Shading Systems
Window Treatments - Modern, Intuitive & Refined
How you dress your windows defines the tone of a space. Thoughtfully selected shades provide a clean, architectural foundation that complements both modern and traditional interiors. Whether framed within the window or layered with drapery, shades offer a refined backdrop that allows the design of the room to take center stage.
From roller and honeycomb shades to wood blinds and tailored drapery, each solution can either make a statement or quietly support the surrounding furnishings. Beyond aesthetics, window treatments play a critical role in managing natural light, preserving privacy, and protecting interiors from UV exposure—while also improving comfort and energy efficiency.
With timeless appeal and purposeful design, window shades are an essential element of a well-formed home.
Window treatments are more than a finishing touch—they are an investment in both comfort and value. With a wide range of materials, styles, and control options available, the right solution enhances daily living while elevating the overall design of the home.
At Forma AVL, we help guide these decisions with intention, ensuring each space is shaped by technology in perfect form.
Light Management
Blackout to Light Filtering
A healthy environment includes natural light. Just like your home’s lighting system, however, you need to be able to control it. From simple light filtering, to room darkening, to total blackout — many options are available to help manage the amount of sunlight a space receives. Shades can be programmed to follow the sun’s path at your home, and specific shades can open and close throughout the day, controlling heat, glare, and UV penetration.
Control & Automation
Follow The Sun With Automation
Motorized shades and drapes can be operated by a local remote, adding ease and automation to your space. With the proper infrastructure in place, shades can be integrated into your home automation system. By adding smart control for your shades, you are able to remotely access your shades from your phone or tablet with ease.
Energy Savings & UV Light Protection
Protect Your Furnishings From UV Light
Windows allow sunshine into your home, thereby enabling heat to permeate its interior. This can cause higher utility bills in the warmer months. Good window shades help with cooling and heating your home, resulting in lower energy costs. Roller shades and other custom treatments allow you to manage this issue. Window treatments also add additional protection for your furniture, helping to block out UV light and preventing harmful rays from discoloring and breaking down flooring and furnishings. By combining proper programming to your home control system, shades can be raised and lowered automatically throughout the day.
Privacy
Keep Prying Eyes From Seeing In
Shades provide something that everyone wants in their home — privacy. The amount of privacy you have will depend on the shade’s fabric, color, the weave's openness, and opacity. Some rooms require complete privacy while others need only a lightly obstructed view. Understanding how shades look from both the inside and the outside of your home is key in selecting the right fabric for your needs.
Safety & Security
An Extra Layer of Security
Shades provide an extra layer of security and safety to your home and business. They provide a visual barrier that helps hide both contents and occupancy. Pair them with lighting control and your smart home system can be programmed to simulate occupancy. Motorized shades are cordless, which makes them one of the safest window treatments available.
