Motorized blinds (or motorized shades) are window coverings that use a small, quiet, built-in electric motor to raise or lower them.
Instead of a cord, you operate them using a wall switch, a handheld remote, or through a smart device app.
These systems are typically powered in one of two ways:
- Battery Power: The most common option for homeowners. These shades use long-lasting, rechargeable or disposable battery packs, making installation incredibly easy since no electrical wiring is required.
- Hardwired: Ideal for new construction or remodels, these systems are wired directly into your home's electrical system, eliminating the need for battery changes.
Their benefits have something in common: effortless, precise control over light, glare, and privacy in the room.
