Whether you're motorizing a single room or your entire home, Window Spaces will help you compare Hunter Douglas PowerView®, Somfy®, and other leading automation solutions to find the system that's right for your home—not simply the one tied to a single manufacturer * Most all types of window coverings can me motorized to lift and/or tilt.
Which Motorization System Is Right for Your Home?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for motorized window treatments. The best system depends on your windows, home, lifestyle, and how you want to control your shades.
Some homeowners prefer the convenience of rechargeable battery motors, while others choose hardwired systems for new construction or large homes. Some want simple remote control, while others prefer smartphone apps, voice control, or fully automated smart home integration.
At Window Spaces, we don't recommend just one brand. We compare leading motorization systems—including Hunter Douglas PowerView®, Somfy®, Bliss 2.0, Lutron® and more —to help you select the solution that best fits your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Battery, Plug-In or Hardwired?
Today's motorized window treatments offer several power options. The best choice depends on your home, window locations, and how often you use your shades. During your consultation, we'll help you select the solution that provides the best combination of convenience, performance, and long-term value.
Rechargeable Battery Motors
The most popular choice for existing homes. Rechargeable motors provide a clean, cordless appearance without opening walls or running new electrical wiring. Most homeowners simply recharge the battery a few times per year, depending on shade size and usage.
Plug-In Power
Ideal for windows located near an electrical outlet. Plug-in motors eliminate battery charging while avoiding the expense of hardwiring, making them a practical solution for many homes.
Hardwired Systems
Often recommended for new construction, major remodels, or large luxury homes. Hardwired motorization provides continuous power with no batteries to recharge and is an excellent choice for whole-home automation.
Solar Charging
Some motorized systems offer optional solar charging accessories that help extend battery power by using natural sunlight. This can further reduce the need for manual recharging in suitable locations.
