Smart home automation and motorization are in high demand. Homeowners everywhere wave goodbye to dangling cords to upgrade to motorized window treatments. With the power of automation and motorization, you can easily control your blinds and shades from a remote or smartphone device. This provides enhanced convenience, safety, and security. Switching to smart blinds or shades can increase your home value and improve energy efficiency.

Are you tired of dangling cords ruining your aesthetic? Do you need an easier way to raise and lower multiple shades in your home? Switching to motorized window treatments is the most effective way to enhance the functionality of your space. Here’s what you can look forward to once you make the switch to motorized blinds or shades:
No more leaning over furniture or navigating through awkward spaces to reach tall windows. Motorized shades and blinds make opening and closing your window treatments simple and convenient.
Connect your motorized window treatments to a smart home device so you can control them even from outside your home. This is the best way to ensure your interior is as comfortable, private, and energy-efficient as possible.
Motorization provides the wow factor your home is missing. It's a great way to add a luxurious touch to your space and offer a more modern appearance.
You can raise and lower multiple shades throughout the day whenever you need to. You don’t want to roam the entire house opening and closing your blinds and shades. Motorization gives you the freedom to open and close them (as much as you’d like!) with ease.
Instead of manhandling your window treatments to open and close them regularly, motorization allows you to use your window treatments without the regular wear and tear.
Opening and closing window treatments shouldn’t be a challenge, it should be easy and convenient for everyone.
With motorization, you can control how much sunlight comes through your windows throughout the day. This can help you cut heating and cooling costs during the summer. It will also help improve the energy efficiency of your space.
Motorization is the most popular add-on feature in the interior design industry. Motorized window treatments and smart home automation are great investments to enhance your daily routine. With just a click of a button, you can easily control your blinds and shades from any room in your home.
There are several different motorization options available. The most popular options offered at Stoneside include:

At a dinner party across town, when you remember that you forgot to close the blinds? Simply use your smartphone to access your Smarthome hub and lower them instantly. Wishing you wouldn’t have to remember to open and close your blinds every day? Set them on a timer, so you start your day fresh and end your evenings in comfort.

When you choose Stoneside for motorized window treatments, you never need to sacrifice convenience for style. Most of our high-end, modern window treatments can be motorized so that you can achieve a cord-free look in any room in your home.

Yes! Automation systems definitely pay off by prolonging the life of your window treatments, boosting energy efficiency, and providing superb convenience.
Instead of manually operating your window treatments, the motorized system works for you. Blinds can be raised and lowered by several means, such as wall switches, remotes, smartphones, and home devices. If you select automated blinds, they won’t move up or down, but the louvers will tilt to control light and privacy. There are also battery-operated and plug-in options available.
These motors are warrantied for 5 years but can last up to 10 years or more. This varies depending on the type of power source. All of Stoneside’s motorized systems are built for maximum durability.
Motorization is an upgrade to standard shades, so the cost would be the price of your custom shade plus the motor cost. The motors themselves start at about $200 and can go up to $500 to $600 depending on type and size of motor required. Some very large motors can cost over $1000. Want a custom quote?

They can use rechargeable batteries, solar-powered batteries, or replaceable AA lithium or alkaline batteries, depending on the type of system.
In most cases the motor can be replaced when the product is a Stoneside blind or shade.
No, this functionality must be selected for proper assembly and installation when ordering your window treatment.
