Upgrade from Manual Shades

Did you know that you can upgrade your manual shades to motorized with Crestron? And that you can use your existing fabric and hardware? Crestron makes unique adjustable brackets that can fit just about any window. The process only takes a few minutes for each window. This level of versatility is not something you see every day.

What if you want to change out the look of your current window treatments? Crestron recently upgraded their selection of fabrics and colors and have put the samples in two new books called the Heritage and Designer collections. Looking at these new materials on a website doesn't do them justice; you and your designer should be able to feel the material quality with the physical swatches in the books, which will be available early next year. The new colors and selections for sheer, light-filtering, and blackout materials should please design-conscious homeowners. 

Simple and Reliable

Crestron is known for vertical integration, where it makes all the components of the systems it sells. Crestron shade motors conform to their elevated quality standards, with brushless designs that are ultra-quiet and highly reliable. So reliable, in fact, that Crestron backs the shade motors and power supplies with lifetime warranties. This excellent warranty should assure you that you’re buying a top-quality solution.
