Why Motorized Shades?
Quiet, Reliable Somfy Motors
Industry-leading Somfy motors rated for years of daily use. Ultra-quiet operation — you'll barely notice when the shades move.
Smart Home Ready
Works with Alexa, Google Home, Control4, Lutron, Crestron, and most major smart home platforms. Schedule, automate, and voice-control your shades.
Hardwire or Plug-In
Line voltage (120V/60Hz) standard. Low voltage (24VDC) and battery-powered options also available for any installation situation.
Multiple Control Options
RF remote control, wall-mounted transmitter, 4-wire Decora switch, smartphone app, or voice activation — choose what works best for your lifestyle.
Essential for Specialty Shapes
Motorization is standard on all specialty shape shades (triangle, trapezoid, hexagon, pentagon) because manual operation is not practical on angled rails.
UL Listed & Warranted
All motors are UL listed for safety. Motor warranty is 5 years; fabric warranty is 3 years. Professional installation support available nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What motor brands do you use?+
We use Somfy tubular motors — the industry standard for motorized window treatments. Somfy is known for ultra-quiet operation, reliability, and broad smart home compatibility.
Do I need an electrician to install motorized shades?+
For hardwired (line voltage) installations, yes — an electrician should connect the power. For plug-in or battery-powered motors, no electrician is needed and installation is DIY-friendly.
Can existing shades be converted to motorized?+
In most cases, no — motorized shades require a different tube, motor, and bracket system from the start. We build motorized shades from scratch to your exact dimensions.
What smart home systems are compatible?+
Somfy motors work with most major smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit (with hub), Control4, Lutron, Crestron, and Savant. Ask us about specific integrations.
