Life in the Saskatchewan keeps us on the go whether you're managing a busy household, working from home, or heading out to enjoy your cabin at the lake. Motorized window shades from Battlefords Shade Co. give you one less thing to worry about, while adding modern convenience, better energy efficiency, and a touch of luxury to your Saskatchewan home or cabin.
How our Motorized Shades Work Our MaxxMotor system lets you control your shades with the touch of a button, a smartphone app, or even on a schedule. Options include:
Solo A1 Wand – A simple rechargeable battery-powered motorized wand directly on the shade (great for everyday use).
Remote Control versions for more advanced operation.
WiFi Hub – Connects your shades to your home WiFi for full smart home integration, remote access from anywhere, and automation with Google, Alexa, or Control4.
You can program shades to:
Open in the morning to let in warming prairie sunlight and help passively heat your home.
Close automatically at sunset to trap heat during our long, cold nights.
Adjust based on time of day or sunlight to reduce glare and protect furniture.
Why Motorization Is Ideal for Saskatchewan Homes
Energy Savings – In our winters, motorized shades help optimize insulation exactly when you need it most, potentially lowering those high heating bills.
Child & Pet Safety – Fully cordless design eliminates dangling cords entirely.
Convenience for Hard-to-Reach Windows – Perfect for tall or angled windows common in local homes and new builds.
Quiet & Reliable – Our motors are designed for smooth, whisper-quiet performance with a 5-year warranty on the motor line.
Great Value – Premium smart features at a more accessible price point compared to some bigger-name systems—without sacrificing quality.
We offers motorization across many popular styles, including roller shades, cellular (honeycomb) shades for superior insulation, dual shades (sheer + solid for versatile light control), and more. We’ve helped many local families upgrade to motorized options that fit their lifestyle and décor perfectly.
