Motorization

More and more homeowners are choosing motorized or automated window treatments for their homes. The advent of home theaters and windows placed out of reach has increased the need for automated window coverings.

Motorized window coverings are essential for homeowners needing remote control operated shades for a wall of windows or media buffs creating a home theater complete with motorized blackout shades. Many of our clients are also using motorized window treatments in commercial settings. These window treatments provide discreet draperies for a boardroom or training environment. No matter your need Exciting Windows! by Verticals etc is the answer. Our staff is trained and factory certified to install the simplest or the most complicated systems. When planning on automated window treatments, please consider the following:

• If the window treatment is to be automated, plan ahead for wiring when possible to reduce the electrician's cost. Many new homes are coming pre-wired for window coverings, but the correct wiring is not always used. Contact us during construction to eliminate the need for re-wiring.
• Decide in advance how dark the room will need to be. Absolute darkness can be achieved, but may require side tracked black out shades or operable black out draperies.
• Theater shading is not inexpensive. Motorization typically adds $200 to $700 per opening. Remote controls and integrated control systems are available. We can help you create a realistic budget early in the design or construction phases.
• These types of projects often require a team effort. We will work closely with your media vendor, electrician, interior designer and/or architect to ensure that the completed project will be as perfect as you hope. We can work with any home automated systems including Creston, Lutron, Smart Home, Lightolier and LiteTouch. Our lines of automated window treatments come from designers such as Lutron, Somfy, BTX, Mecho Shade, Makita or Hunter Douglas.
