Other sites wanted extra for the motor and extra for the remote. That math got old. These were straightforward. Andrew stayed with me while I measured the slider. First window slow, second one about 15 minutes. I can see outside and the TV is watchable. That is all I needed the money to do.
West glass was the expensive problem. In-home shade quote for that wall alone was over $2200. I sent Sam a photo at 3pm and he told me which openness to pick so I would keep the view. Glare is gone. Heat dropped. I hung both in an afternoon. Easy to use after that. The savings paid for the remote I thought I would have to add later. It was already included.
Good shades and the savings versus the in-home bid were real. Only ding is I needed Jacob to restate the pairing steps because the paper sheet is thin. Once that was done, easy. View is still there.
the west windows were making the tv impossible and the floor hot and I was this close to booking the installer after he left his card then I saw the number and came here instead and Andrew told me which openness to pick so I would still see out and I can still see out and the glare is gone and I use alexa in the afternoon like I have always had them I dont even think about it
Heat through the west glass was cooking the floorboards. I was tired of that being the personality of the room. Hung these on a Saturday, first one slow, next one about 15 minutes. You can still see outside. Floor is not a stove. Alexa handles mornings. If they fail I will come back. They have not.
Solid hardware. I keep saying that because I was ready for thin metal. Sister had shades installed for about twice this and I helped her dust them last weekend. Ours feel just as nice, if not nicer on the motor housing.
The deal was that my wife would not lose the view. Glare on the TV had to go too. These did both. West sun is usable which has not been true in this house since we moved in. Sam helped pick the openness after I sent a photo of the window at 3pm. Motor is quiet. I grouped the pair so they drop together and I use that more than I thought I would
