Motorized Shade Types

You can get motorized roller shades, made from a fabric piece rolled onto a tube; these are often controlled manually or with a motor. You can additionally opt for Roman shades, another popular choice made of fabric pieces attached to a horizontal bar also controlled with a cord or a motor. Honeycomb motorized shades are made of double fabric layers that have honeycomb shaped cells in between. They come in a wide range of colors, and can be both manually and remotely operated. Woven motorized shades are crafted out of interwoven strips of fabric and come in a wide array of colors and patterns, functioning as decoration as well. Woven motorized shades are easy to install and operate, and can be easily controlled with the simple press of a button. When choosing what type of motorized shade you want, consider your window size, what shae material you want, and whether you want total privacy from your shades or simply want to block a little sun.
