Bottom clearance is determined by adding ½" to the outer cut width.

Fabric slats on the shade are 100% polyester.

Motorized Wand comes in 5 different color options: White, Off White, Grey, Bronze, or Black.

SelectBlinds Automation

SelectBlinds Automation is our latest innovation in motorized control, offering seamless two-way communication between your smartphone and shades, with support for unlimited shades, customizable scenes, and flexible timers.

For an average-sized shade under typical usage (raising and lowering once per day) the internal rechargeable battery will last around 6 months. BThe battery can be recharged up to 500 times. It takes approximately 7 hours to recharge the motor when fully depleted.

The internal rechargeable battery requires a 5V DC compatible charger, which is sold separately as a charging kit. The kit is available in white only and includes a power block and a 120” charging cable equipped with a USB-C connection. At least one charging kit should be added to your order,

The 5-channel remote can control up to 10 individual window treatments. Motorization lift system upgrade does not include remote. A remote is not required for system operation, but if remote control operation is desired, we recommend adding one remote to your order for every room of shades.

Add a Solar Panel to your order to keep your shades charged automatically, reducing the need for manual charging and battery maintenance. This convenient, energy-efficient option utilizes solar energy captured at the window and offers flexible mounting options. Product specifications and installation instructions are available here.

Motorization Instructions
