Automated Blinds & Smart Shading Solutions

Automated blinds are more than just a luxury—they provide convenience, energy efficiency, privacy, and seamless integration with your smart home. Whether you want to wake up naturally with scheduled blinds, reduce glare in a home cinema, or improve security when you're away, we design and install bespoke smart shading solutions to fit your lifestyle.

At 1install, we work with Crestron, Lutron, and Qmotion, three of the most reliable and advanced shading brands. Each offers unique benefits, and we help you choose the right system based on your needs, not just what’s easiest to sell.

Why Choose Automated Blinds?

Automated blinds allow you to control natural light effortlessly while enhancing your home’s energy efficiency and security.

Convenience – Open, close, or adjust your blinds at the touch of a button or via voice control.
Smart Integration – Works seamlessly with Control4, Crestron, Lutron, and other home automation systems.
Energy Efficiency – Reduce heating and cooling costs by controlling heat gain and loss through windows.
Privacy & Security – Schedule blinds to open and close when you're away, creating the appearance of an occupied home.
Custom Scenes – Set blinds to adjust automatically at sunrise, sunset, or with your lighting preferences.

Whether you need a single window treatment or a whole-home automated shading system, we offer tailored solutions that fit your space, style, and control preferences.
