It’s hard to beat the convenience of motorized window shades. But often, budget restrictions mean settling for manually operated shades – typically clutch shades.
Now it’s time for an upgrade, though, and there’s no way to retrofit motorized shades into the building without a lot of cost and extensive work to run wiring, right?
Wrong!

Thanks to the new Empower Upgrade Kit it’s simple and easy to say goodbye to bead chains – with no need for wiring!
The Empower Upgrade Kit – Manual to Motorized transforms Clutch-Operated FlexShade® window shades into battery-operated shades.
Battery operated shades have several advantages:
- Convenience: With battery-operated shades, you can control your window coverings with the push of a button, a remote, or even a smartphone app.
- Safety: Battery-operated shades are cordless, making them a safer option for homes with children and pets. This upgrade will bring your shades into compliance with ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022-the Child Safety Standard for window coverings!
- Energy Efficiency: These shades can be programmed to open and close at specific times, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.
- Aesthetics: Without cords, battery-operated shades offer a cleaner, more streamlined look.
- No electrician needed: The internal lithium-ion battery charges via a standard 110V outlet.
This cost-effective upgrade is designed for quick installation and uses the existing shade brackets!
