Motorized Blinds & Smart Shades FAQs
How much do motorized blinds cost?
The cost of motorized blinds and shades varies based on the window treatment, size, fabric, motorization system, control options and number of windows being automated. Because each project is customized, California Window Fashions can provide pricing after learning more about your windows, design preferences and automation needs.
Can existing blinds or shades be motorized?
Motorization is typically selected when ordering new compatible window treatments rather than added to existing manual blinds or shades. The PowerView® Rechargeable Battery Wand can retrofit the power source on certain compatible Hunter Douglas shades that are already motorized, but it does not convert a manual shade into a motorized one.
Do motorized blinds need to be wired?
Not necessarily. Motorized blinds and shades are available with battery-powered options that do not require wiring, while hardwired systems may be a good choice for new construction, remodeling projects or whole-home automation. We can help determine the best power option based on your windows and project.
How long do rechargeable motorized shades last between charges?
How often rechargeable motorized shades need to be charged depends on factors such as the size of the shade, how frequently it moves and how it is used. During your consultation, we can explain the available power options and what to expect for the window treatments you select.
Can multiple motorized shades move together?
Yes. With PowerView® Automation, compatible motorized window treatments can be coordinated so multiple shades operate together. You can also create scenes and schedules to adjust selected shades based on the room, time of day or your daily routine.
Can motorized shades be installed on large or hard-to-reach windows?
Yes. Motorization is especially useful for large, tall and hard-to-reach windows because shades can be adjusted without manually reaching the window. Our team can help select the appropriate window treatment and motorization option based on the size, location and configuration of your windows.
Do you install motorized shades and blinds in Roseville and Sacramento?
Yes. California Window Fashions provides design guidance, measuring, professional installation and automation setup for motorized shades, blinds and other compatible window treatments in Roseville, Sacramento and surrounding communities.
