The Power Wand lift system offers a cordless, convenient way to control motorized blinds and shades.
Power wands provide the ultimate combination of ease, precision, and safety, allowing you to operate your window coverings without cords or manual effort.
What is a Power Wand Lift System?
A Power Wand is a cordless electronic controller for motorized blinds and shades.
Operation: Use the wand buttons to move shades up, down, or stop at a favorite position.
Incremental Adjustments: Some Power Wands can be programmed to make precise, incremental movements for customized light control.
How it Works: The wand sends an electronic signal to the motor inside the shade or blind, which moves the window covering smoothly and quietly.
Cord-Free Convenience: Eliminates dangling cords while maintaining full control, improving both safety and aesthetics.
Perfect for Hard-to-Reach Spots: Ideal for areas like over a kitchen sink, where you can raise and lower the shade with a simple touch of your hand instead of leaning over the counter to operate a cordless shade.
Power Wands are ideal for homes where ease of use, motorization, and child/pet safety are priorities.
Benefits of Power Wand Lift Systems
Cordless & Safe: No dangling cords to pose hazards for children or pets
Precise Control: Up, down, stop, and programmable favorite positions
Incremental Adjustments: Fine-tune shade positions for perfect light and privacy
Convenient & Modern: Perfect for hard-to-reach areas like over a kitchen sink. No remote control to find; just a simple touch of the wand
Cost-Effective Option: Power Wands offer effortless operation without full automation costs
Durable & Low-Maintenance: Designed for long-lasting performance

Visit our showroom to see displays of the various pleat style options. Our experienced designers are ready to help you create beautiful custom drapery for your home!
The pleat style you choose for your custom draperies significantly impacts the over all look and feel of your window treatments and the room.
Pinch Pleats
Pleats are spaced evenly across the panel and “pinched” at either 4″ or 6″ below the top depending on the length of your panel (this can also be customized!). A good rule of thumb: longer panel, larger pinch. The pleats create fullness and ensure you have uniform folds. You can choose a double or a triple pinch.
Style: Classic, traditional (but still feels contemporary)
Also known as: Two-finger pleats, three-finger pleats, French pleats Note: Some very thick fabrics cannot be pinched, but we can help advise.
Top Pinch Pleats
Pleats are spaced evenly across the panel and “pinched” at the top, allowing the pleat to flare out. The pleats create fullness and ensure you have uniform folds. You can choose a double or a triple top pinch.
Style: Tailored, traditional
Also known as: Euro pleats, fan pleats Note: Some very thick fabrics cannot be pinched, but we can help advise.
Inverted Pleats
The inverted pleat allows you to create fullness with the pleats but has a more streamlined look. The pleats are stitched in the back giving you a flat-faced front.
Style: Modern, contemporary
Also known as: Box pleats
Ripplefold Pleats
The ripplefold is a popular style that is well-loved by architects and designers. It has a signature “S” fold. The top is constructed with a snap tape that attaches to a track. This allows for a very smooth glide. The hardware is very minimal allowing the eye to focus on the fabric. It is often considered when drapes are tucked into a recessed ceiling, completely eliminating the view of the hardware.
Style: Minimal, sleek, hotel-chic
Also known as: S fold Note: Ripplefold panels require specialty hardware.
Grommets
You can opt for grommets instead of traditional drapery rings giving you a lofty look. The volume and drape will be similar to a flat panel.
Style: Casual, industrial
Note: Your panels will extend above the drapery pole. That space will need to be considered when installing the rod height.
Pole Pocket
This is a very budget-friendly option because there is no need for rings or drapery hooks. A pocket is simply sewn into the header allowing you to slide the panel over the rod. It will organically create folds and gathers. We like this style for shorter café curtains. If you plan on opening and closing your drapes often, we do not recommend this style as the panels will not glide as easily across the rod as other top styles. It is recommended for panels that will be stationary most of the time.
Style: Casual, simple
Note: To remove the panel, you will need to remove the rod from the brackets.
Patio Door Window Covering Solutions in Winnipeg for Large & Sliding Doors
The right patio door solutions for sliding glass doors make it easy to enjoy your outdoor space while maintaining complete control inside your home. Because sliding glass doors are large and operate horizontally, they can be challenging to cover without interfering with handles, tracks, or everyday access. Traditional blinds often fall short. That’s why our experienced Design Consultants help you choose a solution that fits perfectly, operates smoothly, and complements your space. From classic vertical blinds to honeycombs on a vertical track or a 2-on-1 headrail, vertical sheers, natural shade drapery, gliding panels, bi-fold shutters, shutters on a track system, and fully custom drapery, we offer tailored patio door solutions designed for effortless access, light control, and privacy — without compromising style.

Covering garden doors requires window coverings that handle frequent use without sacrificing style. Their size, glass surface, and daily operation can make traditional blinds impractical or prone to movement and wear. That’s why slim headrails and secure hold-down brackets are commonly recommended. They create a streamlined look while keeping shades stable and quiet when the door opens and closes.
Several options work especially well for garden doors. Tilt-only sheer shades allow light control without raising and lowering the shade, reducing wear over time. Honeycomb shades are a smart choice because of their slim headrail profile and energy-efficient design. Honeycombs on a TrackGlide systemare specially engineered to address garden door and tilt and turn windows. Shuttersremain a premium solution, offering exceptional durability, privacy, and light control while helping reduce heat transfer and block unwanted light.
With expert guidance from Superblinds, you can select garden door window covering solutions in Winnipeg that combine function, longevity, and refined design.
The right fabric can completely transform a room because it shapes light, texture, and overall mood. For example, heavy drapery fabrics absorb light and create a warm, cozy atmosphere. This makes them ideal for bedrooms and formal living spaces. In contrast, lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen reflect natural light, helping your space feel bright, airy, and open. As a result, choosing the right window treatment fabric is essential to achieving both comfort and style.
In addition, colour, pattern, and texture allow you to personalize your home design. Neutral fabrics establish a calm, balanced foundation, while bold colours and statement patterns introduce energy and personality. Textured materials add depth and dimension, creating a layered, inviting look that feels thoughtfully curated.
Our wide selection of premium fabrics from Maxwell, JF Fabrics, Unique Fine Fabrics, and Alendel offers endless possibilities for custom drapery, upholstery, bedding, and decorative accents. By repeating fabrics throughout your space, you create a cohesive, polished look that feels fully personalized.
Our Design Consultants walk with you through every step of the fabric selection process, considering how light moves through your space, how the room functions, and the performance you need. They also help coordinate drapery hardware and pleat styles so your stationary panels and traversing drapery are both functional and beautifully refined.
Start with fabric, feel inspired by its texture and colour, and let it guide the design of a home that is stylish, purposeful, and uniquely yours.
In this area, homes are at the mercy of the weather, experiencing up to 50% energy loss through the window. Protect your home with energy efficient window treatments that insulate throughout the year, no matter the temperature outside.
Energy-efficient window coverings improve your home by enhancing insulation, regulating temperature, and reducing energy costs..They can keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems and potentially saving you money on energy bills.
The Best Features for Energy Efficiency
This part of the country is known for the exhausting heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter. It’s these extremes that can make Winnipeg City area homeowners searching for ways to make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable–no matter the season. Believe it or not, you can experience incredible energy saving features with window treatments. Cellular Shades are well-known when it comes to preventing energy loss at the window. The honeycomb shaped cells house air, creating an insulating barrier between the interior air and the exterior air. Window shades, as well as fabric shades, roman shades, draperies and shutters, can all stop the sunlight from entering your home, making you feel as though you’re in the oven. But, the benefits don’t stop there.
Top Down Shades offer the ability to cover the majority of the window, protecting the interior of your home, while inviting natural light to flow in across the ceiling. This illumination will brighten your space, giving way to treetop views, but still allow the effect of energy saving.
Smart Shades are capable of touch of a button adjustments, or the “set it and forget it” experience of scheduled changes. Enjoy soft morning light, and watch as your motorized shades close up as the temperature begins to rise. It’s so smart, it’ll surprise you.
Dual Shades are another fantastic way to increase energy saving in your home. With two shades on one headrail, you can enjoy wide open views, the diffused light of the front translucent sheer shade, or the blissful darkness of a blackout secondary shade. This revolutionary system customizes your atmosphere with simple changes.
Drapery Hardware – The Finishing Touch for Custom Draperies
Drapery hardware is more than just functional—it transforms your window treatments into stylish design elements. Curtain rods, rings, and finials add sophistication and allow homeowners to express personal style. Coordinating the hardware with your decor creates a cohesive, polished look.
In addition to aesthetics, drapery hardware enhances the functionality of your curtains. Smooth operation, proper support, and a tailored appearance all depend on quality hardware. Whether you’re opening, closing, or adjusting your drapes, the right system ensures effortless performance.
Our Drapery Hardware Selection
At Superblinds, we carry a wide variety of drapery hardware from multiple suppliers to give you the perfect finishing touches for any custom drapery project. Every piece is designed to complement your window treatments while providing durability and smooth functionality.
Common Drapery Rod Styles
There are several popular styles of rods used to hang drapery, each offering unique benefits:
Channel Rods: Perfect for a sleek, modern look and ideal for heavier draperies.
Drapery Rods: Classic rods that add style and sophistication to any window treatment.
DS Tracks: Designed for smooth, seamless operation. These tracks have a low profile and let the drapery be the focal point.
Choosing the right rod style ensures your drapes hang beautifully while working flawlessly every day.
Channel-Rods

Channel rods are a combination of a regular rod and a DS track. Not only do they provide a nice aesthetic to the overall look of your drapery, they also allow drapery to be fully functional without the wall brackets restricting the movement of the drapery. The rod utilizes a track system with gliders or carriers that move within a channel to open and close curtains. These gliders are attached to the curtains, allowing them to slide smoothly along the rod when pulled with a wand. This system provides a clean and efficient way to operate curtains, minimizing friction and wear on the fabric.
Enhance Your Custom Drapery with the Right Hardware
Selecting the right drapery hardware is essential to completing your custom drapery project. From style and finish to function and durability, Superblinds provides solutions to enhance every window in your home. Our experts can guide you through the options to achieve both a polished look and effortless operation.
