A Wand That Lets Go

You can pull the wand off its magnetic connection at any time. That’s by design: it protects the lever the wand attaches to from being bent.

Reconnecting is as easy as it looks. Bring the two ends close together and the magnets snap them back into place. They’re strong, but a firm pull will always release the wand.

What to Consider

A few things to weigh before you choose. Our design consultants can help with all of them.

Safety First

No dangling cords makes SoftTouch® a safer choice for homes with children and pets. Read more about child-safe window treatments.

SoftTouch® or PowerView®?

SoftTouch® is simple wand control with a favourite position. PowerView® Automation adds the app, remotes, voice and schedules. See our smart blinds comparison.

Motorized or Manual

Not sure you need a motor at all? Compare motorized and manual blinds, or see Hunter Douglas vs Alta.

Energy Savings

Adjusting your shades to manage the sun through the day helps regulate indoor temperatures. Learn about energy-efficient window coverings.

Good to Know

A battery-powered motor moves your shade when you touch the wand: pull down gently to lower it, push up to raise it. There are no cords, and you can save a favourite position.

SoftTouch® is simple, cord-free wand control at a more affordable price. PowerView® Automation adds control from the app, remotes and your voice, plus scenes and schedules.

Duette® Cellular Shades, Silhouette® and Pirouette® Sheer Shades, Designer Roller Shades, Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades, Designer Banded Shades and Vignette® Roman Shades.

Sometimes. It depends on the shade and how it’s built. Tell us what you have, or book a visit, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
