Learn from the best with Somfy’s UK ‘Training Academy’

Somfy’s smart and motorised solutions offer next-level convenience, easy installation and quality. With over 50 years’ experience, Somfy produces and sells motors, controls, and sensors worldwide and is a specialist when it comes to motorising and controlling all types of garage doors. 

Somfy develops technology that can be adapted to your customer’s needs and budget; helping you to provide them with the best solutions to guarantee maximum comfort.

Why do customers choose electric garage doors?

There are several reasons why people choose an electric garage door over a manual one. The unpredictability of British weather, and the added convenience of controlling access from your car or your phone, to name only a few.

While some choose to replace the entire, others opt to add motorised garage door openers to their existing setup, be it a roll-up, sliding or tilt-up door. These added devices don’t change the way the garage door works but simply enhance it. This gives customers the added benefit of automatically closing the door at night or opening it when they arrive home, without the expense of a brand-new door.

The benefits do not stop there either. Some electric garage door openers allow you to hook up to voice assistant features. As well as this, they can also integrate with smart home systems to manage everything at once with just a touch.
