Motorized Shades
The Right Light, Without Lifting a Finger
Direct sun through a window can fade hardwood floors, heat a room past comfortable, and turn an evening movie into a battle with glare on the screen. Motorized shades solve that without asking you to get up, walk over, and manually adjust a wand or cord every time the sun moves.
Cloud 9 designs and installs automated shading systems that protect your interiors, manage heat gain, and give every window a level of polish that manual shades can’t match.
From Blackout to Sheer, All in One System
Different windows call for different fabrics, and your control system should handle all of them the same way.
Pair blackout shades in the media room with sheers in the living room and solar screens on south-facing windows, then control every one of them from a wall keypad, your phone, a touchscreen, or your voice. Group them by room, by fabric type, or by however you actually use the space.
No more remembering which remote goes with which window.
Motorized Shades, Positioned by the Sun
A timer tells your shades to move at 3:00 PM. The sun doesn’t care what time it is.
We program shades to respond to actual sun position and outdoor light levels, not a fixed schedule, so a shade lowers when glare hits your TV or when direct sun starts heating a west-facing room, regardless of the season or the day’s weather.
Your home reacts to real conditions, not a guess made months in advance.
One Touch, Every Window
You shouldn’t need to raise ten shades individually to open up a room.
Build scenes that raise every shade in the living area for a bright afternoon, lower them for movie night, or close just the bedroom shades at bedtime while leaving the rest of the house untouched. Save the combinations you actually use and trigger them from a keypad or an app.
Every window does its part with a single tap.
Connected With Your Home
A shade that only knows how to go up and down is missing half its value.
We link your shading system to lighting, climate control, and entertainment, so lowering the shades for a movie can also dim the lights and mute notifications, or closing them on a hot afternoon can ease the load on your air conditioning.
One decision moves the whole house, not just the window.
Fabrics, Colors, and Styles for Every Room
We work with homeowners, architects, and interior designers to source shading that fits the room, not just the window opening. Sheers, solar screens, blackout fabrics, and specialty options are available in a range of colors and textures for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, and oversized or oddly shaped windows.
The result looks like a design choice first and a smart home feature second.
Motorized Shades FAQs
What are motorized shades and how do they work?
Motorized shades use a small battery-powered or hardwired motor built into the shade housing, controlled through a keypad, app, or voice assistant, to raise, lower, or tilt the shade without a cord or wand. They can run individually or as part of scheduled and scene-based routines.
How much do motorized shades cost?
Cost depends on the number of windows, shade type, fabric, and the level of automation involved, so pricing varies from home to home. We’ll walk your space and put together a proposal based on your specific windows and goals.
Can motorized shades be added to existing windows and homes?
Yes. Motorized shades can be retrofitted into most existing homes, not just new construction, and can be wired or run on battery power depending on the window and the space.
Do motorized shades work with voice assistants?
Yes. Motorized shades can be controlled by voice, along with wall keypads, a touchscreen, or a smartphone app, and can be grouped into scenes that respond to a single command.
Are motorized shades energy efficient?
Yes. By blocking direct sun and reducing solar heat gain during warmer months, motorized shades can lower the strain on your air conditioning and help maintain a more consistent indoor temperature.
