QMT5 Series Architectural Shade Hardware

QMT5 Series Architectural Shade Hardware from Crestron® is a mounting system that allows Crestron shades to be mounted on a wall or ceiling or in a pocket or window jamb. The hardware offers solutions for both single roll and dual roll shade applications. Motorized operation is provided by the nearly silent Crestron CSM-QMTDC-250-4 Digital QMT® motors.[1] The motor integrates with a Crestron control system through wireless communication, enabling the shades to be easily adjusted from remote controls, keypads, and touch screens.

The QMT motor snaps into its bracket and has a Quick Release button that makes installation and removal without any special tools quick and easy. Brackets that are left/right and up/down adjustable ensure mounting precision and shorten installation time by allowing the installer to make changes without removing and reinstalling the entire bracket.

The QMT5 Series Architectural Hardware lineup also includes single roll shade brackets for manual operation. Manually operated shades are a cost-effective solution for any shading application. Whether for installations in which motorized shades are unnecessary or not feasible or as a stop-gap before upgrading to motorized shades, manual shades offer the small profile and reliable, easy-to-install hardware of a Crestron shading solution with minimum effort.

To enhance child safety, the manual clutch roller shades are equipped with a Chainhold Tension device. This device is integrated into the product during manufacturing and cannot be removed without breaking. The chainhold tension device maintains tension on the chain when installed. If not properly installed, it prevents the shade from fully operating.

Angled Coupler

A specially designed coupler vastly increases the ease with which tandem shade configurations are installed.  Unique to the QMT5 Series Architectural Hardware, the angled coupler simplifies even the most complex of angular installation spaces.  It has the ability to hold two shades in tandem at any angle, making every bay window installation a breeze.

Single Roll Shades Versus Dual Roll Shades

Single roll shades are perfect for mounting shades in compact areas as small as 5 in. (127 mm) by 5 in. (127 mm). Dual shades hardware supports the installation of two roller shades with one set of brackets, allowing light-filtering and blackout fabrics within the same system for multipurpose rooms. Dual shades hardware requires an area 9 in. (229 mm) high by 6 in. (153 mm) deep high.
