The motorized shade market still has plenty of “lift” in it for integrators. According to a recent consumer study conducted by Olibra, developer of the Bond Bridge RF-to-Wi-Fi platform, demand for motorization of window treatments is strong among homeowners. Indeed, the most telling statistic from the research is that 64% of homeowners would like every single shade in their home to be motorized. That is quite remarkable given the relative newness of automated window treatments.
The study, which was fielded among 100,000 active motorized shade users, reveals the average number of motorized shades per home is six, with half of them installed by professionals and half done as a DIY project. The Olibra study also identifies what homeowners seek in shades and smart control and indicates that abundant sales opportunities exist in the category for custom integrators.
Among the key points from the Cresskill, N.J.-based Olibra survey and takeaways are:

And in serving this demand, the Bond Bridge platform is being adopted by more and more leading shade brands industrywide. There is no better time for CI’s to get onboard and take advantage of these opportunities,” says Bond Home CEO Zohar Shinar.
The Bond Home portfolio makes it easy for the CI to bring advanced control regardless of brand. The Bond Bridge ($99) and Bond Bridge Pro ($379) consolidate and unify control of shades from:
Bond’s wireless, battery-powered Sidekick for Shades keypad provides direct RF control of shades and awnings that utilize Rollease Acmeda, Somfy, Dooya, Nice and AMP motors. The Sidekick Scene Keypad can trigger events of shades, entertainment, HVAC, and lighting systems through Control4, Elan, RTI and URC home automation systems. (Both Sidekicks MSRP for $79).
