Shades That Know the Sun
Your great room was designed around the windows. Two-story glass, a wall of light, a view worth looking at. Then the August sun arrives and quietly bleaches the floor, fades the artwork, and bullies the air conditioner. TruDefinition installs J Geiger and Savant motorized shades across Southlake that handle the sun on your behalf — without ever stealing the view.
Single rooms or every window in the house. Carillon, Estes Park, Coventry Manor — each project measured by hand, fabric matched to the palette of the room, and integrated with your lighting and automation so the shades move in concert with everything else. A whole wall of glass, handled at once.

The Questions People Actually Ask.
Can motorized shades be added to my existing Southlake home without running new wires?
Yes. Savant motorized shades Triathlon shades run on battery — five-year life — and talk wirelessly to your automation system. No new wiring. Ideal for a finished home you do not want to open up.
How do you handle two-story windows in Southlake great rooms?
Extended roller shades or Savant motorized shades, custom-built for the height. Specialty equipment for the high-mount work. If your builder needs a fascia pocket for concealment, we coordinate that early.
Can shades automatically adjust based on the sun's position?
Yes. With Savant integration, west-facing shades drop in the late afternoon, raise as the sun sets — and you never lift a finger. The great room stays cool through the worst of the day.
What fabric opacity do you recommend for bedrooms versus living areas?
Room-darkening or blackout in the master and the kids' rooms. Light-filtering for living rooms and kitchens — the view stays, the glare goes. Sheers where privacy is the only ask.
