The motors that lift, lower and tilt your window coverings are concealed inside of the headrails and won't interfere with the look of the room. Motorization is flexibile. You can choose to motorize all the window coverings at once or you can start with a few and upgrade at a later time.
Motorized window coverings run on batteries, low-voltage (DC) and high-voltage (AC). Very large windows with heavy fabrics might require AC power.
In-wall Wired Power - It's best to plan for motorized window coverings early in the construction process. Whether you are building a residential or a commercial structure, we recommend that an electrician does the wiring to each window while the interior walls are still open. Each window needs to have it's own dedicated wire. If you haven't decided on what window treatments you want during the construction, we recommend having your electrician wire for high-voltage (14-3 with ground) in case you pick window coverings that require more power. Pre-wiring your windows at this stage is best if you want all of your wires to be concealed. Please contact us when planning your new construction so that we may help you with the wiring requirements. Click here for wiring diagram.
Plug-in Power - Plug-in motors are available in either low-voltage (DC) or high-voltage (AC) versions, depending on the application needs, which give you simple maintenance-free operation. AC Plug-in Motors simply plug into standard wall electrical outlets. DC Plug-in Motors require a transformer, similar to a laptop or cell phone charger. The transformer simply plugs into an electrical outlet.
WireFree Power - No wires to conceal, no need for an electrician, the motor is powered by 8 AA lithium batteries located inside of a reloadable battery tube. Perfect for situations where access to wiring is not possible such as: skylights, French doors etc.
Depending on your situation, to operate window covering motors you will need to have at least one or the combination of the following controllers: handheld remote controls, wireless wall switches, hardwired wall switches, programmable timers, sun sensors that can be adjusted for varying degrees of sunlight intesity.
Home Automation - Our motorized window coverings may be integrated with total home automation system. The same remote, touch-screen or wall panel which controls lighting, security, HVAC and audio video equipment can also adjust motorized window coverings.
