How To Hardwire Motorized Window Coverings

Colorado homes are becoming more technologically advanced, and motorized window coverings are becoming part of that technology. Hardwired motorized window coverings will offer you a maintenance-free power option. Pre-Wiring motorized window blinds are essential in the planning stage of your new Colorado home or commercial building project and must be considered before the walls are sealed off.

Pre-wire your home with motorized window coverings for the utmost safety and savings.

Pre-wiring your new Colorado home means you’ll never have to worry about changing batteries again. Motorized window coverings require a power source. Hardwiring motorized shades remove the need for unsightly external cords, making them very safe for households with young children or pets.

Since most systems use low voltage, two conductor wires (check your local building codes) should be used in Homerun fashion. Homerun means that each motorized blind, window shade, or plantation shutter has a dedicated wire that runs back to the centralized power supplies. The power supplies should be mounted in a safe, dry location (such as your basement) and out of sight. Some window coverings require high voltage, such as draperies and other vertical window coverings, so check with your New View Blinds and Shutters consultant first.

If you are beginning your build or remodeling projects and considering motorized window coverings in your Colorado home or other space, please consider pre-wiring for the utmost no-hassle convenience.
