Motorized Shades | Motorized Blinds
Motorized shades or blinds are typically used for commercial use such as in large conference rooms. However, homeowners can also take advantage of this great feature. Motorized shades are not a specific type of shade. They are a particular function for a shade. Many shades can be motorized so that you can open and close them remotely at the push of a button.
Here are some tips for you to consider before you purchase motorized shades:
Number and Size of Windows
If you have a large window or a number of windows, then a motorized shades solution may be a good idea. Given the effort and costs to install a motorized shade, you may want to opt for the manual solution.
Frequency of Usage
This is one of the key factors in deciding if you need motorized shades or not. Do you need to often open and close the shades for a large window or number of windows during the day? If so, then a motorized shades solution may work for you.
New or Retrofit
Are you installing a new set of motorized shades or retrofitting your current shades to add a motorized solution? The best way is to start new and hire a vendor that sells the motorized shades. Retrofitting may be difficult and you may incur extra costs based on how easy it is to fit the motorized solution with your current window shades.
When you have decided to install motorized shades, you may want to think about how you want the window shades to function. You can operate them as a group or one by one. This is when you need to think about every possible situation on how you might use the motorized window shades. If one window shade in a room has to be constantly opened and closed while the others should remain closed, then you want to make sure the remote control can separate that one window shade from the rest of the windows. These are things
you need to think about when purchasing motorized window shades.
