How fast is production for these Window Shades?

Production is typically 2-3 Day(s) .




What are Express 9/16" Motorized Cell Shades?




Express 9/16" Motorized Cell Shades are honeycomb cellular shades that feature a built-in motor allowing the shade to be raised and lowered using a remote control. The 9/16-inch pleat size provides a clean, modern look that works well on most window sizes.





How do the motorized cellular shades operate?




The shades operate using a motorized lift system that is controlled by a handheld remote. With the press of a button, the shade smoothly raises or lowers to adjust the amount of light entering the room.





How is the motor powered on these cellular shades?




The motor is powered by eight AA batteries. This battery-powered system allows the shade to operate without hard wiring and provides reliable motorized performance.





How do the motorized cellular shades operate?




These shades operate using a motorized lift system that is controlled by a handheld remote. The motor raises or lowers the shade smoothly, allowing you to adjust the light level in the room without manually touching the shade.





What size pleats do these cellular shades use?




The shades feature 9/16-inch honeycomb pleats. This mid-size pleat is a popular option because it provides a balanced appearance that works well for both small and medium-sized windows.





Do motorized cell shades improve energy efficiency?




Yes. Cellular shades use a honeycomb structure that traps air inside the cells. This insulation layer helps reduce heat transfer through the window and can improve indoor comfort throughout the year.





Are motorized cellular shades a good choice for hard-to-reach windows?




Yes. Motorized shades are especially useful for tall windows or windows behind furniture where manual operation may be difficult. The remote control allows the shade to be adjusted easily from anywhere in the room.





Can one remote control operate multiple shades?




Yes. A remote control can operate a single shade or multiple shades at once, allowing you to control several windows simultaneously if they are programmed to the same remote channel.





Are Express 9/16" Motorized Cell Shades custom made?




Yes. Each shade is custom made to the exact window measurements you provide so the finished shade fits properly within your window opening or outside mount area.





Can these shades be installed as inside or outside mount?




Yes. The shades can be installed as either an inside mount within the window frame or an outside mount that covers the window opening and surrounding trim.





Will the measurements vary slightly when the shade is manufactured?




As with most custom window coverings, the finished shade size may vary slightly from the ordered dimensions. Typical manufacturing tolerance is approximately plus or minus 1/8 inch.





What type of windows are these motorized cellular shades best suited for?




These shades work well in living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and other areas where you want easy control of natural light while maintaining privacy and insulation.





How quickly are Express motorized cellular shades produced?




Express shades are designed for faster production than many custom window treatments. Production typically begins shortly after the order is placed before shipping.





What warranty comes with Express 9/16" Motorized Cell Shades?




These shades include a 3-year warranty with the option to upgrade to a 5-year warranty for additional product protection.

Measuring: I measured my own blinds!
Installation: I installed my own blinds!

We have had the shades about a month and we really like them. They look good. But,
the install instructions were a little confusing, but I figured them out. The motorized battery pack is mounted and hidden behind a valance out of sight. It is nice to be able to raise the said from bed with a push of a button to start the day.
