Collection: Motorized Cellular Shades

Please view the Cellular Shades Install Guide

Motorized cellular shades are advanced window treatments that merge the insulating properties of cellular (honeycomb) shades with automated motorized operation. These shades feature a unique honeycomb-shaped fabric structure that traps air, providing superior thermal insulation.

Here's how it works:

Air-Pocket Insulation
The fabric is pleated into hexagonal cells that create multiple layers of trapped air.
Air acts as a natural insulator, reducing heat transfer between windows and interior spaces.

Seasonal Temperature Regulation
Winter: Prevents cold drafts by blocking heat loss through windows.
Summer: Reflects solar heat, keeping interiors cooler.
Studies show cellular shades can improve window insulation by up to 40% compared to traditional blinds or curtains.

Yes, you can convert your existing cellular shades to motorized shades, but the feasibility and method will depend on the specific design and construction of the shade.

Motorized Kits: There are motorized kits available that can be used to retrofit existing cellular shades. These kits typically include a motor, a power source (battery or corded), and the necessary hardware to mount the motor to the shade. Be sure to select a kit that is compatible with your shade type and size.

Professional Installation: If you are unsure about retrofitting your shades yourself, you can hire a professional to install them. They can evaluate your existing shades and recommend the best motorized solution.

Limitations: Not all cellular shades are suitable for power adjustment. Factors such as fabric weight, lift type, and overall shade construction can affect whether it supports power adjustment. Always consult the manufacturer or a professional to determine if your specific shade supports power adjustment.

Motorized cellular shades combine smart automation, energy efficiency, and sleek design, making them ideal for specific spaces.
