Frequently Asked Questions
What motorized systems work best for skylights?
For sloped skylights, we recommend tension-guided motorized systems from Somfy or Lutron that keep fabric taut at any angle. For flat or low-slope skylights, standard roller motors with guided tracks work well. Solar-powered motors are ideal when hardwiring isn't feasible.
Can motorized skylight shades be integrated with smart home systems?
Yes. We integrate motorized skylight shades with Lutron RadioRA3, Somfy TaHoma, Savant, Control4, Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home. Shades can be scheduled to adjust based on time of day or sun position.
How much do motorized skylight shades cost in NYC?
Motorized skylight shades vary based on the specific requirements of your project on size, motor type, and access complexity. High-ceiling installations requiring scaffold setup are on the higher end. We provide detailed quotes after an on-site assessment.
Do you install motorized shades on sloped glass ceilings?
Yes. We specialize in tensioned motorized systems designed for angled surfaces. These use guided cables or tracks to maintain fabric tension at any slope, preventing sagging and ensuring smooth operation.
