Our motorized window shades bring together sophisticated design, smart technology, and unparalleled convenience to adapt to your lifestyle! The trade off, however, is that electric blinds can be a bit more expensive than a standard window covering. How much? We’ll discuss what impacts the prices of motorized blinds in this post.
The Type of Window Covering Affects the Base Price
Several factors will affect the starting price of your window covering, like the category and fabric. For example, roller shades are less expensive dual shades. But a vinyl roller would cost less than a woven roller. The good news is the size of the window covering does not affect the price of the motorized lift style.
Additional upgrades will also affect your base price. This includes the no drill headrail for easier installation, the type of fold (for roman shades), valances, liners, etc. Keep all of this in mind as you start customizing your motorized window covering.
The Lift Style Affects the Price
Lift styles vary per product, and the cost varies as well. Upgrading to a motorized lift can range anywhere from an additional $100 to over $300. In general, the flow of least expensive to most expensive lifts is: motorized wands, motorized remotes, smart home automation.
