WandIQ Magnetic Control

What if you could have the clean look of cordless shades and the precise control of a wand—without batteries, motors, or apps? WandIQ makes it possible. This innovative system replaces the traditional pull cord with a magnetic wand that attaches to the bottom rail via a strong neodymium magnet. To lower the shade, simply tap the wand downward; the magnetic coupling releases the brake and the shade glides down. Tap up to raise. Tap again to stop at any position. It’s intuitive, silent, and requires zero power. The wand is removable and can be stored out of reach of children, yet it never gets lost because it always snaps back to the rail. WandIQ is available on any of our roller shade fabrics, in any opacity, and is custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. For those who want cordless simplicity without the spring‑tension compromises.

Magnetic Impulse Technology

WandIQ uses a beautifully simple mechanical principle. A high‑strength rare‑earth magnet inside the wand connects to a ferrous plate embedded in the bottom rail. A light tap sends a directional impulse through that magnetic bond, releasing the internal brake. The shade then lowers under its own weight or rises with a gentle assist. There are no electronics, no batteries, no motors—just a precise, maintenance‑free mechanism that will never age out or require updates.

Retrofit Existing Shades

If you already own our standard pull‑cord shades, you don’t need to replace them to go cordless. The retrofit kit includes a new bottom rail with the magnetic plate plus the WandIQ wand assembly. Installation takes under five minutes and requires no tools. It’s an easy, affordable way to child‑safe your existing shades without buying new ones.

No Charging Required

Motorized shades need charging. Cordless springs can lose tension. WandIQ avoids both issues entirely. With no power source and virtually no moving parts, the system performs the same on day one as it will years later. It’s especially useful for tall or hard‑to‑reach windows where battery changes would be inconvenient.

Child‑Safe & Cordless

WandIQ eliminates all cords and loops, meeting full CPSC cordless safety standards. The wand itself can be removed and stored on a high hook when not in use, keeping it out of reach of children. When you place it back near the rail, it automatically re‑magnets into position. It’s the only cordless system that still gives you precise, incremental control over shade height.

Suitable for Heavy Fabrics

The system performs best with fabrics that have enough weight to lower smoothly—blackout, room‑darkening, and PVC materials are ideal. Very lightweight sheers may not descend evenly under their own weight, in which case we recommend cordless spring or motorized operation. During checkout, our system flags fabrics that are too light for optimal WandIQ performance.

Quiet Operation

Some cordless mechanisms make a ratcheting or clicking sound as they move. WandIQ is nearly silent. The magnetic release produces only a soft tap, and the shade glides smoothly without mechanical noise. It’s a favorite for nurseries, bedrooms, and recording environments where quiet operation matters.
