building tomorrow's home today

Home Technology Group recently completed a multi-room shade installation in a condominium in Birmingham, AL. It uses both light limiting sheer shades and room darkening blackout shades from Lutron.

Many people forget that light control also includes controlling natural light. This condominium has whole walls of glass and receives a great deal of sunlight in the afternoons. The homeowners needed to limit the heat gain from the sunlight , especially in the summer months. We used Lutron Sheershade fabric for this purpose.

The homeowners also needed to be able to completely darken their bedroom during the day because their work hours at the hospital sometimes requires sleeping during the day. In the master bedroom, we installed not only the Sheershades but also a second shade at each window using Lutron's Premium Blackout fabric. With the addition of Lutron's side channels, the room will be pitch dark even at 3:00 pm in the afternoon.
