Motorized drapery systems no longer need an unattractive track. Nor do they need unsightly wires and motor boxes. QMotion Advanced Shading Systems has developed the industry’s first – and only –track-less motorized drapery rod. The next generation of motorized window fashions now adds seamless elegance to any residential or commercial space.The new wireless drapery rod goes even further, removing noise, external motors and wires. The patent-pending, battery-operated motors are tucked away inside QMotion’s drapery rod and are easily accessible for those infrequent times when you may need to change out the standard alkaline batteries—another industry first. For the 1.5” rods, we use C-cell batteries, and for the 2” rod, D-cell batteries. Depending on the size of the rod and frequency of operation, users can expect the battery life to be 1 – 2 years on average. The three most important features of QMotion’s Motorized Drapery Rods is first, this is the only drapery rod in the market that is battery-operated. Second, it is the only track-less and wireless drapery rod available, and third, it can be controlled by a remote or exclusive manual override feature, called Touch Wand Activation. Users gently ‘tap’ the wand to open or close draperies via movement sensing technology. What truly sets it apart from other drapery rods is that the motor and batteries are tucked away within the rod itself, removing the noise, external motors and wires. Plus, the batteries are easily accessible and changeable without removing the drapery panels. Another unique aspect of The QMotion Motorized Drapery Rod is that it does not require endless hours of work to install the system, which ultimately saves time and money for the installer. An electrician does not have to cut through dry wall, wire or rewire a system to install the rods. The motors and batteries are tucked within the rod itself, so you get a system so easy to install you won’t believe it’s motorized.By offering additional solutions, the contractor can bring more to their customers, for more of a one-stop-shop, and have the opportunity for additional profits from the sale of window treatments. Having additional offerings beyond basic electrical contract work and educated customers on energy savings will only add to their business and reputation. The automated rods will be supported by Qconnect (our intelligent interface for integration with most home automation systems) and Qsync (our smart device solution for supporting the QMotion App for iOS and Android) later this year. The drapery rods come in six finishes, with optional finials that are available in six designer styles. Drapery hardware can be mixed and matched and paired with decorative draperies to create a personalized drapery rod system that adds a distinctive look to your office or home. An adapter is also available for custom finials, for the ultimate in custom décor.
