What Are Motorised Outdoor Blinds?
Motorised outdoor blinds use a built-in electric motor to raise and lower the blind system smoothly and consistently. Instead of manually winding a crank handle, you simply control the blinds with:
➤ A remote control
➤ A wall switch
➤ Optional smart automation features
Electric outdoor blinds are ideal for larger openings, heavier blinds, or areas where ease of use is a priority. They are also a great option for alfresco areas with multiple blinds, allowing you to operate everything quickly and efficiently.
With a clean, modern finish and smooth, quiet performance, motorised systems are designed to handle Perth’s demanding conditions, including strong sun, coastal air, and shifting weather.
Which Outdoor Shades WA Products Can Be Motorised?
Ziptrak blinds are one of the most requested motorised outdoor blind systems in Perth. The track-guided design keeps the blind secure within side channels, making it ideal for large alfresco areas and exposed locations.

AC vs DC Motors – What’s the Difference?
Choosing the right motor is an important part of designing your electric outdoor blinds system. The type of motor used can influence lifting capacity, power requirements, installation method, and long-term performance. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand the difference:
AC and DC motors each offer different advantages depending on your project requirements, installation setup, and usage expectations. Here’s a simple comparison:
AC Motors
- Typically hardwired into your electrical system
- Suitable for larger, wider, or heavier blinds
- Strong lifting capacity for high-use applications
- Ideal for permanent residential or commercial installations
DC Motors
- More energy-efficient operation
- Can run on low-voltage or battery systems
- Suitable where hardwiring is difficult or not preferred
- Often quieter and smoother in operation
Our team can advise which motor type best suits your home, alfresco area, or commercial property based on layout, power access, and long-term usage.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to AC vs DC motors. The right option depends on your blind size, power access, and how frequently the system will be used. Our Perth team will assess your setup and recommend the most suitable motor to ensure smooth, reliable operation for years to come.
How Much Do Motorised Outdoor Blinds Cost in Perth?
Motorised outdoor blinds typically start from around AUD 2,000 per blind installed for smaller openings and can range up to AUD 8,000–9,000+ for large, premium track-guided systems.
In most cases, adding motorisation to a standard outdoor blind increases the cost by approximately AUD 500 to 1,500+ per blind, depending on the motor type and electrical setup required.
The final price depends on:
- Blind size and width
- Fabric and hardware selection
- Motor type (AC hardwired or DC/battery)
- Electrical access and installation requirements
- Number of blinds being installed
While motorised outdoor blinds require a higher upfront investment compared to manual systems, many Perth homeowners choose them for the added convenience, ease of use, and long-term comfort.
