MOTORIZED BLINDS & SHADES

MOTORIZED SHADES & BLINDS

We offer a variety of cutting-edge motor options to provide convenience and style to your window coverings. Our selection includes rechargeable wire-free motors with internal lithium batteries, as well as hard-wired electric motors for those looking for maximum strength and durability.

Our electric motors are ideal for oversized shades or hard-to-reach windows, as they offer robust lifting power. However, it’s important to note that they require dedicated power, so in the event of a power outage, you won’t be able to operate your shades. On the other hand, our rechargeable motors are a more affordable alternative that don’t require a power source and are a great option for small (17” minimum width) to large shades (176” maximum width). Our heavy-duty rechargeable motors can lift shades up to 147″ wide by 120″ tall.

Our rechargeable motors offer long-lasting performance, typically providing between six months to a year of use on a single full charge before needing to be recharged.

This means you can enjoy the convenience of motorized shades without having to worry about constantly recharging your motors. With our rechargeable motors, you can sit back and relax while your shades work for you.

We’re proud to work with industry-leading motor manufacturers such as Somfy and Rollease, both of which offer advanced technology and come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. By partnering with us, you can enjoy the convenience of controlling your shades through remote control, smartphone, tablet, or Alexa, and take advantage of the latest in motorized shade technology.

Motorized Shades: Convenience, Safety, and Security in Your Home

Are you tired of manually adjusting your shades every day? Motorized shades make it incredibly convenient to open and close your shades with just the push of a button or a voice command. This feature is especially beneficial in frequently used rooms such as bedrooms, where you want to quickly adjust the level of natural light without disrupting your activities.

In addition to their convenience, motorized shades also provide a safer option for families with young children and pets. With no chains or cords to worry about, the risk of choking hazards is eliminated. This peace of mind is invaluable for parents and pet owners who want to keep their loved ones safe.

Another great advantage of motorized shades is the ability to integrate them with a smart hub, which allows you to program them to open and close automatically while you’re away from home. This feature provides an added layer of security by simulating your presence and deterring potential intruders.

Upgrading to motorized shades is an investment in both the comfort and safety of your home, and our team is here to help you make the most of this innovative technology. Contact us today to learn more about the many benefits of motorized shades and how we can help you elevate your living space.
