Astrup, a leading supplier of materials used in interior and exterior sun control systems, is now a source for the Somfy® Harmonic Design motor used to drive RollEase® interior roller shade operating systems.

Operated by remote control, the tubular Somfy motors quietly lift and lower shade installations up to 15 pounds and add value to decorative roller shades. The motor’s sleek remote control allows for settings of electronic limit stops, remembers three preset positions and a "most favored" position for the shade.

Designed by Somfy, Harmonic Design motors are whisper quiet, maintenance free and fully enclosed within the tube, requiring no additional fabrication time. Somfy is the world’s leading manufacturer of specialized motors and control systems for retractable awnings, rolling shutters, interior shades, blinds, projection screens and other lift-up applications for the home.
