Custom motorized shades in Sherman Oaks

Shades in Sherman Oaks homes

South of the boulevard, toward Longridge and the hills, the newer builds and gut remodels almost all share a plan: a large open rear elevation facing the yard, often west or south-west. It is a beautiful room for four hours and an oven for the other four.

North of Ventura, the flats around Chandler Estates hold a lot of original ranch houses with steel casement or aluminium sliders. Those frames are shallow, which decides the mount before anything else does.

Heat is the defining issue. Sherman Oaks regularly runs several degrees hotter than the Westside on a summer afternoon, and the single most effective thing you can do about it is stop the sun at the glass instead of paying to cool the room afterwards.

The rear wall of glass, and what to do about it

The most common Sherman Oaks job we quote is a wide rear slider or window wall facing the yard. The answer is usually a run of motorized solar shades on a sunset schedule, so the room closes itself down before it heats rather than after someone notices.
