Shading We Install

Roller & Screen Shades

Quiet, motorised roller and solar screen shades on QMotion and Somfy systems — tucked into a pelmet or left on show as a design feature.

Roman & Cellular Blinds

Soft Roman folds and energy-efficient cellular shades, motorised for one-touch or scheduled operation from a keypad or app.

Curtain & Drapery Tracks

Silent Gliss motorised curtain tracks bring full-length drapery under the same one-touch control as your shades and lighting.

Whole-Home & Scene Integration

Every shade is brought onto the same keypads, app and voice control as your lighting, on platforms like Lutron and Crestron Home.

Brands We Work With

We fit and integrate motorised shading from QMotion, Lutron, Somfy and Silent Gliss, choosing the right platform for your fabric, window size and budget. Every shade is set up to work alongside your existing lighting and control system, whether that's Lutron, Rako or Crestron Home.

From whisper-quiet QMotion tubular motors to Silent Gliss's precision curtain tracks, we spec each system around the room — not the other way around — so shades open and close exactly on cue with your lighting scenes.

One Touch, Every Window

The best shading systems disappear into daily life — blinds that lower themselves at dusk, a single keypad press for "movie night" that dims the lights and closes every shade in the room. We design every installation around how you actually use the space, using proven, professional-grade motors and tracks built to run quietly for years, not battery-powered gadgets that need constant attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you retrofit motorised shades into an existing house?

Yes — most of our shade installations are retrofitted into existing homes across Scotland, using battery or hardwired QMotion, Lutron and Somfy motors that fit standard window recesses.

Will the shades work with my existing lighting system?

In almost every case, yes. We integrate QMotion, Lutron, Somfy and Silent Gliss shades with Lutron, Rako and Crestron Home lighting systems so everything runs from the same keypads, app and scenes.

Will the shades still work if the internet goes down?

Yes — core functions like keypad control and scheduled scenes run locally, so your shades keep working even if your internet connection drops.
