Three Hunter Douglas lines planned from framing in a downtown Castle Rock custom home

Overview

The best custom-home projects start before the drywall goes up, and this one started just after framing.

Working with the builder and the homeowners that early meant motorization could be planned properly, wiring run where it was needed, and every shade placed so it looks designed into the house, because it was.

What the homeowners wanted

Designer Roller Shades for a clean line

Where the owners wanted a simple, contemporary look, roller shades keep the attention on the architecture. The fabric range let us match finishes and pick the right level of light filtering for each room.

Duette® honeycomb shades where insulation matters

Duette's cells trap air at the glass. Large windows bring in light and views, but they also gain heat in summer and lose it in winter, so this house got Duette where comfort mattered most.

Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman shades for warmth

In the rooms that called for more, woven Roman shades add natural texture and depth that a flat roller cannot. Here the shades are part of the interior design, not just a way to control light.

Planning motorization before the walls closed

Because we were in right after framing, we could decide where each motorized shade would go, run the wiring before drywall, coordinate locations with the builder, and catch clearance problems while they were still easy to fix.

The shades did not take six months to make. The longer timeline simply followed the build, so each step happened at the right stage.
