Engineered to Exceed
Motorized Roller & Solar Shades
Lutron and Somfy motorized roller shades glide silently at the touch of a button or on an automated schedule. Solar shades filter harsh alpine UV while preserving your panoramic view, protecting artwork, flooring, and furnishings from sun damage without darkening the room.
Blackout & Privacy Drapery
For bedrooms and media rooms, our blackout systems achieve true light elimination — critical for restful sleep at high altitude where summer mornings arrive before 5am. We source and motorize premium drapery fabrics that complement your interior palette and drape beautifully.
Skylight & Specialty Shading
Vaulted great rooms, skylights, and angled clerestory windows require bespoke shading solutions. Our team specifies and installs custom-fabricated shades for any geometry, including motorized skylight blinds that dramatically reduce solar heat gain and glare.
Full Home Automation Integration
Every shade integrates with Crestron, Control4, and Lutron HomeWorks platforms so your window treatments respond intelligently to time of day, sun position, temperature, and occupancy — automatically protecting interiors during peak UV hours and opening at sunset for evening ambiance.
