New Motorized Options From Lafayette Interior Fashions!

        Lafayette Motorized Options!

Lafayette has come out with THREE new motorized options! I will discuss a little about each options and  let you know what my personal favorite is of the three. The first option is the Momenta Remote Control Shade App. This option is available on their Auto-lift Parasol Cellular Shades And Tenera Sheer Shadings. You can download this app from the App Store for Ipad, Iphone or Ipod Touch- iOS 7.0 or higher. This program not only allows you to lower and raise your shades with your device, it also lets you set them to to raise & lower by day, time, sunrise or sunset!
     

        The next option is the EZ Charge Battery Motorization. This option is available for the Genesis Window Shades and the Allure Transitional Shades. This is a child safe solution at an exceptional value! This system has an internal lithium battery with 3 to 12 month life depending on the usage. A warning sound lets you know when the battery is getting low. This is a 5 channel remote control that can operate up to 5 shades individually or simultaneously. Recharging the shade is easy with the charger kit featuring a 12' cord, no re-installation is required.

The last option is the Auto Wand Battery Motorization which is also offered on the Genesis Window Shades and the Allure Transitional Shades. Auto wand is the most affordable motorization solution. This is east to operate & is a child safe solution. It has an external battery tune and uses a wand control. An electronic limit setting lets your stop at the highest or lowest point. The Alkaline battery life is about 6-12 months depending on usage, this option also has a warning sound to let the customer know when the battery is getting low.

         Any of these options would be great for someone looking for motorization options. However my personal favorite of all three new options would be the EZ Charge Battery. I love the idea of not having to worry about taking old batteries out, purchasing new ones and re-installing. I also love the fact that it warns you when the battery is getting low.

“Consider Aero Draperies for your room makeover. We recently visited the store in East Lyme and spoke to Linda about vertical blind replacements. She came to our home, made measurements and assisted us in the selection of style and color options. Within 10 days the blinds had arrived and installation was made. We have utilized Aero Draperies twice before and couldn’t be happier with the products, pleasant and knowledgeable staff.”

Window Treatment Spring Cleaning Tips!

Spring has arrived! It's time to freshen up the house & accomplish the projects you have put off for months. Here are some helpful tips on how to clean your window treatments to help prolong the life of them.

* Regular dusting will help keep shades & blinds clean with no dirt build up. 

*For your heavy drapes use a vacuum on a low setting to get a deeper clean

* For spot cleaning small stains use lukewarm water and mild detergent/soap- make sure that you only do this on fabric shades less than 8 years old (fabrics start to break down and become less durable over the years)

Of course you can always buy new window treatments if you have neglected cleaning them over the years. We can find you the best option that works for your clean

ing lifestyle.
