FAQ: Which top treatments can I use with 24v shades?

Low-voltage (24V) motorized shades offer a perfect balance of power and slim-profile hardware. Because 24V motors are more compact than their 120V counterparts, they provide maximum flexibility for architectural integration, fitting into nearly any top treatment in our collection.

Comprehensive Hardware Compatibility

The following top treatments are fully compatible with 24V motorized systems, allowing for a seamless transition between different window types across your project:

  • Architectural Fascia: Compatible with both 3-inch and 4-inch profiles (Square or Curved), as well as the heavy-duty 7-inch square fascia.
  • Pocket Systems: Fits perfectly into both 3.5-inch and 5.5-inch architectural pockets, including versions with tile support lips.
  • Cassette Systems: Compatible with 3.25-inch square and curved cassettes, including options with fabric inserts for a coordinated look.
  • Hanger and Closure: An excellent choice for recessed 24V installations that require a minimalist ceiling finish.

The 24V Advantage in Small Spaces

The primary benefit of specifying 24V motors is the ability to use the 3-inch fascia or 3.5-inch pocket. These smaller footprints are often preferred by architects for residential interiors and tight commercial window heads where space is at a premium but motorized performance is still required.

Planning a project with varying window sizes? 24V systems allow you to maintain consistent top treatment aesthetics throughout the space, regardless of the shade’s dimensions.
