ElectroPocket Savings Estimator

Mecho's ElectropocketTM is powering the future of motorized shade controls. ElectroPocket is easier, faster, and more economical to install than a standard pocket, and is the only UL certified shade pocket on the market. 

Not ready for motorized shades? ElectroPocket can be pre-wired on the job site before installation so it can be motorized at a later date. This innovative system makes it ideal for retro-fit, renovation, or tenant fit out projects.

To calculate your savings on labor, materials, and time using ElectroPocket vs. standard installation, enter the details of your next project in the ElectroPocket Savings Estimator below.
