The benefits you deserve with the style you love. Just because you want modern motorized window treatments doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. With Stoneside, we offer many different styles that can be motorized so you can get the best of both style and function.
Yes! By prolonging the life of your window treatments, boosting energy efficiency, and providing superb convenience, automation systems definitely pay off.
Instead of manually operating your window treatments, the motorized system does the work for you. Blinds can be raised and lowered by several means, such as wall switches, remotes, and smartphones and home devices. If you select automated blinds, the blinds themselves won’t move up or down, but the louvers will tilt to control light and privacy. Different ways to power motorized systems include battery operation and plug-in options.
These motors are warrantied for 5 years, but can last up to 10 years or more. This varies depending on the type of power source. All of Stoneside’s motorized systems are built for maximum durability.
Motorization is an upgrade to standard shades, so the cost would be the price of your custom shade plus the motor cost. The motors themselves start at about $200 and can go up to $500 to $600 depending on type and size of motor required. Some very large motors can cost over $1000. Want a custom quote?

They can use rechargeable batteries, solar-powered batteries, or replaceable AA lithium or alkaline batteries, depending on the type of system.
In most cases the motor can be replaced when the product is a Stoneside blind or shade.
No. This functionality must be selected when ordering your window treatment for proper assembly and installation, so if it’s something you’re interested in, consider getting it installed with your updated window treatments.
Our motorized systems are compatible with: Amazon Echo, Apple iOS, Android, Control4, Crestron®, Google Home, Lutron®, Savant, Samsung SmartThings, Wink, Zigbee, and Z-Wave®.
Motorization can't be beat for convenience and functionality when you see how easy it is to operate your new window treatments!
