Insolroll Hard-wired Motorized Shades

Hard-wired motors are the preferred solution for new-construction, and are often included in the early stages of a home or building’s design. Power is wired into the building system behind walls and out of sight.

Original Somfy AC or DC hard-wired directional motors provide durability and reliability

Somfy motor

The original tubular motor design is still the industry standard today due to reliability and cost advantages. These motors were designed with a brake system to prevent shades from slipping, internal limit switches for setting the upper limit of shades when raised and lower limit when shades are down, and thermal overload system to prevent the motor from failing if it gets too hot.

Hard-wired motors require wired switch legs, relays to isolate each motor and 3-position switches.

Recommended for group control applications in new construction projects.
