BUYING MOTORIZED BLINDS OR SHADES

What To Look For Before Buying Motorized Shades And Blinds

Trusted Vendor:
Find a trusted vendor that has been fabricating blinds, shades and shutters for a good long period of time. I'm not saying all startup companies are bad or that they would not be a good choice. What I am saying is, that when making a purchase of this size a company with a long and good reputable history, is just a wise decision.

Power: Finding a power source for the operation of your window treatments may involve hiding wires behind existing furnishings, plugging into an existing outlet, or wiring into a local outlet. Power voltage requirements depend on the size of the window treatment.

Room Usage: Lighting and the need for privacy make sunlit rooms, bedrooms, and media rooms the best choices for the installation of motorized window treatments. Security also can warrant the need for motorization of your window treatments.

Control Options: Radio Frequency (RF) technology allows for a great deal of flexibility in the operation of electric shades and electric blinds. With the press of a single button, you can simultaneously operate all window treatments in a room or location of your choosing. Integration with lights and Audio-Visual components can be customized into a single remote or touch panel.

Value & Performance: There are simple ways to lower the costs of your motorized shade system without compromising performance. The key is configuration:

You may operate multiple shades with a single motor, sacrificing individual control of each shade.
You may avoid extra-large sizes and opt for multiple blinds or shades to cover large windows, utilizing a 2-on-1 control headrail.

Most Importantly Don't forget the:
Warranties: Most motors come with a 5-year warranty and electronic components come with a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer.
