Cellular Shades Control Options for Convenience and Ease
Control options for cellular shades have been upgraded with the latest technology in remote and motorized controls. Most cellular shades controls come with either cord or cordless cellular shades requiring you to manipulate the cellular shades by hand. Larger, heaver cellular shades and hard to reach cellular shades require specialized controls to make adjustments both simple and easy. Motorized and remote controlled cellular shades allow you to raise and lower the shades with a touch of a button.
Although almost all cellular shades can come with a remote controlled option, this option is most commonly used for:
- Skylight cellular shades or other hard to reach shades
- Oversized cellular shades that would otherwise be too heavy to manipulate by hand
- Cellular shades on large windows where the controls are too high
- Media rooms where all cellular shades controls for the room are centralized in one location
Motorized cellular shades also offer a degree of safety and security, not only with children and pets, but also as a deterrent. Since these cellular shades work with a remote system, the raising or lowering of the cellular shades can be automated with a timer when you are at work or away on vacation.
Some motorized cellular shades systems work on infrared technology while others use radio frequencies. In most cases the receiver is built into the cellular shades so they appear like any other cellular shade. The Hunter Douglas PowerRise system works with both infrared and radio frequencies to raise and lower the cellular shades. With this particular system, you can choose which cellular shades to raise or lower and even adjust cellular shades in multiple rooms at once.
Since there are no cords, motorized remote controlled cellular shades are safer in homes with children and pets but also provide convenient light manipulation in any room. This cellular shades option is perfect for homes with large scenic windows or multiple cellular shades, or rooms with centralized control centers. As mentioned earlier, remote controlled cellular shades are also perfect for skylights.
