Motorized Blinds & Shades
Motorized blinds & shades are the fastest growing section of the window covering market– and for good reason. Imagine the ease of adjusting every window covering in your home with the touch of a button. Enjoy the beautiful morning sun as you lay in bed by simply asking Alexa to open your shades. Not to mention those second story great room windows that are impossible to access and operate without a ladder.
Automated shades do more than add convenience to your life. Setting up automated schedules can also cut costs by closing window coverings for added insulation and heat control. Most importantly, automated shades are naturally cord free and the perfect solution for child safety.
Considerations for Motorized Blinds & Shades
Window Covering Type
Choose which type of window covering fits your design and functionality needs. Everything from roller shades and honeycomb shades to blinds and shutters can be motorized.
Power Supply
Window coverings can be powered by low voltage hard wiring, 110 volt hard wiring, solar, battery and rechargeable motors. We highly recommend using hard wired options if you are planning on building a new home or commercial space. For existing homes, rechargeable and battery powered options are typically used.
Control Options
Hand held remotes, wall switches, smart devices, and home automation systems can all be used to control your window coverings. Which you choose may depend on whether the window coverings are to be installed in a new home or are a new addition to your home that has one or more smart devices already connected. Combine several of these option to maximize the convenience of motorization.
