How Much Do Motorized Blinds Cost?
A common question we receive is, “How much do motorized blinds cost?” The answer depends on several factors:
- Type of treatment you choose – some options may be less costly than others until customization is added.
- Size and number of windows – larger and/or custom windows can increase costs.
- Brand and technology – integration with home automation and advanced features can add to the price of your window coverings.
- Installation complexity – the price can also depend on hardwired versus battery-powered options.
