Fauxwood Blinds

Motorized blinds combine natural beauty with enhanced functionality and offer an excellent solution to control natural light. With the best tilting resolution control in the industry, a single blind, or a group of blinds can be controlled from a single remote and all align perfectly. Ideal for hard to reach areas requiring light control, or scenarios that need a schedule to adjust the blinds automatically in a busy restraint environment, motorized tile motors combined with a wide array of control devices give you the options your business requires. Quiet Operation Solutions for motorized blinds include our premium offering of ultra-quiet operation ideal for patient and guest room settings. Individual & Group Control Motorized blinds offer flexibility so that your blinds operate according to your needs. Motorized blinds can be operated individually, together as a group or a combination of both options…instantly. Battery Option A completely wireless option that is battery-powered and eliminates the need for any wiring. Add an optional Solar Pack and create a maintenance-free and energy efficient solution!

Denser and thus heavier than tradition wood blinds, FR Fauxwood blinds are built with top of the line components to best withstand the rigors of commercial use. This includes heavy-duty metal and plastic components throughout. The Cord Tilter has a metal gear enabling a stronger and smoother rotation. When Wand Controls are selected, we equip the headrail with a Wand Tilting mechanism with a metal gear and stem making it the strongest tilter in the industry.
