Learn About the Wide Range of Offerings by Screen Innovations

If you’re looking for an easier way to cool your home and protect your privacy, motorized shades are a no-brainer. With a simple button tap or voice command, you can instantly open and close shades in one, several, or all the rooms of your home. What’s not to love about that?

Unfortunately, some homeowners worry that motorized shades are limited in style and application. The truth is quite the oppositeOur team works with Screen Innovations to deliver custom motorized shading solutions for our clients in Preston Hollow and the greater Dallas area. Screen Innovations has a wide range of offerings for virtually anyspace, use, style, and budget.

Read our quick guide below to help narrow down the right Screen Innovations shades for you!

Where Do You Want to Install Motorized Shades?

Screen Innovations offers motorized shading solutions for indoor windows small and large. A single cassette can handle a window as small as 18 inches wide to as big as 15 feet wide. But Screen Innovations doesn’t stop at indoor solutions. They offer outdoor shading solutions too, which may appeal to Texas homeowners who like to spend time on their patios but have to contend with pesky bugs and blistering heat in the summers. Screen Innovations’ exterior shades offer entirely sealed protection from insects and dust and help insulate your outdoor living space so you can enjoy them all year long.

Are Wired or Wireless Shades Best for Your Project?

If you’re upgrading a few rooms in your already-built home, then you may prefer wireless rechargeable shades since they don’t require wire runs throughout the home. The installation is much faster and cleaner. Plus, Screen Innovations wireless shades last 2.5 years on a single charge.

If you’re renovating the entire home or starting with a new build, then you may prefer a wired shading solution. Hardwired shades offer improved reliability and eliminate the need to recharge your shades. You can also choose a combination of wireless and wired shades depending on your project. 4

How Do You Plan to Use Your Shades?

Do you plan to use shades to darken a media room for watching movies? Are you looking for transparent shades for the kitchen that maintain sunlight but block harmful UV rays? Screen Innovations offers sunscreen, light-filtering, and blackout fabrics that meet your precise needs. You can even choose a duo shade solution, which features two types of shades on a single roller. A duo shade is perfect for rooms where you may need various amounts of natural light depending on your activity.

What’s Your Interior Design Style?

While roller shades are the most popular option, Screen Innovations also offers a motorized drapery solution. Their motorized drapes can be custom-built to fit any shaped track and come in Pinch Pleat, Ripplefold, and Accordia fabric styles. Choose from vast array of fabric colors to match your interiors.

If you prefer a more modern look, you may like Screen Innovations’ Nano Roll contemporary open roller shades, which come without a pocket or roller covering. For a more traditional look, you may choose Screen Innovations’ Nano Box or Pocket roller shades. Select from 12 beautiful hardware colors and thousands of designer fabric options.

No matter which Screen Innovations shades you choose, you’ll enjoy effortless control via a mobile app, voice control, or an on-wall keypad. You can even schedule them to adjust on their own when you integrate them with a smart home control system like Control4.
