Motorization for Your Window Treatments
Motorized window treatments blend convenience and sophistication into high-tech designs that let you open, close, and adjust them with little effort. They’re the perfect marriage of form and function, and once you have motorization, you’ll wonder how you got by without it.
Four manufacturers we partner with offer this best-selling feature: Hunter Douglas, and Insolroll. Our talented consultants and installers at Upstate Window Fashions can help customize your blinds, shades, draperies, and shutters with motorization in different sizes and materials according to your specifications.
How Does Motorization Work?
Motorized shades, power blinds, and other automated systems have integrated motors that let them operate automatically instead of manually. Typically hidden in the framework, the quiet motors smoothly move the fabric and materials. You can customize the settings to control light levels, add privacy, or create different ambiances. The energy comes from hardwiring, plug-in power adaptors, and solar power, but battery-operated motorization is the most popular and practical choice. Most often, these motorization options have rechargeable battery wands. A single charge can last nearly a year.
The automation features work with a remote control, phone app, or voice command through a smart home system. That means you can open or close your shades before going to bed without even getting up. You can schedule them to lower and raise to keep your home cooler or warmer, according to the outdoor temperatures, and save money on energy bills.
And if that weren’t good enough, you can also program the window treatments to move when you aren’t home – imagine how useful that can be when you’re on vacation. It will always look like someone is home!
Added Benefits of Motorization
Automated window treatments are available in many colors, materials, and styles, so you needn’t worry about them complementing your decor. Depending on the brand, you can order this feature to enhance shades, blinds, shutters, and draperies. They have a minimalist, sleek design that complements any decor. The sophisticated design and operation enhance a room’s aesthetics, especially when programmed to let in just the right amount of light.
Motorization is a welcome solution for individuals with mobility challenges because the easy operation is practically effortless. They’re beautifully suited for oversized and hard-to-reach windows, too. They are user-friendly, offering accessibility to homeowners and promoting their independence. And since technology advances, we can integrate motorized window treatments into smart home ecosystems and coordinate them with your climate and light control.
