by Rosesun Window Coverings | May 8, 2024

Retractable screens are adjustable and can transform your backyard in an instant. These screens are long-lasting. Their motorized features mean less fumbling with manually moving or retracting screens. Rather than leaving all your doors open and inviting in the insects from outside, set up your retractable screen and enjoy bug-free fresh air with the touch of a button. Your blinds are 100% customizable to meet and exceed your needs 24/7!

Roller Shades

When it comes to motorized window coverings, roller shades are the most popular. There’s a wide range of configuration options to choose from, the customization choices are practically endless. Low voltage motors can be utilized, as can batteries, solar energy kits, plug-in transformers, hard wiring and rechargeable batteries. This also offers a range of price differences to fit various budgets.



Cellular Shades

While you can motorize a set of cellular shades, there won’t be as many motor options as you’d find with other shade options. Like with several other motorized products, motorized window coverings are compatible with various types of control options, including WiFi and smartphone connectivity, indoor sun sensors and timed sensors.



Woven Woods

The sizing of the woven wood shades is the only factor that hinders its motorization ability. The fabric on these shades can be heavier when more is added to fit larger shade structures. Therefore, wider crafted woven wood shades that are covered in fabric may not be able to utilize the motorization function.



Transitional Shades

A motorized mechanism can be implemented into transitional shades without a problem. In fact, the motorization mechanism can be powered with a battery pack, rechargeable battery, solar battery pack or a plug-in transformer.



Sheer Horizontals

These window covering would employ the same motorization range as transitional shades. If you’re looking to impress your guests, then this will give you that wow factor you’re looking for. Having motorized sheer blinds are an aesthetic you can’t beat.



Window Covering that can’t be Motorized

Unfortunately, not all shades or blinds can have motors installed onto them. Shutters, for example, don’t function as the other blinds do. The motor, if one could be added, would need to go into the frame. However, this would compromise the structure of the entire window covering, make installation difficult and threaten the life span of your shutters.
