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.
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.

Questions and Answers
This makes them an ideal choice for oversized shades or hard-to-reach windows that require a little extra power. However, it’s important to note that electric motors do require a dedicated power source, so they won’t be operable in the event of a power outage. Our team is happy to help you determine which motorized shades are best for your needs and preferences. Contact us today to learn more.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the width of the shade can also be affected by other factors, such as the size and weight of the shade itself and the bottom rail. Our team is happy to provide guidance on the best options for your specific needs and preferences. Contact us today to learn more.
This type of motor requires an external battery that can be charged using a wall charger. If you prefer an internal battery motor, the minimum width needed for a Somfy 30mm internal battery motor is 28 inches, while for a Rollease motor, the minimum width needed for an internal battery motor is 25 inches. Our team can help you choose the right motor and size for your specific needs and preferences. Contact us today to learn more about our motorized shade options.
By considering these factors, homeowners can make an informed decision about whether motorized shades are the right choice for their needs and lifestyle.
At our company, we use only the finest motors from trusted manufacturers such as Somfy and Rollease, which come with a five-year warranty for added peace of mind. It is important to be cautious of companies that offer cheaper, off-brand motors or those imported from China, as they may not meet the same quality standards and could lead to issues in the long term.
However, if the shades are accessible by ladder or in smaller sizes, a rechargeable motor can be a convenient option. Our heavy-duty rechargeable motors are capable of lifting shades up to 147 inches wide and 110 inches tall, making them suitable for most openings. Our team can help determine the best motor for your specific needs and ensure that your motorized shades operate smoothly and efficiently.
Electric motors, on the other hand, are hardwired and require an electrician to run the wiring through the walls, unless you don’t mind visible cords. This makes them a more complex installation and may require additional painting work after the installation is complete. However, electric motors are better suited for very large shades that rechargeable motors may struggle to lift, or for very tall windows that may be out of reach for a rechargeable motor.
It’s important to carefully consider your specific needs and preferences when deciding between rechargeable and electric motors for your motorized shades. Our team of experts can help you make the right choice and ensure a seamless installation process.
You can easily find instructional videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to recharge your motorized shade’s built-in battery.
When it comes to noise level, both companies offer similar levels of noise. However, Somfy has an advantage with their ultra-quiet technology for both electric and rechargeable motors. On the other hand, Rollease’s U.S.-made remotes have a better aesthetic appearance, but they are more prone to damage if they are dropped.
Somfy remotes have better functionality for operating multiple shades in groups, but you need free channels to use this feature. For example, if you have a 16-channel Somfy remote and some channels are unused, you can group several shades together without affecting the other shades. This feature may not be available on Rollease remotes.
Rollease remotes have a unique feature that allows you to lock the access to settings, which is not available on Somfy remotes. With Somfy, accidental changes to the settings or limits may occur if someone sits on the remote.
Both motors come in a range of sizes that can operate shades of varying sizes. Rollease has a slight advantage over Somfy when it comes to larger sizes, particularly if the motor is rechargeable and the shades are very wide (up to 147 inches).
Additionally, Rollease offers a convenient feature on their 16-channel remote that allows you to stop all shades at the same height without pressing the stop button. This feature is not available on Somfy remotes and is extremely nice if all shades at the same length.
While both companies offer a favorite position feature, Rollease has the advantage of being able to level all shades at any point if they are the same length but is mainly best if all shades are same length. Somfy, on the other hand, does not offer this feature but I like that with somfy remote you press the stop for 1/2 a second and with Rollease you need to hold it for over 2 seconds so Somfy is better on this.
The Rollease 16-channel remote is more affordable than the Somfy 16-channel remote by more than $120, but the Somfy remote has a more professional appearance and can move shades in groups if not all channels are used.
Finally, while the Rollease remote battery needs to be replaced more frequently, it is easy to replace, whereas the Somfy remote battery is harder to replace but has a longer lifespan. Somfy Rechargeable 30mm motors also have a button that allows you to control the shades without using the remote control, which is not available on Rollease motors. Both companies use a special charger to charge their motors, but the Rollease charger comes with a longer cord than the Somfy charger, which may eliminate the need for an extension cord.
there’s also a product a client in parkland told us about and I saw it in action, the device name is BOND, it cost only $99 on Amazon, Half of Somfy and Rollease hub prices, this device works just the same, it allows you to connect radio frequency devices like fans and more, and I know it’s compatible with Somfy, I’m still not sure if it’s compatible with Rollease, pretty sure it is but best to check first, with an hub you can personalize shade groupings, set automatic timers to raise and lower your shades, and operate your shades through Alexa and set scenes. Likewise, you can connect the motorized shades to a few smart systems if they are compatible.
Additionally, the weight of the shade affects the amount of power used by the motor. Regarding the lifespan of a lithium wire-free motor, Somfy estimates that it can last up to a year or 500-1000 cycles, depending on the size of the shade being lifted in relation to the motor.
Depending on the specific hub you choose, the cost can vary, but typically you can expect to spend around $200 for a hub that is compatible with most motorized shades. It is important to verify compatibility between the hub and your existing motorized shades, as this can vary based on the specific brand and model. Additionally, the overall cost of the motorized shades will vary depending on various factors, such as the size of the shade and the materials used. It is recommended to consult with us to determine the most appropriate motor and hub combination for your needs and budget.
With a compatible hub and motorized shades, you can manage your home’s window coverings effortlessly, even when you’re away from home. It is important to ensure that your smart automation system is properly set up and configured to work with your motorized blinds in order to take full advantage of the features and benefits that they offer.
By integrating a smart hub with your motorized shades, you can add greater functionality and convenience to your window coverings. It’s important to ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with your specific motorized shades, Additionally, it’s recommended to consult with a professional to ensure that your smart automation system is properly configured.
The easiest way to program Somfy or Rollease remote is to watch a YouTube video or to call us or the manufacturer directly. For Somfy, dial 1(800) 227-6639, and for Rollease 1(800) 552-5100.

However, there is an exception with the Somfy Sonnesse 30mm motor (also known as ST30), which features a button on the motor head that can be used to control the shades manually if the remote is not working. Keep in mind that not all motors have this feature, so it’s important to check the specific motor model and its capabilities. If you are unsure about the type of motor you have or how to troubleshoot any issues, you can consult with the manufacturer or seek guidance from a professional.
