What to get right 02

The motor is the easy part. The system is the decision.

Motorization goes wrong in four places, and none of them is the motor itself. This is what your consultant is working out while they measure.

  1. 01

    Battery or hardwired

    Rechargeable battery tubes run for months on a charge and need no electrician, which is what makes retrofitting a finished home practical. Hardwired power is the better answer in new construction and on large shades that cycle every day.

  2. 02

    One system, not five remotes

    Shades, drapery track and outdoor screens should answer to the same hub and the same app. Mixing control systems across a house is how people end up with a drawer of remotes and no schedule at all.

  3. 03

    Scheduled to the sun, not the clock

    Sunrise and sunset move by more than an hour across the year. A schedule tied to those times keeps doing the right thing in January without anyone editing it.

  4. 04

    Weight decides the motor

    Width, drop, fabric weight and tube size set which motor is specified. Undersize it and the shade is slow, noisy and short-lived, which is the failure you actually see in a cheap motorized install.

Set it once. The house does the rest.

01

Sunrise, open

They lift on the sunrise time for your latitude, not on a fixed clock time, so the house opens itself a little later in December than it does in June. You wake to daylight instead of to a dark room and a wand.

The fine points

Motorization questions.

01Do motorized shades need wiring?
Not necessarily. Rechargeable battery tubes run for months on a charge and need no electrician, which is what makes retrofitting an existing home practical. Hardwired power is the better answer in new construction, on very large shades, or anywhere that cycles several times a day.
02How do I charge a battery tube?
A charging lead plugs into the end of the tube, or the battery pack lifts out, depending on the system specified. On a tall or awkward opening we plan for that at the measure, because a battery you cannot reach is a battery that does not get charged.
03Can I run them from my phone?
Yes. Motorized treatments pair to a hub and run from an app, a wall switch or a handheld remote, and can be scheduled by time or by sunrise and sunset. They integrate with the common smart-home systems, and your installer sets it up and shows you before leaving.
04What happens if the internet goes down?
The remote and the wall switch talk to the shade directly, so they keep working. What you lose until the connection is back is app control from outside the house and anything that depends on the hub, which is one more reason we still fit a physical control in the room.
05Are they loud?
A correctly specified motor is quiet enough that you notice the movement before the sound. Noise on a motorized shade is almost always a motor working too hard for the size and weight it was given, which is a specification problem rather than a brand problem.
06Can you motorize shades I already have?
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the existing hardware. A consultant needs to see the headrail and the tube before answering. Where a retrofit is not sensible we will tell you that at the measure instead of selling you a motor that will not fit properly.
07Is it worth motorizing the whole house?
It earns its keep on anything tall, wide, behind furniture, or on a bank of windows you would otherwise operate one at a time. Small reachable openings are usually fine manual, and mixing the two in one house is normal. Ask the consultant to price it both ways.
