Motorized Shades | Motorized BlindsMotorized 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.
