Motorized & Smart Blinds
Every style we make, with the cords taken out and the effort with them.
★★★★★5.0 · 51 Google reviewsMotorization is not a separate product so much as an upgrade you can add to anything we make — zebra, roller, honeycomb, Roman, blackout or vertical. Quiet motors sit inside the headrail, so there are no cords, no chains and nothing hanging down the side of the window.
Control them with a handheld remote, a wall switch, your phone or your voice, and set schedules so the blinds close against the afternoon sun and open again at sunrise. Most of our motors are rechargeable, so no electrician and no wiring is needed in an existing home.

Questions about motorized & smart blinds
Do I need an electrician?
Usually not. Most of our motors are rechargeable — you charge them with a cable a couple of times a year, exactly like a phone, and nothing is wired into the wall. If you would rather have them hardwired for a new build or a renovation, we plan that with your electrician before the drywall goes up.
How long does the battery last?
Typically six months to a year between charges, depending on how often the blind moves and how large it is. A recharge takes a few hours from a standard USB charger, and the remote warns you before the battery runs low.
Can I motorize just one window?
Yes, and it is often the smart way to start. Most people motorize the two or three windows that are genuinely awkward — over a stairwell, behind a sofa, a tall bathroom window — and leave the easy ones manual. We quote it both ways so you can see exactly what the upgrade costs.
Does it work with Alexa or Google?
Yes. With the hub added you can control the blinds by voice, from your phone anywhere, and on a schedule — open at sunrise, close when the afternoon sun hits the west side of the house.
Measurement & installation
We measure every window ourselves and our own installers do the mounting — the fit is guaranteed. Typical turnaround is fast because everything is produced locally in Kitchener, Ontario.
Motorization
Add quiet motors with remote control on any of our shades — ideal for hard-to-reach windows and a cleaner, cord-free look.
Warranty & care
As the manufacturer, we stand directly behind our product — no overseas claims process. Care is simple: light vacuuming or a gentle wipe keeps fabrics fresh for years.
In real homes
Real photographs from homes across Ontario — every one measured, made in our Kitchener workshop and installed by our own team.
Every style we make, with the cords taken out and the effort with them.
Also called smart blinds, remote-control blinds or automated shades.
Windows you cannot reach
Above a stairwell, behind a sofa, or two storeys up a vaulted wall — the ones that otherwise never get used.
Safest around children
No cords and no chains at all, which is the safest way to fit a blind in a nursery or playroom.
Whole rooms at once
One button closes every blind in the room, or the whole floor, without walking around the house.
Schedules that save energy
Close against the afternoon sun before the room heats up, and open again at sunrise — automatically.
