Why motorize
Shades that move when you ask them to
A motor takes the reaching, pulling, and walking from window to window out of your day. It’s an option on the shades you design, not a separate product.
Tall windows
No ladder, no pole
Transoms and two-story windows open and close from the couch.
Kids and pets
No cords to reach
Motorized shades have no chains hanging at the window, a clean and safer choice for nurseries and kids’ rooms.
Big spaces
A whole room at once
One remote runs up to 15 shades, so a wall of windows or a whole porch moves together.
Hard-to-reach windows
The windows you never open, finally in reach
High transoms, two-story great rooms, windows behind a tub or a sofa. If you’d need a ladder or a stretch to reach it, a motor makes it as easy as every other window in the house.
- Transoms and clerestory windows
- Two-story great rooms and stairwells
- Windows behind furniture or over a tub

Good questions
Motorized shade FAQ
The questions we hear most on the phone and in the showroom. Don’t see yours? Call (330) 674-2590 and ask the person who’ll build your shade.
How much does it cost to motorize a shade?
The online designer shows the price as you add a motor and remotes, so you’ll see the exact cost for your windows before you order.
Can any shade be motorized?
Motorization is available on our roller shades (blackout, light filtering, solar, Vision, and exterior) 19 inches wide and up. Narrower shades use a chain instead.
How many shades can one remote control?
Up to 15. One remote comes with every motorized order, and you can add more so different rooms or family members each have their own.
How are the motors powered?
[PLACEHOLDER: motor power (battery, rechargeable, or hardwired) and charging details not confirmed.]
Do they work with Alexa, Google, or a smart-home hub?
Yes, with a Somfy smart home hub. It links your shades to Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.
