When people think of motorized window coverings, they usually think of shades. This blog and video will show you how motorized shutters work. Whereas with shades the function of the shade is identical with manual controls, with shutters it is a little different.
For example, when you watch the video, you’ll notice that the only function that the motorized units will perform is the Tilt. But realistically, this is the only thing that needs to be motorized. As a rule, shutters are designed to be tilted, not folded off the window for long periods.
