The Perfect Amount of Sunlight

Natural light is the gold standard for brightening your space. Its only drawback is its unpredictability. After all, you can’t control the sun—but you can control the light that enters your home with motorized shading. Whether you desire soft, filtered light, complete privacy, or a wide-open view, our automated shades give you precise control at the touch of a button. Better still, with seamless smart home integration, your shades can adjust themselves automatically, creating the perfect ambiance all day long.

Benefits of Motorized Shades

Sophisticated Styles

Choose from a vast collection of designer fabrics, colors, and styles, ensuring your automated shades beautifully complement, rather than compete with, your home's unique aesthetic.

Protect Furniture & Artwork

Preserve your valuable interiors by programming shades to automatically block harsh UV rays during peak hours, preventing fading and sun damage over time.

Energy Efficiency

Automatically close shades during the hottest part of the day to block solar heat gain, reducing your reliance on air conditioning and lowering energy bills.

Privacy & Security

Schedule your shades to close at dusk for instant privacy. When you're away, have them adjust automatically to simulate occupancy, making your home more secure.

How Motorized Shades Fit into Whole Home Automation

Motorized shades truly elevate a smart home when they work in concert with your other systems. We integrate your shades into your home’s central control system, allowing them to react intelligently to your environment and schedule. Imagine a ‘Movie Night’ scene that dims the lights and lowers the shades simultaneously with a single touch. We can program the shades to automatically adjust based on the time of day, protecting your home from excess heat in the afternoon. This seamless integration means every element of your home works together, creating a truly responsive and luxurious environment.

Everything to Know about Motorized Shades

What are the main benefits of motorized shades?

Beyond the ease of one-touch control, automated shades offer significant benefits. They can automatically close during peak sun hours to reduce energy costs, protect valuable furniture and artwork from fading by blocking harsh UV rays, and be scheduled to close every evening for effortless, guaranteed privacy.

How are motorized shades powered?

There are two primary power options. For new construction and major renovations, we recommend a low-voltage wired solution, which provides the highest level of performance and reliability without ever needing batteries. For situations where running a wire isn’t feasible, sophisticated long-life battery solutions are also available.

Can you motorize my existing blinds or shades?

To guarantee a seamless and reliable experience, we provide a complete, factory-engineered solution where the motor and the shade are designed to work together perfectly. While some window treatments can occasionally be retrofitted, we typically do not motorize client-owned shades, as we cannot ensure the long-term performance of the final product.

Do motorized shades work with my existing systems?

Motorized shades seamlessly integrate with any existing smart systems you already have. We design our solutions to match the tech you’re already comfortable with, so you can live the lifestyle of your dreams. Plus, our solutions integrate with any future plans you may have for smart home upgrades.

What control system works with my motorized shades?

There are several control systems you can choose from for your motorized shades. A voice command system to speak your preferences into existence, an app on your phone to control your home remotely, a central panel within easy access in your home, or a mix of all three! We will also automate your shades to adjust as the natural light of the day changes.

How do I control the shades?

Shades are controlled from the same intuitive interfaces as your lighting: a custom-engraved keypad, the mobile app, or by voice command. More powerfully, they can operate automatically—either on a schedule to match the time of day or in response to a sun sensor—to manage light and heat without any input from you.
