Somfy motorisation & electrics

Somfy motorisation is included. Choose wired wall-switch control or Somfy io wireless control. These blinds require a suitable 230 V electrical supply; final fixed electrical connection should be completed by a suitably qualified person.

Delivery

Standard UK carriage & handling is £120 inc VAT per standard order / consignment. Where the blind exceeds the standard carriage threshold, the blind price remains visible and specialist carriage is reviewed before checkout.

Paragon checks the submitted dimensions, system, headbox, colours and controls before the blind is released to manufacture. We may contact you if anything requires clarification.
