Every project starts with a conversation. Your design consultant walks you through fabric, style, and motorization options suited to your home and the way you actually use each room. From there, our team handles precise measurements and professional installation. Before we consider the project finished, your consultant walks you through the controls so you’re comfortable using the system from day one.
Ongoing support includes warranty coverage and a referral program because our goal is a lasting relationship, not a one-time transaction.
Motorized vs. Automated: What’s the Difference?
Motorized Drapery & Curtains and automated drapery use the same underlying motors and hardware. The difference is in how they’re controlled day to day. With a motorized setup, you open or close the drapes when you choose, using a handheld remote, a wall switch, a smartphone app, or a voice command through a compatible smart home system. Automated treatments go further: they’re programmed to respond to sunlight levels, temperature, or a set schedule without any prompt from you.
Power source options are battery, hardwiring, outlet plug-ins, or solar power. Your consultant can help you identify which makes the most sense given your windows, your home’s wiring, and how much maintenance you want to take on over time.
Practical Benefits for St. Michael Homeowners
The case for motorization becomes clear once you think through daily life. Lift cords are eliminated entirely, removing entanglement risks for children and pets. Windows that are high up, awkward to reach, or blocked by furniture become just as easy to operate as any other. If you’re traveling, remote scheduling lets you open and close drapery on a timer, which can support home security without requiring you to be there.
Energy efficiency is another practical reason to consider the upgrade. Programmed adjustments that respond to sunlight can help reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. In Minnesota, that’s especially relevant for heavier or lined drapery designed for insulation, which can be difficult to operate consistently by hand. And from a purely visual standpoint, cordless motorized drapery gives any window a cleaner, more finished look.
