Commercial Window Coverings · San Francisco · Since 1998
Motorized Shades · San Francisco Bay Area
Whisper-quiet motorized roller shades that track the sun, harvest daylight, and answer to Lutron, Somfy, and Crestron — specified, installed, and commissioned by the Bay Area’s commercial motorized shade contractor since 1998.

Inside the System
A motorized roller shade is a precision machine — a tube motor, a control layer, and a fabric engineered for the light it manages. Here is what we put in the wall.
The motor lives inside the shade tube — invisible, and quiet enough for boardrooms, trading floors, and bedrooms. We size Lutron, Somfy, and Crestron motors to the exact weight and drop of every opening.
New construction gets hardwired low-voltage or PoE motors coordinated with your electrician. Retrofits get rechargeable battery motors and Somfy RTS wireless — no drywall work, no conduit runs.
Motorization eliminates operating cords entirely — compliant with California's window-covering child-safety law and standard on every system we specify.
Oversized openings, high-rise curtain walls, double-height lobbies, and clerestories — plus motorized tension systems for skylights and sloped glazing where gravity won't do the work.
The Control Layer
From a single keypad to a campus-wide building management system — we program every layer of the stack.
Certified Lutron programming and deployment for large commercial facilities — centralized shade control coordinated with lighting and HVAC across entire floors, with Palladiom keypads at the wall. We cover the full Lutron shade ecosystem: Athena, Sivoia QS, QS Wireless, RadioRA 3, and RA2 Select.
Somfy Pro dealer with animeo IP BMS gateway expertise — RS-485 addressing, IP connectivity, and BACnet/KNX bridging for full building automation integration on commercial campuses.
Motorized shade integration with Crestron automation systems — touch panel control, scheduled operation, and scene-based shade positions for conference rooms and boardrooms.
Battery-powered and RF wireless motorized shades for retrofit projects where hardwiring is impractical — Lutron RadioRA 3 and Somfy RTS for existing commercial buildings.
Astronomical timeclock and photosensor-driven automation — shades that follow sunrise, sunset, and the sun's position year-round. Daylight harvesting that reduces HVAC load and contributes to Title 24 and LEED energy credits.
Tube motor replacement and shade system upgrades for existing installations — retrofitting legacy systems with modern Lutron, Somfy, or Rollease Acmeda motors.
Interfaces
Where It Earns Its Keep
Twenty-six years of motorized installations across Bay Area high-rises, tech campuses, hospitality projects, and homes — field experience that prevents costly mistakes.
Silicon Valley tech offices
Automated solar shades that track the sun across the day — managing screen glare in open plans and cutting solar heat gain across whole floors, coordinated with Lutron or Crestron lighting scenes.
High-rises & oversized glass
Heavy-duty motors sized for curtain walls, double-height lobbies, and clerestories — plus motorized tension systems for skylights and sloped glazing. Phased, floor-by-floor installation logistics included.
Homes & penthouses
Whisper-quiet motors on app, voice, and keypad control — shades that open with the sunrise and close for movie night. Cordless by design, so they're child-safe out of the box.
Built for California Code
Automated shading is one of the few systems that pays off in comfort, energy, and compliance at the same time — but only when it’s commissioned and documented correctly. That paperwork is part of our scope, not an afterthought.
Title 24
California Energy Code
Automated shading earns Title 24 credits — and we provide the commissioning documentation and HERS rater coordination California requires to claim them, from plan check through final inspection.
AB 2263
Child-safe cordless
Motorization eliminates operating cords entirely, so every system we install complies with California's window-covering child-safety law by construction — not by accessory.
LEED v4.1 / WELL
Green building points
Photosensor-driven daylight harvesting and sun-tracking automation contribute directly to energy, glare-control, and indoor-quality credits on green building projects.
SHGC / Daylighting
Solar heat gain control
Shade positions programmed to the sun's actual path manage solar heat gain and daylighting the way the energy model assumed they would — documented for the record.

How It Runs
Six steps from the first site walk to a system that runs itself — every handoff documented.
We measure every opening ourselves and map power paths — low-voltage runs, PoE, or battery — with your electrician before anything is ordered.
Motors sized to fabric weight and drop; the control platform — Lutron, Somfy, or Crestron — matched to how the building actually runs.
Shop drawings and product data for review, then fabrication to field-verified dimensions from our San Francisco facility.
Installation sequenced with GCs, electricians, and building schedules — phased floors and after-hours crews when the project demands it.
Scenes, schedules, astronomical clocks, sensor calibration, and BMS points — commissioned on site with Title 24 documentation and HERS rater coordination.
Motor maintenance, reprogramming as tenants change, and priority response — we service what we install, for the life of the system.
