Request a Free ConsultationWindow Treatments That Work Without You
Motorized shades do what manual treatments can't: they respond to your schedule, your voice and your routine without anyone having to get up and adjust them.
Scheduled Automation
Set your shades to open with the morning light and close at sunset without touching a thing. Somfy and Automate motors let you program schedules by room, by time of day or by scene so your home manages light and privacy on your behalf whether you're there or not.
Voice and App Control
Control every shade from your phone through the Somfy TaHoma or Automate Pulse app, or with a voice command through compatible smart home systems. Adjust a single room or every window at once without leaving your seat.
Hard-to-Reach Windows
Tall windows, skylights, windows above staircases and oversized windows in great rooms are the spaces manual treatments work least well in. Graber and CACO motorized shades with Somfy and Automate motors solve the problem cleanly without ladders or workarounds.
Who Benefits Most From Motorized Shades
Motorized shades are the right solution in more situations than most people expect. Here's where we install them most often across Alabama homes and businesses.
Homeowners Who Want Simplicity
If you find yourself adjusting window treatments multiple times a day, motorized shades remove that entirely from your routine. One schedule or one voice command handles every window in the house.
Families With Young Children or Pets
Motorized shades are cordless by design, eliminating the cord hazards that make traditional window treatments a safety concern in homes with children and pets. Cleaner look, safer home.
Large and Open Floor Plans
Homes with great rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows or open living spaces have too many windows to manage manually throughout the day. Motorized shades let you control the entire space in a single action.
Home Theater and Media Rooms
Precise light control without interrupting the room. Lower the shades for a movie, raise them when it's over, all without getting up or fumbling with cords in a darkened room.
Commercial Offices / Conference Rooms
Large south or west-facing windows create glare on screens and discomfort for anyone in the room. Motorized shades let a single person manage light across an entire floor or meeting room without disrupting work in progress.
Homeowners With Mobility Considerations
For anyone who finds manual window treatment operation difficult, motorized shades offer full control with minimal physical effort, from a phone, a remote or a voice command.
The Brands Behind the Technology
VanGogh carries motorized shade solutions from two trusted manufacturers, each built around proven motor technology and backed by professional installation.
Graber with Somfy Motors
Graber is one of the most recognized names in custom window treatments, offering a full range of motorized roller shades, cellular shades, solar shades and Roman shades. Their motorized collections run on Somfy motors, the global standard in motorized window treatment technology. As a certified Somfy dealer, VanGogh is an authorized source for Somfy-powered products in the Birmingham and Huntsville markets. Somfy's own dealer locator directs customers in our service area to VanGogh directly.
CACO with Automate Motors
CACO motorized shades run on Automate motors, a sister brand to Somfy and built on the same technology platform. The result is the same smooth, reliable operation with full compatibility with the Automate app and smart home integration. CACO gives VanGogh the flexibility to match the right motorized solution to each project regardless of budget or window configuration.
