Roman Shade Systems
by Romanzia Window Coverings
Generic Intro Text
Somfy Motorized Headrail with Tube Lift Systems
To be used with Roman Shades manufactured, attached to the headrail, and corded by the customer. Such Roman Shades manufactured, attached, and corded by the customer must comply with ANSI/WCMA A100.11-2022 American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window Covering Products. Use of our motorized headrail does not in any way signify a shade’s compliance with the standard.
Motorized Roman Shade Headrails are made with your choice of Somfy RTS (radio remote controlled) motor mounted in a white powder coated roller with C-clips for attaching cords. The motorized roller comes mounted to a white mounting board that by default is 2.25” deep, 0.75” high, and whatever width is specified - up to 92” wide.
Lift Systems can be motorized with a wide variety of Somfy motors:
12 Volt DC Battery Powered Motors with internal Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries offer another great solution for windows where wiring would be difficult. Batteries must be recharged periodically. Solar chargers are available.
Somfy Roll-up 24 with built-in rechargeable battery – for shades 20 1/16” wide – 24” wide
Somfy Sonesse 28 with built-in rechargeable battery – for shades 24” wide – 60” wide

Manual Clutch Tube Real Lift Systems
Chain Drive Roman Shades use a bead chain lift system to raise and lower the shade. Chains are provided with a tension device for child safety. The tension device must be installed for the shades to operate properly.
