Still raising and lowering your blinds by hand every morning and evening? In a flat in the Eixample with five windows, that means pulling the strap about ten times a day. If you also have heavy aluminium blinds or one that occasionally jams, the effort multiplies. Blind motorisation in Barcelona is the definitive solution: a compact motor that integrates into your existing blind housing and lets you raise and lower it with a push button, a remote control or even from your phone.
At Persianista BCN 24H we””ve spent years installing blind motors in flats, commercial premises and homes throughout Barcelona. We work with the leading brands and adapt every installation to the type of blind you already have — no building work or renovation required. And yes: we””re also available for enquiries and quotes outside office hours, because we know the decision to motorise often comes at the exact moment the strap breaks on a Sunday afternoon.
When is it worth motorising a blind?
There are situations where motorisation goes from being a nice-to-have to a genuine necessity. These are the most common cases we encounter in Barcelona:
Large or heavy blinds
Security aluminium blinds or wide-slat roller shutters installed in commercial premises are heavy. Raising them by hand every day wears out the strap, the winder and your back.
Elderly people or those with reduced mobility
Many of our clients in neighbourhoods like Gràcia or Horta call us because their parents can no longer operate the blind comfortably.
Straps that keep breaking
If you””ve already replaced the strap two or three times, a motor removes that component from the equation entirely. No straps, no winders, zero maintenance on that front.
Hard-to-reach windows
The window behind the sofa, the one in the mezzanine, or the one blocked by furniture. With a remote control, the problem disappears.
Security and smart home
A motor with a timer can simulate occupancy when you””re away on holiday. The blinds go up and down on their own at the times you choose.
If you identify with any of these scenarios, call now on 611 030 618 and we””ll advise you with no obligation on the best option for your specific situation.
Types of motors we install
There is no single motor that suits everything. The blind type, space in the housing, slat weight and your control preferences all determine which motor is most appropriate. These are the systems we work with every day:
Tubular motors
These sit inside the blind””s axle, take up minimal space and are the most common solution for domestic roller blinds. They work with a wall switch or radio remote control. This is the type we install most often in Barcelona flats, from studios in El Born to penthouses in Sarrià.
Radio remote-control motors
Allow you to control one or more blinds from a single remote, with no need to wire additional wall switches. Ideal if you don””t want to cut channels in the wall or if the blind is far from an accessible electrical point.
WiFi and smart-home compatible motors
If you already have a smart-home system (or plan to install one), we can fit motors that integrate with platforms like Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit. Control your blinds by voice, from an app or with automatic scheduled timers.
Motors for commercial metal shutters
Commercial premises on streets such as Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya or the shopping areas of Sants need higher-powered motors. We install central and side motors designed to handle the weight and intensive daily use of security shutters.
ℹ️ Can my existing blind be motorised?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. The motor adapts to the existing axle without any need to change the blind or the housing. Our technician verifies this on site during the first visit.
How we work: from quote to working blind
① Contact and initial consultation
You call or message us on WhatsApp. We ask a few basic questions: blind type, material, approximate dimensions and preferred control method (push button, remote, app). With that we can already give you a first price indication.
② Technical visit and fixed quote
A motorisation specialist visits your home, checks the housing, measures the axle, inspects the electrical installation and gives you a definitive quote with no surprises. If you accept, in many cases the installation is done on the same visit.
③ Clean, quick installation
We fit the motor, connect the power, programme the end stops (the up and down limits) and synchronise the remote or wall switch. A standard motor installation takes 1 to 2 hours per blind.
④ Testing and handover
We test operation in front of you, adjust intermediate positions if you wish, and show you how to use the remote and reprogram it when you change the batteries. We leave everything ready for you to enjoy from the first minute.
How much does blind motorisation cost in Barcelona?
The price of blind motorisation in Barcelona depends on several factors, and it wouldn””t be honest to give an exact figure without seeing your installation. What we can tell you is what elements affect the cost:
Motor type and power
A basic tubular motor with a push button costs less than one with an integrated radio receiver or WiFi and smart-home compatibility.
Blind weight and dimensions
A light PVC blind needs a smaller (and cheaper) motor than a commercial metal shutter.
Existing electrical installation
If there””s already a nearby light point at the housing, the connection is straightforward. If cable needs to be run from another point, work time increases slightly.
Number of blinds
Motorising several blinds at once reduces the unit cost, since travel and some materials are shared.
What we always maintain is transparency: fixed quote before we start, no hidden costs. Call now on 611 030 618 and we””ll give you an indicative estimate on the same call.
Urgent motorisation service 24 hours
⚡ Emergency service available right now
If your motorised blind has broken down and is stuck down blocking light, or stuck up leaving your home exposed, you don””t have to wait until tomorrow. Our technician travels to any point in Barcelona in under 45 minutes.
Although a new motor installation is usually arranged by appointment, faults on already-motorised blinds don””t respect office hours. A burnt-out capacitor, a motor that hums but doesn””t move the blind, a remote that stops responding… These situations require a specialist who can diagnose the problem and fix it on the spot. If repair is not viable, we carry out the motor or full system replacement on the same visit.
We””re operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If your electric blind has jammed tonight, don””t wait: call 611 030 618 and a blind technician will be at your door as quickly as possible.
Why trust Persianista BCN 24H to motorise your blinds?
We know Barcelona blind by blind
We know that rehabilitated flats in Poblenou often have compact housings requiring reduced-diameter motors, and that the grand old buildings of the Eixample typically have larger-calibre axles. Every neighbourhood has its quirks and we know them first-hand.
Genuine speed
In most domestic installations, from the time we arrive to the blind working by remote takes under two hours. No dust, no building work, no complications.
Warranty on motors and labour
All motors we install come with the manufacturer””s warranty, and we back the installation. If anything fails, we return at no additional cost.
Honest advice
If your blind first needs a repair before it can be motorised, we””ll tell you. We don””t sell a motor if bent slats or a deteriorated housing need fixing first.

Frequently asked questions about blind motorisation
Can any blind be motorised without replacing it?
In most cases, yes. PVC and aluminium roller blinds accept a tubular motor without significant modifications. Only with very old blinds that have deteriorated wooden housings or non-standard axles might some component need adapting before installation.
How long does motor installation take?
For a standard domestic blind, between 1 and 2 hours per window. This includes fitting the motor, making the electrical connection, programming the end stops and syncing the remote. When several blinds are motorised at the same time, the time per unit decreases.
Does the motor use much electricity?
Consumption is practically negligible. A domestic tubular motor only runs for a few seconds each time you raise or lower the blind. The impact on your electricity bill is imperceptible, even if you have several motorised blinds at home.
