Smart window coverings
Motorised roller shades, blinds and curtain tracks that open with the morning, close against the afternoon sun and drop for privacy after dark, from a wall keypad, your phone or a schedule.

What we install
- Motorised roller shades, cellular shades and curtain tracks, sized to the window
- Battery, low-voltage or hardwired motors depending on the room and whether walls are open
- Sun-tracking and temperature rules: shades close when a room heats up in July, open for winter sun
- Scenes: morning, movie, privacy and away, grouped by room or by facade
- A wall control in every room, so guests are never left hunting for an app
How it stays local
Shade motors talk to the controller over Thread. Schedules and sun rules run in the house. A remote or wall switch works even if the controller is being serviced.
Good to know
Fabric, openness and mounting are chosen with you during the survey. Window measurements are taken twice before anything is ordered.
What people ask before they book.
Do motorised shades need wiring, or can they run on batteries?
Both exist, and the room decides. Battery motors suit a window where the walls are already closed; low-voltage or hardwired motors suit a room being renovated, while the walls are open. We choose room by room during the survey, and tell you which windows are worth doing now rather than later.
Can shades do anything about the afternoon sun in summer?
That is one of the main reasons to motorise them. Sun and temperature rules close the shades when a room starts to heat up in July and open them for winter sun, grouped by facade so a whole side of the house moves together. The rules run on the controller, not on a cloud schedule.
Can guests use the shades without installing an app?
Yes. There is a wall control in every room, so nobody has to hunt for a phone. A remote or a wall switch keeps working even while the controller is being serviced, and the scenes behind those controls are the ordinary ones: morning, movie, privacy and away.
How do you make sure the shades fit my windows?
Fabric, openness and mounting are chosen with you during the survey, since a bedroom and a south-facing living room do not want the same thing. Every window is measured twice before anything is ordered, and each shade is sized to that window.
