Some of the biggest challenges in deploying smart shading comes from the absurd shapes and sizes windows can take on, especially in luxury homes, where deluxe, oversized windows seem almost mandatory. Entering into picture is Clara Shades, a smart window treatment manufacturer planning to show off its own unique solutions for oversized windows at this year’s CEDIA Expo.

Introduced as its Extra Wide Smart Shades technology, the motor that helps power the shades offers greater motor torque for smooth and reliable operation even when dealing with the massive amount of material required to cover larger windows. However, while the functionality itself is great, the company is quick to point out the pricing of the product, which Clara Shades states is to help keep integrators competitive as these larger installations become more the norm in both residential and commercial.

At the end of the day, the company says, it doesn’t want integrators to have to sacrifice quality or profitability in order to win a bid.

Additionally, while at the show, Clara Shades is unveiling a new line of durable outdoor shades. Engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, these shades provide privacy and comfort in outdoor spaces, making them ideal for both residential and commercial properties. The advanced fabric-tensioning technology and reinforced hardware ensure long-term performance, allowing dealers to offer reliable shading solutions that meet the highest standards of durability.
