Turner shares how the acquisition has strengthened PowerShades' supply chain, fabric development, manufacturing resources, and dealer support while opening the door to broader product categories.</p><p>The conversation also covers PowerShades' origin story, the company's early work with PoE motors, the challenges of launching a factory just before 2020, and why lighting and shading are natural partners in smart home design. Turner also explains how integrators can become more comfortable selling motorized window treatments by partnering with designers, getting involved earlier in projects, and treating shading as another layer of the connected home experience.</p>
