Automation In Platte City
Motorized Shades & Blinds in Platte City, MO
Motorized shades and motorized blinds run on their own in a Platte City home, on a schedule or with one button. The top row of glass in a Seven Bridges great room is out of reach for anyone, and our Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades bring those shades down in the afternoon and back up in the evening with nobody touching them.
Where It Fits In Platte City
Where motorized shades fit in a Platte City home
Motors earn their place on tall glass in the newer homes, on any window you can't reach, and in a house that sits empty while everyone is at work or school.
- Two story great roomsSeven Bridges and Copper Ridge have windows above the first floor. Rechargeable motors run those upper shades on a timer, and nothing gets wired.
- Empty houses in the afternoonShades that close on their own while you're at work keep the sunny side of the house cooler by the time you're home.
- Walkout slidersA motorized shade on the slider under the deck clears the door with one button instead of a long pull.
- Windows over countersThe window over the kitchen sink or a deep counter is hard to reach, and a remote or a voice command takes care of it.
Worth Knowing
Rechargeable motors, schedules and voice control
Whatever product you choose, we can automate it. Roller Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Banded Shades, Natural Woven Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery, exterior patio shades and awnings can all be motorized. You can run Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades with a remote, a phone or tablet app, a wire free wall switch, or a voice command through Alexa, Google or Siri. A schedule closes the sunny windows before the afternoon heat, and a scene lowers every shade in the great room with one tap.
In a finished house the first question is wiring, and rechargeable motors need none. The battery is built into most of our products, and a charge every 6 to 9 months, taking 4 to 6 hours, keeps it running. Nothing has to run through the walls of a split entry or a ranch near downtown. Hardwired motors make sense on a new build going up south of town or a large install with many windows, and a solar panel can keep a high shade charged.
Each motor raises the price of its shade, and a bedroom window within easy reach is better served by Cordless Lift, so your Design Specialist marks which windows earn a motor and which don't. The consultation is free, your quote holds for 180 days, and our Install Techs pair the motors, set up the app and the schedules, and run every shade with you before they leave.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Platte City homeowners
No. Rechargeable motors need no wiring at all, which is why they fit almost every existing home we work in. Charging the built in battery every 6 to 9 months is all the upkeep it needs. Hardwired motors are for new construction and larger installs.
Yes. Set a schedule to close the sunny side of the house in the early afternoon and open it in the evening. Changing the times takes a minute in the app, from home or from the office.
Yes, and with Siri as well, so a spoken command opens the great room shades. They also run from the app, a remote or a wall switch, and none of those need a smart home system.
For most windows, Cordless Lift or PowerWand does the job for less. A motor makes the most sense on tall great room glass, a wide slider and anything above the first floor, and the itemized quote lets you put one only where it pays off.
One remote runs up to 15 shades, or up to 30 with a bridge added. A scene can line up every shade in an open great room at the same height with one press.
Yes. Our full time Install Techs pair each motor, load the app on your phone, build the first schedule with you and test every shade before they go. They're our employees, not subcontractors.
