Bring Beauty and Effortless Living to Your Home with J Geiger’s Inception Shades

Manually operated window coverings offer beauty, privacy, and the ability to control natural light. Unfortunately, there’s a downside to them. They are inconvenient to operate, requiring you to raise and lower them throughout the day as the sun’s glare catches your TV screen or its rays heat up your home. In response, most people tend to leave them lowered for much of the day, missing out on the many benefits and beauty of natural light. 

Motorized shades provide the solution. Now, your shades automatically raise and lower throughout the day, letting in just enough diffuse sunlight. One tap on a touchscreen, in-wall keypad, or remote, and you can raise or lower any shade in any room or throughout your Charlotte, NC, home. 

While growing in popularity, one has to wonder why everyone isn’t taking advantage of this remarkable technology. Let’s explore the reasons and the solutions.
