{"title":"Motorized Bamboo Shades \u0026 Blinds","description":"\u003cp\u003eBamboo shades are often hung on the windows that are hardest to reach: a tall living room window, glass over a deep counter, or a row of windows across a wall. A motor lets you raise and lower them from a remote, a wall switch or an app instead of reaching for a chain. This page is for motorized bamboo shades and blinds, built on our woven wood shade with the same natural weaves, fold styles and liners as the manual version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you can choose on a motorized bamboo shade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoven wood shades\u003c\/strong\u003e are the product on this page. Motorized woven wood is available in all three fold styles. Flat fold hangs in a crisp plane when lowered. Waterfall flows from the front of the headrail for a smooth continuous face. Hobbled holds cascading folds at any height for a softer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two ways to power the lift. Electric with smart control runs from a remote, a wall switch or an app, and works with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomePod. Electric with powerwand uses a rechargeable wand and pendant, so there is still no cord at the window. Motors come in rechargeable battery and plug-in versions, and a battery motor can be charged by a solar panel, which is the answer for a high window you do not want to take down to charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiners work the same way on a motorized shade. An unlined weave is about 50% see-through. A light filtering liner takes it to about 70%, and a blackout liner makes the shade fully blackout. The liner covers the valance too, so the front reads as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a pair of windows side by side, two shades can share one headrail. With a middle mechanism, a single motor drives both shades, so they move in step and the light seal is tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMotor sizes, widths and smart home options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery motorized woven wood shade runs up to 96 inches wide and from 18 to 118 inches high. The motor you choose sets the minimum width. The standard DC motor fits windows from 12 3\/4 inches wide, which makes it the narrow-window option. The lithium battery motor, the AC plug-in motor and the quiet power lift motor need at least 25 1\/4 inches, because the motor tube has to fit inside the headrail. The motorized headrail is 2 inches deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor voice control, the Zigbee motor connects straight to five Echo models with no hub: Echo Plus (2nd Gen), Echo Studio, Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen), Echo Show (2nd Gen) and Echo Show (4th Gen). Other Alexa devices need a hub. The Matter motor connects directly to Apple HomePod and HomeKit, and also reaches Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The standard radio motor and the plug-in motor need a hub for smart control. Each motor stores six positions, the top and bottom limits plus four in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotor upgrades are a flat add per shade: $124 for an AC plug-in motor with remote, $148 for a battery motor with remote, and $172 for a Zigbee or Matter smart motor with remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasuring and installing them yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an inside mount, measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the frame and use the smallest figure, rounded down to the nearest 1\/8 inch. Measure the height on both sides the same way. You need at least 1 5\/8 inches of frame depth, and 2 5\/8 inches for the shade to sit flush. Send the exact numbers and we take the 1\/4 inch width deduction at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA battery motor charges fully in about four hours. Charge it for at least six hours every six months, even if it has not run low. Natural woven fabric is not a good fit for bathrooms or other humid rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA motor turns a beautiful bamboo shade into one you actually use every day. Order a woven wood sample to see the weave in your light, then send your sizes and we will make each shade to measure and ship it direct to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"woven-wood-shades","title":"Woven Wood Shades","description":"\u003cp\u003eNatural woven material, bamboo, reed, jute and wood, made up as a folding shade. Every weave in the range is the same shade underneath. The liner you choose behind it is what decides how much light gets through, so you pick the look first and the light control second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoose your liner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlined, these weaves are roughly half see through. You get texture and a filtered view rather than privacy, which suits a room where the window is a feature and the light is welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA light filtering liner closes the weave down to a soft even glow, keeping daytime privacy while the room stays bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blackout liner closes it completely. The shade still reads as natural texture from inside, and the room goes properly dark with it down, which is what makes woven wood workable in a bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhichever you choose, the liner is fitted to the valance as well, so the whole window matches. Liners can be attached, sitting permanently behind the face for a clean seamless look, or movable, which gives you two independent layers on separate controls so you can run the weave and the liner apart from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFold styles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterfall flows from the front of the headrail for one continuous face. Flat fold hangs from behind the headrail so the panel sits crisp and flat when lowered. Hobbled holds soft cascading folds at any height.

Zigbee motors pair directly with select Amazon Echo models, and reach any other Alexa setup through a hub. Matter motors join Apple Home directly, and also connect to Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a shade is on your network you can move it by voice, group shades into rooms and scenes, and set schedules so they open in the morning and close at night without you touching anything. Each motor stores six positions, the two end limits plus four favourites, so a half open setting is a single button press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA top down bottom up build is available, letting you drop the shade from the top for light while the bottom stays closed. Note that top down bottom up cannot be combined with a movable liner, since both need the same space in the headrail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne note on placement. These are natural fibres, and prolonged moisture warps and distorts them, so they are not the right choice for a bathroom or any consistently humid room. Moisture damage is not covered by the warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery shade carries a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser.
