MOTOR TECHNOLOGY

What Are Motorised Roller Shutters

A tubular motor is housed within the drive axle, concealed within the headbox assembly above your window. When activated, it turns the axle and the shutter rolls up or down. The motor is hermetically sealed, protected from weather and dust, and invisible from outside. Motorised and electric mean the same thing. At SM, every shutter we install is motorised. The choice is which motor and which control method.

Motorised vs Electric Roller Shutters Explained

SAME PRODUCT, DIFFERENT WORDS

People search for both terms thinking they’re different products. They’re not. Both describe a shutter with a tubular motor inside the axle. Where the real choice sits is the motor itself (SM or Elero) and how you control it (rotary switch or smart WiFi). Our electric roller shutters page covers the control methods in detail. This page focuses on motor technology.

“Thank you SM Roller Shutters! We had an incredible experience with our recent job. David, Sky and the team are very friendly, professional and considerate. The guys are very thorough, using the best quality products, and they cleaned up after themselves. We are in love with the result and the products overall, especially the app for the shutters and being able to schedule when they open or close.”

SMART HOME READY

Motorised Roller Shutters With Smart Home Control

Every shutter comes with a rotary wall switch as standard. The smart WiFi upgrade adds a touchscreen wall switch, handheld remote, and phone app (Smart Life, iOS and Android).

Compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Apple HomeKit is not natively supported. You can set daily schedules, group shutters by room, and control from anywhere. If WiFi goes down, the touchscreen and remote still work (RF-based).

Retrofit Motorised Roller Shutters to Manual Shutters

UPGRADE EXISTING SHUTTERS

If you have manual shutters with a strap or winder, we can typically slide a tubular motor into the existing axle without replacing the entire shutter. Whether it works depends on brand, age, and axle size. We assess during a free on-site assessment. If a retrofit is practical, the cost is considerably less than replacement. If it’s not, we’ll explain why and quote for new shutters with full warranty.

“Reasonable price and did a good job for converting my manual shutter to motor shutter. David and Sky were very responsive to my questions and provided me with clear explanation. Highly recommend these guys.”

MOTORISED ROLLER SHUTTERS FAQ

Common questions about motorised roller shutters.

Nothing. They’re the same thing. Both terms describe a roller shutter with a tubular motor inside the axle that drives the shutter up and down. Some people search for “motorised” and others for “electric.” At SM, every shutter we install uses a motor. The real choice is which motor (SM standard or Elero premium) and which control method (rotary switch or smart WiFi). See our electric shutters page for control options.

Yes, in most cases. If you have manual shutters with a strap or winder, we can typically slide a tubular motor into the existing axle without replacing the entire shutter. Whether it works depends on the shutter brand, age, and axle diameter (modern motors are 45mm). We assess during a free on-site assessment. If a retrofit is practical, the cost is considerably less than full replacement.

Both options are quiet enough that they won’t disturb someone sleeping in the same room. SM motors operate at 17 RPM. Elero motors are noticeably quieter at 14 RPM with a noiseless soft brake that eliminates the thud at the end of travel. For bedrooms and living areas where noise sensitivity matters, Elero is the popular choice. For laundry, garage, or less-used rooms, SM motors are perfectly fine.

Yes, with the smart WiFi upgrade. The Smart Life app (iOS and Android) lets you open, close, and schedule individual shutters or groups from anywhere. You can also use voice control through Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Apple HomeKit is not natively supported. If WiFi goes down, the touchscreen wall switch and handheld remote still work because they use RF, not WiFi.

SM motors carry a 5-year warranty. Elero motors carry a 5-year SM warranty plus the Elero manufacturer warranty on top. If a motor fails within warranty, we replace it on-site within 3 business days at no charge. The swap takes about 45 minutes. You work directly with the team that installed your shutters. See the SM difference for our full warranty process.

Shutters stay in whatever position they were in when the power went out. Closed stays closed, open stays open. The motor’s internal brake remains engaged, so a closed shutter can’t be pushed up from outside. Your home stays secure. When power returns, everything works normally. If uninterrupted operation is important, a UPS can be arranged through the electrician during installation.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all quotes, orders, supply, installation, repairs, and services provided by SM Roller Shutters to you (“you”, “customer”). If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and a written quote or invoice, the quote or invoice will apply to the extent of the inconsistency.

1. DEFINITIONS. “Goods” means roller shutters and any related parts, accessories, remotes, controls, and materials we supply. “Services” means measuring, quoting, custom preparation, installation, electrical work (where included), repairs, and any related labour. “Work” starts when we order materials, commence custom preparation, schedule installation resources, or otherwise begin preparation for your job.

2. QUOTES AND ACCEPTANCE. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date issued unless stated otherwise in writing. A quote is accepted when you confirm acceptance in writing (including SMS or email) or pay a deposit. Quotes are based on conditions reasonably observed at the time of quoting. If conditions differ, a variation may be required. If there is an obvious error in a quote, we may correct it before installation begins.

3. DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS. A deposit of 30% is required to place an order (unless stated otherwise on your invoice). Your deposit covers admin, scheduling, ordering materials, and preparation work. The remaining balance is due on completion of installation. If payment is overdue, we may pause work, reschedule, and recover reasonable costs. Payment is accepted by the methods stated on your invoice.

4. VARIATIONS AND ADDITIONAL WORK. Changes requested after accepting the quote will require a written variation for your approval and may affect price and timeline. Extra work outside the agreed scope will be discussed and approved before proceeding. If the work area is not clear on arrival, additional charges may apply — labour charged at $100/hour or $50/shutter depending on what is required.

5. SCHEDULING AND DELAYS. All timeframes are estimates only and may vary due to supplier delays, material availability, workload, weather, or site conditions. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for penalties or indirect losses caused by delays.

6. SITE ACCESS AND CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES. You agree to provide safe, clear access to work areas and power where required; remove obstacles, furniture, blinds, and fragile items; secure pets and children; ensure someone over 18 is on site; and obtain any approvals required (landlord, body corporate, permits). If access is not available or the site is unsafe, we may reschedule and a return visit fee may apply.

7. INSTALLATION AND COSMETIC LIMITS. Installation involves drilling and fixings and may cause minor marks to surfaces. Unless agreed in writing, we do not repaint or refinish surfaces. If we cause damage due to our negligence, we will take reasonable steps to rectify it.

8. ELECTRICAL WORK. Electrical work will be completed by a licensed electrician we organise. A Certificate of Electrical Safety will be provided for all electrical work completed.

9. OWNERSHIP AND RISK. All Goods remain our property until full payment is received and cleared. Risk passes to you once installed. If payment remains unpaid, you agree to provide reasonable access for us to recover unpaid Goods.

10. CANCELLATIONS. Before Work starts: we may retain or charge an amount reflecting reasonable costs incurred. After Work starts: you are responsible for all reasonable costs including materials ordered or custom-prepared and labour already performed. Refunds will be reduced by these costs except where required by law.

11. AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW. Our Goods and Services come with consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

12. WARRANTY — RESIDENTIAL USE. Aluminium roller shutters (including window roller shutters): 10 years on shutter profile slats.

We may schedule an inspection. If covered, we will repair or replace the defective component. If not covered, we will advise paid repair options.

15. REPAIRS AND CALL-OUT FEES. Standard call-out fee: $165 within 30 km. Additional travel charges apply beyond 30 km. A call-out fee applies when the workmanship warranty has expired or where the issue is not caused by us. For shutters not installed by us, the call-out fee is waived if you proceed with the paid repair recommended at that visit. After-hours/weekend/public holiday call-out fee starts at $495 within 30 km. Labour and parts for non-warranty repairs are charged separately. No paid work proceeds without your approval. If you decline repairs after attendance, the call-out fee remains payable.

16. URGENT REPAIRS. We will schedule repairs as soon as reasonably possible. Urgent or after-hours attendance may be available at higher rates as set out above.

17. WARRANTY TRANSFERABILITY. Warranties apply to the original purchaser and original installation site. Any transfer requires our written approval.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing excludes consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Where permitted by law, our liability is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
