Do Your Rolling Blinds & Shades Keep Getting Stuck?

31 May 2023

There’s a Better Way. 

Do your roller shades or blinds get stuck at the top of your windows? What a hassle! Sometimes blinds roll down smoothly when you tug at the fabric, but when you try to raise them again, you find that the shade won’t budge. You keep pulling and pulling, and nothing moves.  

How do you fix it? You can take down the bracket and turn the pin to adjust the system’s tension. But if this is happening regularly, the frustration may become too much. So we have to ask—have you heard of motorized window shades? 

Motorized shades seamlessly rise and lower with one press of a button and can even be programmed to follow schedules. With a motorized shading system, you can control the whole house simultaneously. Here’s how motorized window shades work and can help your Jupiter, FL, home.

How Do Motorized Window Shades Work?

Motorized shades by brands like Lutron can be powered through data wiring or battery power. If you’re renovating your home, we recommend wiring your shades to connect to a centralized smart controller. That way, you can always count on the shades responding to your every command. 

Battery-operated shades are another option and will communicate wirelessly with the control system. Motorized shades can be automated alongside other home technologies, like smart lights, HVAC, and entertainment. 

How Will I Control Them? 

You can control your motorized shades via a smartphone app, handheld remote, or with a keypad on the wall. Your smart home integrator can help set up a control system that works for your preferences and needs. Whether grabbing a remote or tapping a button on the wall feels more intuitive, you always have options.
