Easy Lift Roller Shades

Our Softlift roller shades and softlift solar shades couldn’t be easier to use. A gentle nudge upwards with one finger or a light tug down on the bottom bar is all it takes to position your roller shade exactly where you want it. No more tugging your shade all the way down before it will retract back up again. Softlift shades are quieter, easier to use, quicker to adjust, and safer around kids and pets then traditional corded shades.

Window blinds and shades with a motorized wand attached

Shades that raise and lower with the push of a button can be the perfect option for a variety of situations. Our "Quick Press Wand" option is popular on windows in kids' rooms and on any window where the top of a window is out of reach, which can make it difficult to manually open and close a shade. The system includes a wand that is attached to the left or right side of the headrail of a shade where it hangs in place of a traditional cord control. The "Quick Press" wand has two simple buttons, one to raise your shade and one to lower it. This motorized wand option is helpful for those with limited mobility as well as for anyone with windows that so tall that the top is out of reach for manual retrieval of the shade when it is fully open. Of course, the wand is only helpful with tall windows if the top is just slightly out of reach, because the wand is attached to the top bar of the shade. For windows that are very high up we always suggest remote control shades or voice activated motorized blinds and shades. Our motorized attached “Quick Press” wand is available on roller shades, Cascade sheer shades and coming soon to select styles of Serenity® sheer shades.

How Are Motorized Blinds Powered?

Motorized blinds and shades can either have a rechargeable battery pack or you can have an electrician hardwire your shades to a switch. Our rechargeable motorized option works with a remote, with a wall mount for storage and easy location of your remote. Choose a 1 channel remote if you have just one motorized shade or blind or choose the 15 channel remote for the option to control up to 15 shades from one remote control, including syncing multiple windows, to raise and lower in unison. Our rechargeable motorized blinds and shades feature a small motor in the headrail as well as a discrete battery pack, plug the charging cord into the battery pack in your shade’s headrail to charge for a few hours every few months as needed.

Purchase a “Hub” device with your motorization package to add smart home and mobile app capabilities to your motorized windows, including voice controls to integrate with Alexa, Siri, Google Home Assistant, and more.

Keep in mind that due to the weight of real wood blinds and faux wood blinds, adding motorization will allow you to tilt the slats open and closed but not raise the entire blind to the full up, stacked open position.
