Beat the Acadiana Afternoon Heat, Automatically

In South Louisiana, west- and south-facing windows can turn a room into an oven by 3 p.m. Set your shades to lower before peak sun on weekdays and raise them again at sunset, even when no one’s home. Less direct sun on the glass means your AC doesn’t work as hard, which helps keep LUS, SLEMCO, and CLECO bills in check.

Reach Every Window

Control tall, high, and hard-to-reach windows at the touch of a button. Group several shades to move together, or save presets like “Morning,” “Movie,” and “Goodnight.”

Set It and Forget It

Schedule shades by time of day, or let a light sensor adjust them for you. Great for privacy at night and for protecting floors and furniture from fading.

Safer for Kids and Pets

With no cords or loops, motorized shades remove a hidden hazard in homes with young children. Learn more about child safety.
