The Ultimate Confluence of Design and Technology

You and your North Carolina clients understand the luxury and convenience that motorized window treatments bring to a home. While today’s motorized options are anything but bulky, sometimes an even sleeker, more integrated look is called for. Maybe it’s for a picture window that reveals a spectacular view of Lake Norman, or an ultramodern wall of windows in a luxury Uptown Charlotte high-rise with an amazing city view. Regardless of the reason, there’s a way to maximize the window view.

Concealed motorized blinds, skylights, and curtain tracks from Blindspace enable you to make the most of every window, offering automated window treatments that virtually disappear into walls and ceilings. As a designer, you'll love the flexibility afforded by this solution to implement your and your clients' design vision without encumbrances.

Spouse and Child-Approved Whole Home Audio for the Family

Once upon a time, audio was fairly simple. You turned on the radio, tuned a station, and adjusted the volume. Or perhaps you put a record on the turntable, pressed a button, and the arm lowered to play the music. While those simple pleasures can still be had, it seems like the digital age has brought more complexity to the listening experience. Now, it’s Pandora or Tidal? TuneIn for radio? How do I get the speakers in the living room to play?

Granted, we have far more capable audio systems today. And if you have a Control4 whole-house audio setup, you have a world of sound at your beck and call. However, the trouble is that some whole-home sound systems can be a little complicated to use. We know of a few people who would rather listen on a Bluetooth speaker (gasp!) because the fancy whole-home system is just a bit too hard to fathom.

Control4, the smart home company, set out to change all that. With the latest Control4 OS 3, they reimagined how a whole-house audio system should operate – in other words, they designed it for actual humans! Read on to see just how easy a house-wide audio system in your Charlotte, NC abode can be with Contro4.
