Motorized Shading Overview
Want a smarter home with smarter window treatments? We can help you make it a reality!
Why Motorized Shades?
Motorized operation is the safest for children and pets, without cords that could present a safety/strangulation hazard. Oversized and out-of-reach windows and shades are easy to operate, and homes or businesses with a large number of windows will benefit from motorization with schedules, scenes, and even more control options. App-based control makes your home more energy-efficient, and allows control with your mobile phone or a voice assistant like Alexa.
Innovative Openings has specialized in motorized shading products for decades. We are proud to feature control and automation systems from Somfy and Hunter Douglas, as well as an exceptional purchase and support experience.
