Motorized Shades & Blinds in Lansing, KS
Motorized shades and motorized blinds reach the windows in a Lansing house that nobody can reach by hand. The transom row over a Rock Creek great room sits high on the wall, and our Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades bring it down on a schedule or from your phone.
Where It Fits In Lansing
Where motorized shades fit in a Lansing home
Motors earn their place on high glass, on wide windows that are heavy to lift, and in a house that sits empty all day while everyone is at work or at school.
- Transoms and upper rowsThe two stories in Rock Creek Estates and Rock Creek Ridge put glass above the main windows. A rechargeable motor runs it with no wiring through the wall.
- An empty house all afternoonSet the west shades to close after lunch and open in the evening, and the great room is cooler when you get home up K-7.
- Wide patio slidersOn a wide slider, one button sends a motorized Roller Shade up out of the way, with no chain to haul on.
- Hard to reach spotsThe window over the sink or behind a sectional is easier on a remote. One button lowers it from the chair.
Worth Knowing
Rechargeable motors, schedules and voice control in Lansing
We can motorize almost everything we sell: Roller Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Banded Shades, Natural Woven Shades, blinds, shutters and drapery, plus Exterior Patio Shades and Retractable Awnings. Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades run from a remote, the app on your phone, a wire free wall switch, or your voice through Alexa, Google or Siri. A schedule closes the great room shades before the afternoon sun reaches the TV, and a scene can drop every shade in the front of the house with one tap at dusk.
In an existing Lansing house the first question is wiring, and a rechargeable motor needs none. Most of our products have internal batteries that you charge every 6 to 9 months, which takes 4 to 6 hours. A solar panel can keep the battery topped up on a window that's hard to reach, as long as it faces east, west or south with a clear view of the sun. Hardwired motors in low voltage or 110 volt fit a new build in Rock Creek Ridge or Basehor, where the wiring goes in before the drywall.
A motor adds to the cost of each shade, and on a bedroom window you can reach without stretching, Cordless Lift does the job for less, so we tell you where a motor is worth it. Battery shades side by side may not travel at exactly the same speed. The consultation is free, the quote holds for 180 days, and our Install Techs pair every motor, set up the app and the schedules, and run each shade with you before they leave.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Lansing homeowners
No. Rechargeable motors need no wiring at all, so they go into a finished Lansing house like a manual shade. The battery sits inside the shade and charges every 6 to 9 months.
Yes, and those are the windows motors are made for. A rechargeable or solar charged motor runs the top row from a remote, the app or a schedule, and nobody needs a ladder again.
Yes. Our Smart Shades work with Alexa, Google and Siri. The remote, the wall switch and the app also work on their own, so you don't need a smart home system.
Yes, on a schedule. Set the west shades to close after lunch and open at dinner, and the house stays cooler while nobody is home. The app lets you change that schedule from anywhere.
A single remote runs up to 15 shades, or up to 30 with a bridge added. One button can move every shade in an open great room and kitchen together.
Yes. Our full time Install Techs pair every motor, put the app on your phone, build the first schedule with you, and run every shade before they leave.
