Lighting Control and Automated Window Treatments

Together, lighting control and automated window treatments allow you to control every aspect of your home lighting and diminish unsightly wall clutter such as excessive switches.

Lighting control systems are typically network-based, so a whole home (or building) can be controlled from one spot.

Through crafty programming, lighting systems can be set to fully automated schedules that will turn off, dim, or brighten whenever you want. Some systems can even detect whether you are away from home and turn off the lights to maximize energy savings.

Automated window treatments function similarly, controlling ambient outdoor lighting remotely.

When the two are used in concert, the sky’s the limit on lighting configurations. I can show you what will make the most sense for your home and lighting situation, as well as your vision and needs for smart home automated light and shade control.

Voice-controlled draperies with Somfy myLink? Just ask Alexa to let in the perfect amount of natural daylight. She’ll turn on inside lamps and lighting for you also.

Smart Light Control has Many Key Advantages

Daylight has a quality that we respond to emotionally. Colors read true, finishes reveal their texture, and an uplifting quality pervades any room bathed in daylight.

Utilizing daylight reduces our need for electric light, and saves energy. Smart shading systems provide precision control of daylight – all at the touch of a button, or a spoken command.

  • Save Energy – you can save additional energy beyond the routine use of shades. You can take advantage of sunlight warming or blocking solar heat gain, all reducing cooling costs. Add to that sustainable shading fabrics and materials for even more environmental and energy savings.
  • Elegance & Ambiance – Stylish control and fabric options coupled with innovative technology elegantly transition a space to create the right amount of light for any activity. Shades align precisely within 1/16 in of each other for a balanced, beautiful look to a row of windows.
  • Convenience – Managing daylight is not restricted to a single wall station in your home. Shading systems can be controlled using a myriad of keypads, IR remote controls, wireless tabletop controls,  or set to an astronomic time clock for automatic adjustment of shades.
  • Safety & Security – Utilize a whole-home shading system for simultaneous control of all shades. By setting a predetermined scene for “Away”, simply select this button when leaving to close all shades and restrict the view inside your home.
  • Reduce Glare & Protect Furnishings – I offer shading systems that diffuse light and prevent glare from washing out a computer or television screen. Shading systems also protect furniture, fine art, rugs, and even wood surfaces, from the sun’s damaging UV rays.

Convenient user-friendly interfaces from a console, smartphone, or remote. Any or all of these can be set up to power your motorization.

Control privacy, lighting, energy efficiency, glare, and a myriad of otheraspects, all seamlessly integrated with all of your other smart homeautomation systems.

Let me show you how smart home automation with “whole home solutions” will give you total control over window treatments, lighting, and so many other aspects of living the good life.

Integrating best-in-class products and solutions that deliver superior performance makes it all work together, seamlessly and effortlessly.

Step 1:
We Consult

We discuss your vision and your
needs, and I'll provide you
with an estimate.

Step 2:
Review My Estimate

Approve the estimate and
pay a deposit to initiate
the project.

Step 3:
We’ll Install and You Enjoy!

It’s that easy! I’ll make the
whole process painless.

Here’s a simple step-by-step process of how we’ll work together and what to expect:

We’ll start with a phone conversation to get acquainted and I can learn about your project. We’ll discuss you and your family’s lifestyle. And I’ll have you describe your home and current interior styling and colors.

I’ll ask if you’ve seen and liked any specific window treatment styles on TV, in magazines, online, or at a friend’s home. Knowing all of this helps me prepare and present the right options for our first meeting.

I’ll also ask if you have a budget in mind? This is very important and it helps me to determine the framework for my design expertise as it applies to your situation. It’s important to me to not waste your time and disappoint you. For example, if you want seven double sets of plantation shutters and your budget is $2,000, I can tell you upfront, that it’s not possible. But with that information, I can show you all the beautiful ways a $2,000 budget will also achieve your goals.

At the end of our initial phone conversation, I’ll schedule a meeting with you to present product suggestions and take rough measurements of the areas you want window treatments for.

Within 24-hours of our meeting, I’ll prepare a proposal for you to review and approve.

If you decide to move forward, I’ll need to collect a 50% deposit. I accept all major credit cards. And I can even offer 0% financing!

I’ll schedule a second visit to have my installer come to your home or business to take precise measurements. He will analyze the walls and surfaces to determine the best approach for your installation.

Once final measurements are taken, I’ll prepare a factory order and will request payment for the balance. I’ll also give you an estimated installation date.

We will do a seamless and professional installation with full clean-up – afterward, you won’t even know we were there! All you’ll need to do is enjoy the beauty of your spectacular new window treatments!
