As an Architect or Designer you are asked to work on projects that require window coverings with automation. How do you write the specifications for motorization? Do you simply just write motorized shades and hope the contractor and/or the electrician will be able to figure out the system? Do you simply cut and paste specs from a website? When this happens large gaps are created that usually spell trouble for everyone – Leaving the owner upset with unforeseen extra costs.
Where does the power supply for the shades go? What about the controls? Are they wired or wireless? Is there fascia or headbox? What is the openness of the fabric weave, the color? What happens when the shades meet in the corner? How do you calculate the impact of the window coverings on the heating and air conditioning loads. Are your window coverings LEED eligible?
These are just a few everyday questions that come up once the project gets into the hands of the contractor. But there’s a better way. Imagine a project where the specs written for the window coverings are totally thought out and complete. The wiring diagrams are accurate. The shade controls are thought through. The installation is properly described. All of the fabrics are selected. This is now possible with the InSync Designer from DWF Contract.
