Motorized Roller Shades
Motorized and automated shades come in all types and styles, but function and operation are not all the same. If you are considering motorized blinds, roller shades should not be overlooked. They are some of the best motorized window treatments on the market. They look great and they will outlast many other types of motorized shades. Like other motorized shades they can be operated with the touch of a button from a handheld remote, in-wall switch or incorporated into a home automation system.
