The Biggest Myths About Motorized Window Treatments

Tony Mers • July 27, 2022

Motorized window treatments have risen in popularity over the past several years, but like any new technology, there are a lot of misconceptions about them. Looking at some of the biggest myths about motorized window treatments may have you questioning whether this option is right for you, but we here at NorthShore are ready to clear up this misinformation.


Myth: Motorized Window Treatments Are Complicated

Some folks may find mechanizing their blinds or shades overly complicated or confusing. You might need to hire a professional to help with the installation, but using motorized window treatments is easy to learn and accessible for nearly everyone.

Many motorized treatments operate with remotes that use buttons for opening or closing. Even at their most complicated, these mechanical treatments are simple to understand and work for any homeowner when you set things up on a timer. Many treatments even work with apps that you can access on your phone.


Myth: Motorized Window Treatments Are Limited in Style

This may have been true several years ago when these treatments were new technology, but it remains one of the biggest myths about motorized window treatments despite no longer being the case. These days, you can find the treatments you’re looking for in a style you’re sure to love and still have them work with your new system. New trends and styles are always coming out, and the options continue to expand, so things aren’t as limited as they were years ago.


Myth: Motorized Window Treatments Are Too Expensive

When motorized window treatments only worked on one or two operating systems, they could be a little pricier. However, as treatments have become more accessible, many cost-effective options work with more systems. Some expensive treatments still exist on the market, but it's become more accessible than ever to find options that suit your budget when looking for new treatments.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about motorized window treatments, the experts at NorthShore Window Treatments have the information you need to make an informed decision. Please feel free to contact us today.

People have many options when it comes to shades. You might be looking for a specific style or want to control the amount of light that comes in. No matter what you’re looking for, there are good reasons to choose woven wood shades that you may not have considered. A Natural Feel The best feature about woven wood shades is the sense of nature they bring to your home. Because NorthShore creates each blind from natural materials, there's a unique sense of earthiness in them that goes well with any décor. Having a few plants in the same room with your new shades will make the entire room brim with the comforts of the outdoors. Eco-Friendly Another reason to choose woven wood shades is their positive impact on the environment. As previously mentioned, these custom window shades come from natural materials, so they look wonderful and are good for the planet. You can rest easy in your living space knowing you're doing right by the Earth. Easy To Manage Woven wood shades are some of the most accessible shades to work with. Installing them is a breeze once you slide the headrail into the window frame. Woven wood is easy to clean with a vacuum brush, but we recommend not spraying them with cleaner, as that could warp the wood. Lots of Customization Woven wood shades come in various colors and varieties that best fit your living needs. One significant advantage is that light-blocking screens are easy to attach and remove from your new shades, giving you complete control of how much light comes through.  Woven shades are the best way to go from being easy to install, benefit the planet, and offer a sense of comfort and customization that fits all needs. Here at NorthShore Window Treatments, we have all the window shades for your home. We can help you get the products you need at a price you’ll love.
