Let A Professional Install Your New Motorized Shades Solution

Installing and programming automated shades can be trickier than you think — let a professional give you a helping hand

So you’re finally ready to replace all the manual window shades in your Lafayette, LA, home with smart, motorized shades. Automated window treatments are easy to use and control — with a single button press on your smartphone or keypad, you can operate shades room-by-room or throughout your whole house. Or you can automate your shades to rise and lower in tune with the rising and setting sun for touchless convenience.

But before you can enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of automated window treatments, you need to install them in your home, a project that can quickly become overwhelming and dangerous if you have hard-to-reach windows that require a ladder to access. Keep reading to learn three reasons why you should leave the installation to a professional.

Unusual Window Installations

Window shades are complicated enough to install over standard windows — now imagine installing shades over the floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining room or the series of arch top windows high along the wall in the living room. Not only do unusual windows require a more intensive setup, custom covering shapes and sizes are also much more difficult to find without a professional’s guidance.

Our technicians at Electronics Professionals have experience installing treatments over windows of all shapes — full round, half-round, extended half-round, square, rectangle, arch top, trapezoid, triangle, isosceles triangle, and other specialty shapes. Our techs can also manage windows of all sizes, ensuring a safer and smoother installation process.   

Interior Design Considerations

Window shades significantly impact the appearance of a room. When you invest in motorized shades, there are hundreds of different styles, fabric, and color options to choose from. Most homeowners make the choice in order to match the room’s décor and the goals you have for your space. A professional integrator can make recommendations based on the purpose and aesthetic of each room.

For example, you may want blackout shades in the bedrooms and home theater so that you can experience complete darkness for sleeping or watching movies. Sheer shades in the kitchen let in soft, filtered natural light while concealing your interior from prying eyes outside. Solar shades in the living room reduce solar heat gain and UV penetration while still letting in filtered natural light. Whatever your needs or personal preferences are, the Electronics Professionals team can help you find the right window treatments.   

Integration and Automation

Streamlined, one-touch, automated control is what makes motorized shades worth your while. Our team will install and program your shades so that you can raise and lower them with one touch on a smartphone or keypad. Or you can set schedules for shades to raise and lower automatically at preset times. If you already have home automation, our technicians will integrate window shades with your existing smart home, enabling you to access and control home entertainment, lighting, security, climate, and window treatments all in one place.
