With Great Sun Come Great Shades

Let Launch Systems Find the Perfect Lutron Motorized Shades for Your Home. 

California is a beautiful, sunny state. On hot summer afternoons, it is hard not to squint outdoors or even inside if you don’t have efficient window treatments. Similarly, keeping your home comfortable and cozy during the winter is much harder without the proper shading solutions. The importance of adding the best motorized shades to your home is undeniable, especially since they help with privacy and climate control. With dozens of window treatment options to choose from, it is difficult to pick the right brand and products. For smart shades, the issues of programming, installation, and integration with other technology systems also come into play.  At Launch Systems, we will help you pick the perfect motorized shades for your home in Newport Beach, CA, and design, install, and automate your window treatments for optimal performance. To start, we recommend Lutron, the leading name in lighting control and smart shading systems and one of our trusted brand partners.  Here is a brief review of Lutron’s top-selling motorized shades to help you pick the best solutions for your smart home.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are your first option when looking for motorized window treatments, and as their name indicates, they roll up and down at the tap of a smart interface. Depending on the type of fabric you pick, the benefits of your smart shades will range from privacy to climate control and beyond. For example, sheer roller shades are see-through but still protect from UV rays. On the other hand, dim-out sheers give you added privacy, and blackout fabrics are 100% opaque.  Lutron’s Roman shades allow you to work with your own materials. So, if you have the fabric pattern to go with your home theater wallpaper, why not use it on the windows there? You will get the perfect look and still reap the benefits of Lutron technology!  If you would like to try motorized shades before venturing into a more significant investment, Lutron also offers solutions for every budget. From their battery-powered Serena shades to the top-of-the-line Palladium family, we can help you find the right product for your smart home. 

Tensioned & Cable-Guided Shades 

In all of our years in the market, the expert team at Launch Systems has found many windows in odd or hard-to-reach spaces. Is this the case in your home? No worries, we have the experience to install smart shades there as well! For angled windows and skylights, we rely on Lutron’s tensioned shades. They minimize sag and use intelligent hembar alignment technology to synchronize with other shades in your home. In areas with high-wind conditions, Lutron’s cable-guided shades prevent unwanted motion and potential damage to glass surfaces.   There is a lot to consider when picking the right window treatments for your smart home, but we are just a screen tap away and always ready to help.

Enhance Your Home Beauty With Lutron Lights

Home lighting is extremely important. How a space is lit impacts how welcoming it feels and can even influence if you feel relaxed or energized. Traditional lighting solutions aren’t really adaptable and may not be able to provide the lighting your home needs and deserves. That’s why many homeowners use smart lighting systems for increased control and customization.

Lutron lighting systems are some of the best lighting control systems on the market. They allow homeowners to tune their lights and have total control over them. That way, your home is always lit exactly how you like. Discover what Lutron can do for your home in Coto De Caza, CA.

Your lighting system installation will include in-wall keypads and touchpads that will allow you to easily turn your lights on and off, as well as adjust the brightness, tone, etc. But you’ll also be able to control them right from your phone. You can download the Lutron Homeworks app and turn on lights, adjust them, and create preset scenes. So if you forget to turn off the upstairs lights before you leave for work, it’s no problem. Just go to the HomeWorks app and turn it off from there.

Lutron lights also work with a variety of smart home automation platforms. So you’ll be able to control your lights from the same dashboard you use to control the rest of your smart home tech.

Architectural High-End Speakers Offer Invisible High-Fidelity Sound

Bring High-Performance Audio to Every Room in Your Home

For some music lovers, the mention of high-end speakers brings a dedicated listening room to mind. They hear the sound field—the guitar riffs off to the right, the vocalist in the center of the stage, and every note of the piano. They imagine sitting in upholstered seating, acoustic treatments dampening the sound reflection, and high-fidelity speakers taking them to the front seat of a live concert. 

Many of our clients, however, want something a bit different. They want to incorporate high-end audio into their daily lives, when walking into their homes, sitting on the patio, or watching their favorite movie. Unfortunately, high-performance tower loudspeakers don’t always work well in these settings, detracting from a home’s design and marring its aesthetics.

The good news is that today’s manufacturers heard the call for high-end architectural speakers and answered. Today, you can experience the immersive sound field throughout your home, in your home theater, the living room, and even out into your yard in Huntington Beach, CA, and Orange County. Let's find out how.

The Ultimate Home Theater

Many of you have probably heard of James Loudspeaker. Founded in 1999 in San Francisco, where the company started in the tower loudspeaker arena, they quickly established themselves as innovators and made several "firsts" in architectural speaker design and use. In 2019, they were acquired by Sonance, the inventor of the architectural and invisible speaker category.
