A holistic approach to façade design

In today’s world we face the challenge of tackling climate change in everything we do. Building the cities of tomorrow, it’s imperative that we design responsibly, aiming to meet both present and future needs without compromising access to natural resources in the future. The façade of a building has always played an important role in high performance building design. The façade often not only expresses a bold statement reflective of the philosophies of those inside the building, but also contributes to the aesthetics of the building and its surroundings.

Product

Motor selection is easier than you think,
here’s how to do it!

With a wide range of motors available, selecting the right motor for a project based on carrier product and project segment becomes very important. We can assist you to make this choice simpler and make you more comfortable with the right choice of Somfy’s Tubular motors for your different projects.

The main criteria for selecting the right motor for blinds is based on carrier products, operation noise level (from silent motors to regular motors), and ceiling height (double height or single height).
