FAQ: Which top treatments are compatible with battery shades?

Battery-powered motorized shades are the ultimate solution for adding automation to existing spaces without the need for electrical wiring. Because these motors are designed for compact efficiency, they are compatible with our full range of decorative and architectural top treatments.

Universal Hardware Compatibility

Whether you are looking for a sleek metallic finish or a fully recessed ceiling installation, our battery shades integrate seamlessly with the following systems:

  • Architectural Fascia: Available in 3-inch, 4-inch, and 7-inch profiles. Choose between Square or Curved designs to match your interior aesthetic.
  • Cassette Systems: Both 3.25-inch Square and Curved cassettes are compatible, offering a fully enclosed headrail that hides the battery and motor.
  • Architectural Pockets: Battery shades fit all pocket sizes, including 3.5-inch and 5.5-inch options. This is ideal for a clean, “hidden” look in residential or commercial settings.
  • Hanger and Closure: A minimalist solution for recessed mounting that provides a professional finish at the ceiling line.

Design Tip: Choosing the Right Housing

While battery shades fit into all our top treatments, the 3.25-inch Cassette or 3-inch Fascia are the most popular choices. These smaller profiles take full advantage of the wire-free design, allowing for a compact installation that doesn’t distract from the window’s architecture.

Planning an installation for a narrow window? Remember that embedded battery motors require a minimum shade width of 24 inches to fit within these top treatments.
