Motorized Dual Shades with Blackout System
Our installation of motorized dual shades combined with a blackout system offers an ideal solution for the training room facilities at a high-end plumbing and fixture manufacturer here in Wisconsin. This specialized system addresses the requirement of needing both controlled natural light for training sessions and complete darkness for video presentations. The dual-shade setup features a solar screen shade layer, which utilizes varying openness factors to effectively manage glare, reduce heat, and maintain an exterior. Behind this is the blackout shade layer, which, when deployed, completely blocks exterior light, ensuring optimum conditions for video conferencing or product demonstrations.
The choice of motorized operation is critical in a modern corporate setting, particularly for large windows common in training environments. Manual operation of numerous large shades would be time-consuming and disruptive. Motorized systems solve this by allowing large groups of shades to be raised or lowered simultaneously with the push of a single button or via a centralized control system. Furthermore, these systems can be seamlessly integrated with the room's lighting and audio/visual (A/V) equipment to create predefined "room scenes." Motorization also inherently increases energy efficiency through the use of sun-sensor controls, which can automatically adjust the shades to eliminate direct solar heat and glare, protecting interior furnishings and reducing HVAC load.
This motorized shade system is a powerful tool for enhancing the learning experience. During standard training sessions, the solar screen shades prevent screen glare on monitors and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. When the training shifts to showcasing detailed product videos or design specifications, the blackout shades provide the required darkness to ensure vibrant, high-contrast imagery on projection screens. This ability to instantly switch between filtered daylight and total darkness makes the dual-shade system invaluable, all while providing a sleek, cord-free aesthetic that aligns with the manufacturer's commitment to sophisticated design and safety.
