Motorized Window Treatments

The Yardstick offers a number of motorized window treatments for customers wanting precise control over their window coverings. These can be controlled with remotes, wall switches, and even smart devices. Our motorized blinds and window covers offer an elegant and high tech solution that will truly enhance your overall enjoyment of your home.

What Are Motorized Window Treatments?

They are window shades and blinds that are powered by a motor and a switch button or a remote control. It is a modification of the manual system to make it easy for one to raise or lower and ease of access. They are purely powered by an electric motor or battery so no effort is required. These are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and styles. These can also be connected to smartphones and tablets, allowing for timed opening and closing of the window covering. Our motorized window treatments, paired with our generous selection of available materials, allows for complete customization and control over the natural lighting in your home. 

What Kind Of Homes Would Motorized Window Treatments Fit?

There are various types of windows and homes that are best operated by motorized window treatments. First, they are the best options for operating hard to reach windows. In some buildings, windows are elevated in such a way that you cannot reach the hanging cord to raise or lower the window. In such a case, you just need a remote or a switch button where you press and the motor is powered. This raises or lowers the window to the desired height. 

Secondly, it is very useful in homes where the owner is worried about the safety of pets and children. Children and pets are likely to play with the corded shades and blinds and in the process; the window treatment may fall on them resulting to injuries. This eliminates the aspect of cords and no way can the kids and pets access the remote control or the powering switch. 

Finally, it is very useful in home theatres and bedrooms. This is because in such a place, you will always want to raise or lower the shades at once or frequently. They are the best option because you just press the power button/remote and you raise the shades at once. It eliminates the monotony of frequently raising and lowering the shades and blinds, and increases the overall comfort and versatility of the space.

What Our Customers are Saying

  I can’t give a review to adequately describe the quality and service I received from Jack and Sandra at the Yardstick. Sandra showed me how the Hunter Douglas duette shades work at their well appointed studio and described the advantages of the choices well, then let me take my time going through samples to find just the right color and material. Our main goal was to keep heat out during hot days which the shades and drapes do very well.

Jack came to the house to check the measurements I’d taken so we ordered everything perfectly and gave me some further thoughts based on his impressions of the window spaces in person. This was all very helpful in making choices we’d love throughout the coming years. Amazing window treatments can be pricey but Jack helped me make the wisest choices so I ended up with top down bottom up shades on my higher windows and just bottom up on the bottom behind a large couch. They are really extraordinary and my husband and I are extremely pleased with them. Our drapes were a less complicated choice of color and pattern and we love them too. Thanks Jack and Sandra!

Installation happened about dix weeks later and was efficient and illuminating as the installers showed us how to operate the blinds. The Yardstick is a great place for top drawer window treatments.
