TODAY’S STANDARD

In today’s world, everything is becoming automated and easy to use.  Why not do the same with your Window Coverings?  Automated Window Coverings allow you to get the most out of your view without having to do anything. Whether it’s a view of a garden, pool, ocean, or mountains, automated window coverings give you the option of always bringing the outside indoors.  Here are some of the many benefits of Automation:

Elegance and Ambiance: Have the opportunity to add that extra elegance, class, and ambiance of your home with the beauty and luxury of automated window coverings

Energy Efficiency: We utilize our motorized climate control system to maximize energy efficiency in every home and office space. You can utilize their shading system to save on energy costs with settings like “Winter Warm,” which takes advantage of warm sunlight, and “Summer Cool,” which blocks solar heat.  We have the perfect solutions for you that look beautiful, and save you money!

Sun Protection: Automated shades increase UV protection, and protect your beautiful valuables, furnishings, and floors from sun damage.

Ease of Use: You can raise, lower, or tilt the motorized window coverings with the simple touch of a button.  

Increased Life: Automated shades eliminate any pulling and tugging usually associated with manual shades, and therefore helps increase the lifespan of window coverings.

Convenience: We utilize timers, sensors, and GPS daylight tracking controls, which allows your automated shades to be operated from almost any location… whether you’re home or away, you can control your window coverings with simplicity and ease.

Security:  Features like Automatic Programming provide additional protection by making a home appear occupied. Set the system to “Away,” and your shades will close, restricting the view inside.

Control:  You have the ability to control multiple automated shades with one simple button, by using a whole-home shading system for simultaneous control of all shades.

Safety:  A motorized system eliminates the need for dangling cords, which can be hazardous to small children.

SKYLIGHTS

Window Collections are experts in window treatments for skylights!  We offer multiple solutions for skylight applications using sunscreen fabrics, translucent privacy fabrics, blackout fabrics, or even pleated shade options.  Below are just a few options:

The G-Rail Wintergarden System by Goelst features the benefits of a strong motor with low voltage motorization technology and silent operation. It can be a stand-alone system or integrated into home automation systems with multiple control options. It is suitable for horizontal, curved, and sloping situations.

The Fabric Tension Dual Motor System by Skyco can be used for angled openings and utilizes tension cables. The Bottom Up Motorized Systems by Skyco are available for use with triangle or trapezoid shaped openings.

Skystar by Castec is for skylights that are flat and rectangular. The system can use a flat shade or a folding shade. Trackstar is an alternate solution for treating curved windows and is typically used in solariums and greenhouses. A Trackstar shade is lifted from the bottom, creating the same stack of a soft fold shade as it travels along guide tracks.
