Motorization Updates Inspired Shades Motorized Products We're excited to share some upcoming improvements to our motorization options, including USB-C charging ports and sleek new designs. Please note, the updates listed below apply for Inspired Shades motorization only and do not apply to Smart Home Motors. Remote Motor USB-C Charging Ports All Inspired Shades Remote Motors are being updated to charge with a USB-C charging port. Remote Motors ordered from the Dual Sheer Shade Collection are now using USB-C charging ports. The rest of the Inspired Collections will follow as each factory runs through their inventory of the micro-USB motors. Hand Held Remotes The hand-held 15 channel Inspired Shades Remotes have a new design and are available in both white and black. The new remotes feature a sleek design with added functionality including backlit LED Screen and AAA battery power. With the introduction of the new multi channel remotes, we will be discontinuing the single channel remote. This transition is expected to begin April 2025.  Stay Updated
Our factories will transition to the new motor options as they deplete their current inventories. Because of this, changes will occur by collection. We have added a tracking tab to the Production Times page of our website. This will be updated weekly as each factory transitions. Follow the link below to access the tracking tab. >> Motorization Transition Timeline

 Effective today, we have updated ordering systems for Drapery Hardware with Panels. See below for details of how to place orders in the new configuration. This was a necessary step to correct some pricing issues between PIC and Touchpoint. The new configuration of this product ensures it displays the correct price for drapery panel hardware. Moving forward, the prices below will be reflected in your ordering system. Rods, rod installation brackets, and rings for pinch pleat and ring ready panels are included in the retail hardware prices. How to OrderPlace orders under the Inspired Shades Drapery Hardware with Panels product in your ordering system. Drapery hardware is only available to order with drapery panels and is not available to order separately. Drapery panels and hardware are placed on the same line item in your ordering system. The order quantity will be based on the number of requested drapery rods. One Way or Split Draw will determine the number of panels received. One Way will be one panel per rod, while Split Draw will be two panels per rod. Example: Quantity 1 - One Way = 1 Rod and 1 Panel Quantity 2 - One Way = 2 Rods and 2 Panels Quantity 1 - Split Draw = 1 Rod and 2 Panels Quantity 2 - Split Draw = 2 Rods and 4 Panels For more information, watch our video below: >> How to Order Hardware with Drapery Product Guide

We do not expect to see significant delays. Production times are expected but not guaranteed. Production times are estimated for the time it will take your order to ship from our factory after it has been placed. They do not include transit time for delivery.
