Motorized Shades
In Alpine, CA, our client sought effective solutions for their diverse window-covering needs. For their covered rear patio, the objective was to manage intense sunlight while preserving the view. We recommended Polar Shades‘ 5% E-Screen exterior shades, striking a balance between glare reduction and maintaining the scenic view. Opting for a Charcoal/Cocoa shade in darker hues ensured optimal visibility. Additionally, Zip-Rite tracks were installed to secure the shade edges, effectively keeping bugs out of the patio space.
In the bedrooms, our choice was cord-free room-darkening honeycomb (cellular) shades by ColorLux. The Verona – Cool Ashes color selection helped in keeping the heat at bay and allowed the family to sleep in comfortably after sunrise. Cordless cellular shades, such as those utilized in the bedrooms, offer versatile light filtering and room-darkening options, providing optimal control over light and privacy. Consider top-down/bottom-up cellular shades for enhanced flexibility in adjusting light levels while maintaining privacy.
Motorized roller shades by Alta, featuring Sheerweave 7400 Blackout fabric in the color Shale, were installed in the common areas with sliders and French doors. These shades come equipped with a multi-channel remote, allowing simultaneous raising and lowering, and can seamlessly integrate with smart-home systems or timers for added convenience.
These motorized window treatments not only provide convenience but also contribute to energy efficiency by efficiently managing insulation and light control. By programming the blinds to open and close at specific times, they maximize lighting efficiency, reducing the need for manual adjustments and improving overall energy consumption.
