Motorization

Your home, in motion.

Every shade, blind, and drape we make can move on its own: by app, by voice, by schedule, or by the sun.

A motorized home doesn’t ask anything of you. The light arrives when you wake, the glare is gone before it lands, and at dusk the house closes itself.

Why motorize

Four reasons people never go back.

Motorization isn’t a gadget. It’s the difference between a window you operate and a window that just does its job.

Comfort

Wake to light, not an alarm.

Set the bedroom to open with the sunrise and close at bedtime. You stop touching your shades entirely. They simply know the day.

Protection

Your floors don’t fade. Your art doesn’t either.

Shades that track the sun close on the hot side of the house before the glare lands, protecting hardwood, upholstery, and everything you spent years choosing.

Privacy

Sunset, and the house closes itself.

One scene draws every drape and lowers every shade at dusk: the whole house, at once, without a single cord.

Effortless

Reach what you can’t reach.

Two-story windows, skylights, the shade above the tub, the patio screen you’d need a pole for. Motorization is the only way those windows ever get used.

Control

However you want to run it.

Most homes end up using two or three of these. The shade doesn’t care which one you pick.

  • App

    Every shade, every room, every scene, from your phone, anywhere.

  • Remote

    One-, five-, and fifteen-channel remotes. One shade or the whole floor.

  • Wall switch

    A clean switch where the cord used to be. Nothing to learn.

  • Voice

    “Close the living room.” That’s the whole interaction.

  • Schedule & sun

    Set it once by clock or sun position, then never think about it again.

Smart home

Works with the home you already have.

Add your shades to the app you’re already using. No new ecosystem to learn, no separate remote to lose.

Power

Four ways to power it. No wrong answer.

Your designer picks the right one for each window while they’re standing in the room.

Rechargeable

No wires, no electrician.

A slim lithium motor slides inside the roller. Charge it about once a year with a USB cable.

Plug-in

Set it and forget it.

A discreet cord to a nearby outlet. Constant power, no charging, ever.

Solar

Never charge a battery again.

A low-profile solar strip on the glass keeps the motor topped up on daylight alone.

Hardwired

Whole-home, and completely invisible.

Low-voltage wiring runs to a central transformer, the cleanest look, planned in with the build.
