power or equipment failure, especially at an opening used as an exit. Explicitly specify any emergency operation. Request documented box access, maintenance instructions and component-replacement terms.

On quotation
Compare the shutter and work actually required: curtain, box, mechanism, power, controls, fitting and finish. A motor kit is not a complete shutter. No local tariff, lifespan or resale gain is established here.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Does a radio shutter work without electricity?
Radio describes control. Check motor power and provision for failures.
Can my manual shutter be motorised?
Assess the assembly and kit compatibility; the box alone does not decide.
Does every shutter have an emergency crank?
No, do not assume so. Request the reference and operation of any backup.
When must the motor be replaced?
No universal life is given. Distinguish contractual warranty, maintenance and fault diagnosis.
