Motorized roller shades for comfort, privacy, and heat control.
Motorized roller shades are one of the most decadent upgrades you can make to a home or commercial space.

The decadence of automated shade control
Automated shades change the way a room feels. Morning sun can open gently. Harsh afternoon heat can be managed automatically. A media room can darken without anyone leaving the couch. Offices can reduce glare during the workday. Large glass areas become more comfortable, more private, and easier to live with.
This is not just “window covering.” It is daylight control, heat control, privacy, comfort, and design working together. When shades integrate with Control4 or Loxone, they can become part of scenes like Morning, Entertain, Movie, Away, Goodnight, or a full building automation schedule.
Heat control is the biggest everyday benefit
Privacy and glare control are obvious benefits, but heat control is where motorized shades really earn their place. Large windows, west-facing rooms, glass doors, offices, and commercial spaces can become uncomfortable when the sun is uncontrolled.
The right shade fabric and automation schedule can reduce solar heat gain, protect finishes and furniture from harsh sunlight, make rooms more comfortable, and reduce the daily battle between natural light and cooling comfort.
Why professional shades beat big box store shades
Big box shades can look attractive online, but the customer takes on almost all of the risk. They have to measure every window, choose the product, place the order, hope the shades were specified correctly, remove the old shades, dispose of them, install the new shades, troubleshoot problems, and live with the result if something was measured or ordered wrong.
Orange Electric takes that liability and hassle off your hands. We measure, help specify the right product, coordinate the order, remove the old shade where included in scope, install the new system, integrate controls when needed, and make sure the finished installation works the way it should.
The key point: professional Clara and Lutron shade systems are higher quality, professionally supported, and often surprisingly close in price to what clients expect from big box options once they factor in risk, time, mistakes, installation, disposal, and automation quality.
Clara Shades: elegant, smart, and competitive
Clara Shades are a strong fit when clients want elegant motorized shades, real value, and a clean smart-home-ready solution. Clara emphasizes exceptional quality, simplicity, competitive pricing, sophisticated technology, fabric/style flexibility, and support through certified dealers.
Clara can be a great option for residential and commercial projects where the client wants motorized shade convenience without making the project feel unnecessarily complicated. Shades can be controlled individually or in groups and can integrate with broader automation systems.
Lutron shades: premium control and quiet precision
Lutron is the premium name for lighting and shading control. Lutron roller shades offer wired and wire-free options, multiple top treatments such as exposed rollers, metal fascia, fabric-wrapped fascia, and recessed pocket designs, plus a wide range of fabric choices for sheer, translucent, and blackout applications.
Lutron systems are known for whisper-quiet movement, intelligent lighting/shading integration, synchronized movement across multiple shades, location-aware automation, and deep integration with systems like RadioRA 3, HomeWorks, and other smart home platforms. For high-end homes and commercial spaces, Lutron is the specification-grade option when performance and finish matter.
Battery-powered or hardwired
Battery-powered shades are useful when wiring is difficult, the space is finished, or the client wants a cleaner retrofit path. Hardwired shades are ideal for new construction, remodels, commercial spaces, and premium installations where long-term reliability and deep automation are priorities.
Orange Electric can help choose the right power strategy based on the room, window layout, construction stage, automation goals, and long-term maintenance expectations.
Residential and commercial systems
We install shades for high-end homes, offices, commercial spaces, managed properties, large windows, glass-heavy rooms, conference rooms, restaurants, retail spaces, and any environment where heat, glare, privacy, or presentation matter.
For property managers and commercial clients, professional measurement and installation are especially important because repeatability, durability, liability, and clean finish all matter.
Automation integration
Motorized shades can integrate with Control4 and Loxone so the shades do not operate as a standalone gadget. They can work with lighting, schedules, scenes, occupancy, sunlight, energy management, privacy modes, and security routines.
That is where shades become truly luxurious: not just because they move, but because the building starts responding intelligently to light, heat, time of day, and how the space is being used.
Frequently asked questions
What brands of shades do you install?
Orange Electric installs Clara Shades and Lutron shade systems.
Are professional shades really worth it over big box shades?
Yes for most premium projects. With big box shades, the customer usually owns the measuring, ordering, installation, removal, disposal, and mistake liability. Orange Electric handles the process professionally and installs higher-quality systems that are often closer in price than clients expect once risk and labor are considered.
Are the shades battery-powered or hardwired?
Both options are available. Battery-powered shades can be a strong retrofit option, while hardwired shades are ideal for new construction, remodels, commercial spaces, and deep automation.
Do roller shades help with heat control?
Yes. Heat control is one of the biggest advantages. Properly selected fabrics and automated schedules can reduce solar heat gain and make rooms more comfortable.
Can shades integrate with automation?
Yes. Shades can integrate with Control4 and Loxone for scenes, schedules, lighting coordination, privacy modes, and automation routines.
Do you remove and dispose of old shades?
When included in the project scope, Orange Electric can remove and dispose of old shades as part of the installation process so the client is not stuck handling it themselves.
