Most types of window coverings can be motorized including horizontal blinds, cellular shades, roller shades, Roman shades, draperies, top-down shades, Silhouette®, Luminette ® and skylight shades. Depending on the type of window covering and the automation system used, the motor can be used to raise, lower, tilt, or draw the window covering.

Here are just a few benefits of motorizing your window coverings:

Convenience

You can easily adjust large, tall and hard-to-reach window coverings such as those on skylights, transom windows and windows over bathtubs. You can also uniformly raise and lower multiple shades at once.

Comfort

Motorized shades allow you to easily control glare on television or computer screens in media rooms and offices. You can save money on your energy bills with motorized window coverings as they can automatically adjust to accommodate the sun’s angle. You will be able to enjoy the sunlight and view or create a relaxing environment with total privacy – from any room in your home.

Control

Motorized window coverings simplify the protection of valuable furnishings from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays as you can schedule them to open and close throughout the day. These systems allow those with physical challenges to independently control the amount of light in their home and they eliminate dangling cords in rooms where child and pet safety are important.
