Motorized shades are the foundation of architectural shading design. Whether you need to manage solar heat gain across 40 feet of south-facing glass, create total blackout in a private cinema, or simply enjoy automated sunrise routines — the right shade system transforms how you experience every room.
We design shade environments — not individual window coverings. Every shade is specified with attention to fabric performance, motor type, mounting method, alignment tolerance, and automation integration. The result is a cohesive shading system where every window in your estate operates in concert.
Our motorized shade installations integrate directly with Savant, Lutron RadioRA 3, Lutron HomeWorks QSX, and Control4 platforms — enabling one-touch scene control, time-based automation, sun-tracking schedules, and coordination with lighting and climate systems throughout your home.

FAQ
Motorized Shades — Questions Answered
What is the difference between roller shades and cellular shades?
Roller shades use a single layer of fabric that rolls around a tube, offering clean lines and a modern aesthetic. Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap air in honeycomb-shaped pockets, providing superior insulation (R-values up to 5.0) and sound dampening. Both can be fully motorized and integrated with home automation.
Can motorized shades be installed in existing homes?
Yes. Battery-powered motorized shades require no wiring and can be installed in any existing home. For hardwired installations in renovations, our team coordinates with electricians to route low-voltage wiring to each window location. Both approaches integrate with Savant and Lutron automation platforms.
How long do motorized shade batteries last?
Battery-powered motorized shades typically last 1-3 years between charges depending on usage frequency. Many premium systems use rechargeable battery packs that can be charged in place without removing the shade. Hardwired installations eliminate battery concerns entirely.
What solar factor should I choose for my shades?
Solar factor depends on window orientation and your goals. South-facing windows benefit from 1-3% openness factor for maximum heat rejection. East/west windows with direct sun may need 3-5%. North-facing windows can use 5-10% for view preservation. We analyze each window's sun exposure and recommend the optimal fabric specification.
