SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

What a Motorized Shade System Includes

Review the main components that affect product choice, quotation accuracy, and installation planning.

Shade Type

Select the product family first: roller, solar, cellular, dual, zebra, roman, or sheer.

Fabric Function

Define openness, blackout, privacy, insulation, or decorative requirements.

Motor & Tube

Match motor torque and tube specification to window size and shade weight.

Mounting Method

Confirm inside mount, outside mount, ceiling mount, or recessed conditions.

Power Method

Plan wiring, low-voltage, battery, or project-specific electrical requirements.

Project Handoff

Prepare measurements, quantities, schedules, and installation expectations.

CHOOSE BY REQUIREMENT

Select by Performance Need, Not by Product Name

Start with the performance requirement, then narrow the shade family and fabric direction.

Need glare control?

Start with Solar Shades or Roller Shades.

Need blackout?

Consider Roller Shades or Dual Shades with blackout fabric.

Need insulation?

Cellular Shades are usually the first product to evaluate.

Need flexible privacy?

Zebra Shades, Sheer Shades, or Dual Shades may fit better.

Need a softer interior look?

Roman Shades or Sheer Shades can support decorative requirements.

Need one system for mixed rooms?

Use Roller, Solar, and Dual Shades as a coordinated package.

SPECIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

Information Needed Before Recommendation

These details help align product recommendation, pricing, and production planning.

Window Dimensions

Opening size, quantity, and grouping affect motor and tube selection.

Mounting Conditions

Inside mount, outside mount, ceiling mount, and recessed pockets change hardware planning.

Fabric Requirement

Openness, blackout, privacy, color, and heat performance should be clarified early.

Power Planning

Battery, wired, and low-voltage options require different project coordination.

Control Scope

Individual, grouped, scheduled, or integrated operation should be defined by zone.

Installation Phase

Confirm whether the project is design-stage, tender-stage, or ready for production.
