Motorization adds effortless, everyday convenience to almost any window treatment. Instead of reaching for a cord or wand, tilt and raise your shades with a remote, an app, a schedule, or a simple voice command. It's a popular choice for hard-to-reach windows, skylights, and oversized openings — and it's also one of the safest options for homes with young children or pets, since there's no cord at all. Quality motors run whisper-quiet, and scheduling your shades to close during peak sun or open to let in warmth can meaningfully cut down on heating and cooling costs throughout the year.

Common Questions

Motorization, answered.

What kinds of window treatments can be motorized?

Most of our products can be motorized, including cellular shades, roller and solar shades, sheer shadings, woven wood shades, and drapery. We'll confirm compatibility for your specific selections during your consultation.

Do motorized shades need to be plugged in?

Most of our motorized options run on a rechargeable battery, so no outlet or in-wall wiring near the window is required. We'll walk through power options that fit your specific windows during your consultation.

Can I control multiple windows at once?

Yes — you can group any number of motorized treatments into a single "scene," so one tap or voice command can open or close every window in a room, or throughout your whole home.

Does motorization work with Alexa or Google Home?

Yes — motorized treatments can integrate with popular voice assistants and smart home systems, so you can control them alongside the rest of your connected home.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies by product and how often the treatment is used, but most rechargeable batteries last several months between charges under typical daily use.

Will motorized shades actually help with energy costs?

Yes — scheduling your shades to close during the hottest part of the day in summer, or to let in warmth on sunny winter days, can meaningfully reduce how hard your heating and cooling system has to work. Quality motors also run whisper-quiet, so you won't notice them operating throughout the day.

Battery & Power

Simple to keep charged

Most motors run on a rechargeable battery that recharges via USB or a removable battery wand — no electrician or in-wall wiring needed.
