Have a challenging project? We are your solution!
GiCor not only carries the broadest range of products but we know how to use them! Our sales team, installers & sub-contractors have been trained on all automated systems which means that we are never in over our heads on a project. That is because we have the best suppliers & have received motorized certifications from EVERY major brand including Alta shades, Aftex, Bliss automation, Gaposa Motors, Lutron shading systems, Mechoshade systems and we are also SOMFY EXPERTS. Combine this with the fact that over our 20 plus years we have completed 5000 plus window covering projects in the most amazing of spaces. From high end homes to complex commercial projects, from simple manually operated shades to motorized window covering systems that can be controlled by voice or even the position of the sun on a day-to-day basis.
And it doesn’t stop there! Working with our sister company, GiCor home technologies we can tackle even the most sophisticated projects with flawless execution. Often projects will incorporate several products and therefore several different motor technologies. By using a smart home automation platform, we can integrate ANY shading motor / technology & product regardless of how it needs to be completed. What that means for you is ONE platform for all of the window coverings in your project. Interface options include remotes & wall switches, smart phones & touch screens, sun sensors & heat sensors. BUT the best part is when your shading systems are tied into programable scenes which can be scheduled by timed events or controlled by scene switches or even voice commands. “Alexa, turn on breakfast”! Shades are positioned to allow some light to enter into the room while still providing some privacy, lights turn on to preset levels which are pleasing to the eye & your favorite playlist fills the room as you start to get ready for your day. Mid aftrenoon shades are deployed so that the temperature in your space is kept to a comfortable level by the time you get home. Dinner time & entertainment scenes can always run in the background so that your home is running predictably & efficiently so that you don’t have to worry about a thing!
Together we can make that happen!
