SMART FRAME

Smart Frame is the Motionblinds powered click-in frame built for tilt & turn windows and doors. Winner of the R+T Innovation Award 2024 and the BBSA Excellence Award for Best New Product 2026 — two independent juries recognizing a system that works, looks right, and fills a gap the market had left unsolved for years. Available motorized or manual. Patent protected.

Installation requires no drilling. The magnetic frame attaches directly to the window profile with magnetic tape, keeping the handle fully accessible and allowing the window to tilt and open completely. Smart Frame moves smoothly and precisely, with control via app, remote, or smart home platforms including Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant.

Smart Frame runs on the CM-52,​ a Motionblinds battery motor redesigned specifically for this application. Unlike any other system, the motor travels with the rail rather than sitting fixed in the cassette, making true top-down bottom-up movement possible inside a tilt & turn frame. The CM-64 solar panel charges the battery continuously. Control via Bluetooth, app, or remote — or add the CM-55 Motionblinds Bridge for full integration with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant.

Smart Frame is available with a single motor — one rail motorized, one manual — or dual motor for full top-down bottom-up control with both rails motorized. A push-button function allows manual operation at any time. Every visible component is precisely color-matched across five finishes, so frame, rails, and fixings work together as one coordinated result. The system is designed to disappear into the window rather than sit on top of it, for a clean finish in any interior.

Smart Frame has its own dedicated fabric collection curated specifically for this system and no other. Compatible with pleated and honeycomb fabrics in 20mm and 25mm fold widths, the collection covers light-filtering options that soften daylight without sacrificing the view, high-insulation honeycomb for energy efficiency, and near-blackout fabrics for bedrooms and hospitality. The Smart Frame collection book gives you a complete overview of every compatible option for easy specification.

For years, tilt and turn windows remained the unsolved challenge in motorized window coverings. Now, Smart Frame by Coulisse delivers what the market has been waiting for: a motorized frame system that moves with the blind, works without wiring, and integrates seamlessly into modern smart homes. From first sketch to market launch, this is the story of how engineering meets real-world complexity.

The Smart Frame has been recognized with an industry award, highlighting its impact on the future of motorized window coverings. By combining a refined design with effortless installation and integrated Motionblinds technology, Smart Frame offers a forward-thinking solution tailored to the needs of today’s
