San Clemente’s coastal charm comes with perks—breathtaking ocean views, warm breezes, and lots of sunshine. However, for one homeowner, those sunny benefits began to become drawbacks. Without proper window protection, the natural light led to increased heat gain and UV damage indoors. Their goal? Maintain the view while reducing glare.
The homeowner needed something that wouldn’t obstruct their panoramic view of the Pacific but would still help protect their furnishings, improve comfort, and offer ease of control throughout the day. Opening Act Window Fashions stepped in to help them reach their goal.
What We Did for the Project
After an in-depth consultation and site review, we recommended motorized solar roller shades with hardwire motorization—a high-performance solution that checked every box.
We also utilized the home’s existing low-voltage wiring from the previous motorized setup, allowing for a clean integration of the new system without the need for invasive electrical work.
From removal of the outdated blinds to selecting the ideal materials for the new shades, our team provided hands-on guidance throughout the process. The homeowners appreciated the efficient timeline and the ease of working with our knowledgeable experts.
Features and Benefits:
- Solar roller shade fabric: Maintains visibility while reducing solar heat and UV damage.
- Somfy hardwired motorization: Delivers quiet, reliable operation with enhanced longevity.
- Seamless wall switch and smart home compatibility: Future-ready comfort.
- Hardwired system using existing wiring: Saved cost and avoided unnecessary rewiring.
