Why it's cool

Whether you're tired of having to open and close a dozen drapes each day or have shades and blinds that are just hard to reach, automated window coverings will solve the problem. Like lighting control, you can completely change the atmosphere of a room with well-designed window treatments. Having the ability to set them all to just the right position is more than a convenience. It's a joy.

One of the most common applications for automated window coverings is in a Home Theater. With the same button on your remote that starts the movie, you can set the lighting and the draperies exactly right.

What it does for you

You can open, close, or adjust your window coverings at the touch of a button.

Your shade and drapery controls can be linked to your Home Theater controls so that unwanted light can be eliminated with a single remote control.

You can coordinate the operation of your window coverings with your security or Home Management System, so that shades are opened or closed automatically, creating a 'lived in' look when you're away.

With motorized shades, you can easily operate window treatments that are very large or located in difficult to reach places.

How it works

Window treatments are specially designed to include motors that perform the same functions you would have performed manually.

The motors that move the drapes or shades are concealed within the valance at the top of the window treatment.

Wall switches, infrared remote controls, or electrical relays are used to trigger operation.

The electrical or infrared control commands for the window coverings are integrated into your Home Theater remote controller or your Home Management System programming.
