BLINDS 
Smart shades for Vancouver condos, high-rises, and homes — built locally, installed and programmed by our own crew. Hardwired or rechargeable-battery motors, app and voice control, sun-tracking automation. Works with Somfy, Lutron, and Control4. Backed by the HT Worry-Free Warranty.
Every motorized shade we build runs on one of two power systems. Which one fits depends on your building, your windows, and whether you're in new construction or retrofitting an existing Vancouver condo or home. We spec it with you.
Wired into your walls during construction or renovation. No batteries to charge or replace, and nothing visible on the window. The most reliable choice for permanent installations in Vancouver high-rises and pre-wired condo towers — and the standard for whole-home integration with Lutron or Control4.
A built-in lithium battery you recharge once or twice a year by USB. No electrical work, no wall opening — the practical retrofit for existing condos and homes in the West End, Fairview, and Mount Pleasant where rewiring isn't worth it. A single charge runs a typical shade for months.
New construction or a pre-wired tower points to hardwired. An older building or a finished space points to rechargeable battery. We assess your windows, building access, and automation goals, then recommend the right motor for each opening — not a one-size answer.
Raise the living-room shades on your way in the door. Lower the bedroom blinds for the night without getting up. HT Smart Shades work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so your shades answer to the same assistant as the rest of your home.
One app controls every motorized shade in your home — individually, by room, or all at once. Set a morning scene and an evening scene. Adjust hard-to-reach floor-to-ceiling windows from the couch. Your phone becomes the remote, and the shades stay in sync.
Set it once and stop thinking about it. Sun-tracking automation moves your shades through the day based on the actual sun position — down when the west-facing glass catches the afternoon glare, up when the light softens. It protects furniture and floors from UV and keeps Vancouver's floor-to-ceiling condos comfortable without anyone lifting a finger.
A Coal Harbour tower, a Kitsilano townhouse, and a Kerrisdale family home each ask something different of a motorized shade. We build and program for all three — and we know the buildings.
Floor-to-ceiling glass in Vancouver condos brings the view — and relentless western sun off the water. Motorized solar and blackout roller shades cut UV and glare, protect furniture and art, and handle the upper windows you can't reach by hand. Many newer Coal Harbour, Yaletown, and Olympic Village towers come pre-wired, so hardwired motors drop straight in.

Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant townhouses stack windows across two and three floors — the top ones are a stretch to reach, let alone operate. Motorized roller shades put every floor on your phone or a single wall control. Rechargeable battery motors retrofit existing townhomes with no rewiring; hardwired suits new builds.

Kerrisdale, Dunbar, and Cambie homes want privacy at street level and light control through the day without fussing with cords. Motorized zebra and roller shades tune both on a schedule — sheer by day, closed by evening — across every room from one app. Custom-built locally to heritage-size and standard openings alike.

HT Smart Shades are our umbrella term for motorized and automated shading — motorized roller shades you control by app, by voice through Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit, and by sun-tracking automation that moves the shades through the day on a schedule. In Vancouver they’re most common in floor-to-ceiling condos and on hard-to-reach upper-floor windows.
Hardwired motors are wired into the wall during construction or renovation — the most reliable choice for new builds and pre-wired Vancouver towers, with nothing to recharge. Rechargeable battery motors install on any window with no electrical work and recharge by USB once or twice a year — the practical retrofit for existing condos and homes. We recommend the right one for each window.
Yes. We build motorized roller shades that work with Somfy, Lutron, and Control4, plus voice control through Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. For homes already on a Lutron or Control4 platform, we integrate the shades into your existing whole-home system.
Yes. Rechargeable battery motors install on existing windows with no rewiring and no wall opening — the standard retrofit for finished condos and homes in the West End, Fairview, and Mount Pleasant. You recharge by USB once or twice a year, and control the shades by app or voice.
Yes. Motorized roller shades are the most practical option for Vancouver's floor-to-ceiling and high-rise windows — they handle the upper glass you can't reach by hand, and sun-tracking automation cuts the western glare off the water without anyone adjusting them. Many newer Coal Harbour, Yaletown, and Olympic Village towers come pre-wired for hardwired motors.
Cost depends on window count and size, fabric, motor type (hardwired or rechargeable battery), and the control system. We quote each project after measuring. For a faster quote, include your window count, sizes, whether the building is pre-wired, and whether you want app, voice, or sun-tracking control.
