Window treatments are more than an accessory — they’re a daily driver of comfort, privacy, and energy savings. At Precision Media Solutions, we specialize in motorized shades that move beyond ordinary blinds to create a lifestyle upgrade. With over 20 years of experience, we design and install shading systems that integrate seamlessly with your architecture, support wellness, and deliver effortless control.
Why Motorized Shades?
Manual blinds and cords often go untouched, leaving rooms vulnerable to heat gain, glare, or fading sunlight. Motorized shades transform the way you live by:
- Offering instant privacy at the press of a button
- Protecting furnishings, artwork, and flooring from damaging UV rays
- Supporting wellness with daylight management and circadian rhythm alignment
- Lowering energy use by reducing cooling in summer and conserving warmth in winter
- Enhancing convenience with one-touch control or automated schedules
- Adding value with systems designed for long-term performance and aesthetics
- They can be programmed to move with the sun throughout the day
Types of Motorized Window Treatments
Every home and every room has different needs. That’s why we design shading systems that combine form and function.
- Roller Shades – Sleek, versatile, and available in a wide range of opacities, from sheer to blackout. Perfect for modern interiors and large windows.
- Solar Shades – Reduce glare while maintaining views, using high-performance fabrics from vendors like Lutron and Insolroll. Ideal for Denver’s high-altitude sunshine.
- Blackout Shades – Essential for bedrooms, nurseries, and home theaters, creating complete darkness when needed.
- Dual Shades – Combine sheer and blackout fabrics in one system for flexible control of light and privacy.
- Cellular Shades – Add insulation value, improving energy efficiency in both summer and winter.
- Roman Shades – A softer aesthetic with tailored folds and fabric options for a more traditional or designer look.
- Skylight Shades – Motorized shading for hard-to-reach windows and angled glass surfaces.
- Outdoor Shades – Durable, weather-resistant fabrics that enclose patios, sunrooms, or outdoor living spaces, making them usable year-round.
- Motorized Drapery Tracks – Create a luxury statement with automated drapes. Homeowners can pair shades and draperies for layered light control, or choose one or the other depending on style.
Fabrics and Customization
Motorized shades aren’t one-size-fits-all. Fabric selection is one of the most important design choices in the project.
- Solar Fabrics (Lutron and Insolroll) – Engineered to reduce glare and heat without blocking your views. Perfect for large windows, glass walls, and sun-drenched rooms.
- Designer Fabrics (Hartmann & Forbes and others) – Handcrafted, woven textiles that bring warmth and sophistication. These custom options transform shades from a utility into a design feature.
- Blackout and Room-Darkening Fabrics – Block light completely, ideal for media rooms and bedrooms.
- Performance Fabrics – UV-resistant, easy-to-clean materials that combine durability with elegance.
Our role is to guide homeowners, architects, and designers through these choices so the shading system enhances the home’s overall design rather than competing with it.
Integration with Lighting and Control Systems
Motorized shades can stand alone, but they shine when integrated into a broader control strategy. We program systems so:
- Shades adjust automatically with the sun’s position throughout the day
- One button lowers every shade in the home at night for instant privacy
- “Good Morning” and “Good Night” scenes coordinate shades with lighting and audio
- Outdoor shades drop in sync with exterior lighting for an evening entertainment mode
- Homeowners can manage shades through wall keypads, mobile apps, or automation platforms
New Construction vs. Existing Homes
Shading solutions can be tailored for any project type.
- New Construction or Remodels – Hardwired systems with in-wall power and control wiring offer maximum reliability and clean integration.
- Existing Homes – Battery-powered shades eliminate the need for rewiring, with long-life batteries that require minimal maintenance.
This flexibility allows us to provide shading solutions to any home, whether it’s being built, remodeled, or retrofitted.
