Motorized Shades for Lake Homes

Lake glass faces the water, which is also the sun. By mid-afternoon the great room is a glare box and the TV is a mirror. Motorized shades are how that room stays usable, and how you get privacy when a boat idles in the cove. SoulCraft installs Lutron shades and ties them to the same keypad as the lights.

Battery or wired

Battery shades go into a finished cottage without opening the wall. That fits a lot of Lake Rabun houses and any Burton house you are not renovating. Wired power is the better long-term answer when the walls are open on a new build or a gut. We look at each window and say which one it is. We do not publish a per-window price. The count, the size, and the power path are the quote.

The two lakes

Burton houses often have a taller glass wall and a longer view. Rabun cottages often have smaller openings and older trim, where a battery shade is the one that does not wreck the casing. Lighting pages: Lake Burton and Lake Rabun. The Atlanta shade page, for in-town houses, is motorized shades in Atlanta. The overview is lighting and shades.

What shades are not

They are not bug screens, and they are not a porch enclosure. Interior shades cut glare, UV, and sightlines. Exterior sun and insects are a different trade. If the theater is the room with the glare, see Lake Rabun home theater or Lake Burton home theater.
