Infrastructure Planning for Reliable Operation
An exceptional motorized shade installation starts with detailed infrastructure planning during construction. We carefully evaluate each installation to determine whether wired or wireless solutions best serve your home's needs. For example, wired Lutron Palladiom systems conceal all functional shade electronics, from programming buttons to LED indicator lights, with an innovative rotating ring design, while wire-free systems run on Active Energy Optimization, extending battery lifetime to an industry-leading three to five years with fewer batteries.
Our detailed documentation specifies precise power requirements and low-voltage wiring paths that coordinate with your electrical contractor during rough-in. For wired installations, we map exact conduit routes from centralized control panels to each shade location, creating a clean installation without visible cables. We also plan dedicated circuits and proper backing requirements for recessed installations, working closely with your millwork fabricator to ensure proper clearances and ventilation.
Network integration requires additional coordination with your home's structured wiring system. We design pathways that allow motorized shades to communicate effectively with lighting control systems and climate automation, creating the foundation for sophisticated scene control. Comprehensive infrastructure planning eliminates troubleshooting later while providing clear pathways for future system expansion or technology upgrades.
Precision Control
True luxury lies in intuitive control that anticipates your needs throughout the day. Our engineering team strategically plans keypad locations for effortless operation so that shades integrate flawlessly with your Lutron lighting control system. We develop detailed programming that coordinates window treatments with ambient lighting, creating sophisticated scenes where "Morning" might gradually raise bedroom shades while bringing lights to energizing levels, or "Entertainment" could lower great room shades and dim lights for optimal viewing.
Climate integration adds another layer of intelligence to your motorized shades. We program automatic adjustments based on solar heat gain, helping maintain comfortable temperatures while reducing energy costs. South-facing windows might automatically lower shades during peak afternoon sun, while east-facing treatments open gradually as morning light shifts throughout the room. These coordinated responses happen invisibly, maintaining your home's comfort without constant manual adjustment.
Multi-zone control becomes essential in large mountain homes with varying light conditions throughout the day. Our programming accounts for seasonal sun angles, room usage patterns, and your personal preferences. We create custom scenes that manage entire floors or specific areas, providing consistent operation whether you're controlling a single shade or orchestrating treatments throughout your home. Precisely personalized programming transforms motorized shades from simple window coverings into intelligent environmental systems.
Balancing Performance with Design
We coordinate closely with interior designers to specify fabric selections and mounting options that complement your architectural vision. From jamb brackets that appear to float in midair to end brackets that beautifully showcase hand-finished surfaces, our detailed elevation drawings ensure perfect integration with millwork and window frames.
Our comprehensive documentation drives successful implementation from concept through completion. We provide architects with precise backing requirements, offer electricians detailed wiring specifications, and coordinate with builders to ensure proper rough-in installation. This collaborative approach extends to as-built documentation that captures every detail of your completed system—equipment locations, programming settings, and maintenance access points.
