Are client photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets GDPR, CCPA, or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Can the preview show the difference between sheer, light-filtering, and blackout fabric on the same window?

Yes. Sheer, light-filtering, and blackout each behave differently in real daylight, and a physical swatch card doesn't show that at window scale. The preview renders the fabric's actual opacity in the room's real light, so clients can compare privacy and light control before choosing.

Will the preview show how bulky the headrail or cassette looks against my trim?

Yes. The AI renders the actual cassette or headrail style you're quoting — fabric-wrapped cassette, low-profile roller housing, or exposed tube — against the client's real window trim and wall color. That answers the "will I see the mechanism" question before it becomes a reason to walk on the higher price point.

Does it work for bay windows, arched windows, and oversized sliding doors?

Yes. The AI adapts to the window's actual geometry — bay configurations, arched tops, corner windows, and oversized sliding door tracks all render correctly, including how multiple shades or a continuous headrail line up across an angled bay.

Does the preview change based on motor brand — Somfy versus Lutron versus a manufacturer's proprietary motor?

No. Motor brand doesn't change the visual. Somfy, Lutron, and proprietary systems like PowerView all sit inside the same headrail housing, so the preview looks the same regardless of which motor you're quoting. What changes the look is the headrail profile, mount type, and fabric — that's what the preview renders.

How does this compare to leaving a fabric sample at the client's home overnight?

A physical sample shows color and texture accurately but tells the client nothing about scale, headrail appearance, or how the shade reads across their whole window — and it costs you a second visit to collect it. The preview does both in one visit: true-to-fabric color plus the full-window, full-scale result, with no follow-up trip needed to close the order.

Can I show the cordless, wire-free look for households with kids or pets?

Yes. If cordless, wire-free operation is part of the pitch — for a nursery, playroom, or pet-owner household — the preview can show the clean look with no cords, chains, or wands. That's often the detail that moves a safety-conscious parent from manual to motorized in the first place.

What is a motorized shade preview preview?

A motorized shade preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a room with automated shades installed in the client's chosen fabric, opacity, and headrail style. The dealer photographs the actual window during the in-home measure or showroom consult, and the tool renders the shade raised, lowered, and in the selected color — on the client's real window and trim, not a fabric swatch or manufacturer catalog shot. Window treatment dealers and interior designers use this to justify the price jump from manual to motorized and close the order before the client shops it against a big-box quote.

Why it matters

Motorized shades typically run $700–$2,500+ per window installed depending on width, fabric, and motor — Somfy, Lutron, or a manufacturer-proprietary system like Hunter Douglas PowerView — against $200–$600 for the manual version of the same shade. That premium is easy to justify in person and hard to justify over the phone, which is exactly when clients go quote-shopping against online sellers with no motor. The decision also rarely closes with one signature: it usually needs a second decision-maker who wasn't in the room for the pitch, and the sales cycle stretches while that conversation happens without a visual to carry it. A preview that shows the actual fabric, color, and headrail against their trim converts "let me talk to my spouse" into a photo they can text.

Who uses this

Custom window treatment dealers — Hunter Douglas Gallery locations, franchise showrooms like Budget Blinds, independent workrooms — presenting during in-home measure visits. Interior designers specifying whole-home shade packages as part of a larger renovation or new-build. Smart home integrators bundling motorized shades into a broader automation quote alongside lighting and thermostats. Showroom sales staff working walk-in traffic who need to close before the visitor leaves to "compare it to Amazon."

Heard this from a client?

They hold a 3-inch fabric swatch next to a motor spec sheet and say "I still can't picture what this looks like on my actual window."

They see the price gap between the manual version and the motorized one and ask "why is this shade three times the cost of the one next door," then leave to get more quotes.

They worry the headrail will look like "a chunky box" sitting on top of their trim and won't commit until they can see it against their own window, not a catalog photo.

How motorized shade preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the window during the visit

Any window, any light — bay, arched, sliding door. Shot on a phone during the in-home measure or a showroom walk-in, no special camera required.

AI renders the shade in their exact spec

The model applies the client's chosen fabric, opacity, color, and headrail or cassette style to their real window, showing it both raised and lowered.

Present it before you write the order

Their own window, dressed. The conversation moves from "why does motorized cost more" to picking a control option.
