Common Questions About Motorized Shades for Boulder Restaurants

How much do motorized shades cost for a commercial restaurant space in Boulder? Commercial motorized shade projects vary depending on the number of windows, the size of the openings, and the motor system you choose. We provide free in-home consultations and custom quotes — there is no standard pricing because every space is different. Most Boulder restaurant owners find the investment pays off quickly in energy savings and reduced HVAC load from UV control.

Can motorized shades be integrated with a smart building or restaurant POS system? Many of the motor systems we install are compatible with smart home and building automation platforms including Somfy and others. Full POS integration is less common, but scheduling automations — such as shades lowering automatically at a set time before evening service — are straightforward to program.

How long does installation take for a restaurant? Most commercial restaurant installations are completed in a single day. We schedule around your hours of operation to minimize disruption to your service, including early morning or off-hours installs when needed.

Do motorized shades require much maintenance in a commercial setting? Motorized shades are low-maintenance by design. Motors are sealed units with no exposed cords or moving parts that guests can interfere with. Routine cleaning of the shade fabric is typically all that’s required. We also stand behind our installations — if anything needs attention, we come back.

Do you install motorized shades in restaurants outside of Boulder? Yes. We serve commercial spaces throughout Boulder County, including Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Broomfield, Erie, and Superior. Call (303) 416-5997 to discuss your location.
