Motorized shades/motorized roller shades are a type of electric window covering which is utilized to block light from entering the room. The shades are designed to be convenient and can be used in an interior setting where the operator can flip a switch or push a button on a remote, which will cause the shade to either descend or ascend to the operator’s preferred location.
Shades can be a great solution to protect against heat, sun glare, and UV rays. Shades are available for either small buildings or large-scale facilities and come in a variety of fabrics and colors to meet your aesthetic. Customers can decide between shades that are transparent, opaque, or somewhere in between. Motorized shade options are the perfect solution to airport terminals, sporting arenas, restaurants, and other large venues.
