I installed my own via Select Blinds. I recently installed a 3 roller blind setup for my sliding doors. They look great and they were simply for me to install. Full disclosure...I am pretty handy and have tools to do this. The most challenging thing was making 100% sure the measurements were dead on. My only advice for DIY is to take whatever measurement you come up with and reduce the overall length by 1/8th of an inch...this is when considering the full length of the window frame (do not reduce the length of each roller blind assembly by 1/8 the gap will be too big) I saved $4k doing this myself...in comparison compared to the quote we recieved from the pros. If you are handy then consider DIY.
Great tips here! For anyone not comfortable with doing an install themselves, getting the right professionals is the next best step. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic Job Scott ! This is one of the best videos on youtube for helping someone truly understand what electronic shades can do for a home that is easy to understand and supported by beautifully shot projects.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Roland Donald thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Very helpful. What model is it at 2:15? looks perfect for me. I have nice views behind my house, but its hard to see the computer screen when it is bright outside. I would love to still see those views but drop the brightness a bit. And then with a dual roller, have a blackout blind as well to fully black out when needed. But the transparent black looks better than the transparent white I had been looking at.
Those are Lutron brand screens. There are a ton of choices. If you are in North or South Carolina, we can help you out, if not you should search for a local Lutron shade dealer. They would be perfect for your application. Thanks for watching
Ok I did trade shows for years and for some reason it seems the look of all salesmen is a slightly baggy blue dress shirt, greased or gelled hair, and a facial structure somewhere between attractive and Picasso. 😂
Are there horizontal blinds with the 3 settings. Like the ones at 3:22 that the complete open moves the blind to the bottom So you can have a complete open top only? Or perhaps since these are measure and made to fit. Could their "see through" have varying transparency. Like the upper 1/3 be a clear as possible while the bottom darker?
Great questions. We recommend you contact us at audioadvice.com via chat or phone and our team of experts can help you out and see if we can find exactly what you're looking for!
Are there any battery powered smart roller shades? Also, if powered is not an option, what's the best, most inconspicuous manually operated pull chord roller shade option?
YES-battery operation has come a long way using rechargeable lithium ion batteries so for post construction applications I install thousands per year...
You mention the name of a brand of shades about 50 seconds into the video, but I can't make out what you said. Can you please try to identify your recommendations below and maybe present some text on the screen with key information. Thank you!
Quick question my home came with these electric blind curtains and it’s a bit broken the middle is longer than the other two and when I make them go up it just keeps rolling when it is already wrapped up any tips on how to fix it?
You're right, everyone in my house is lazy as hell, they may open a few here and there, but it's always dark in the house. For the past 10 years, it's been me opening and closing every morning and night. I wish I had an automatic system like this.
Great question, many these days can be battery powered. Lutron has developed a motor that results in a 5+ year battery life. There are more fabric options if you can hard wire them, but that is normally only possible in new construction. Thanks for watching
I really don't get how quietness is even in the top 100 considerations. It takes a few seconds, for crying out loud. Even if it was as loud as a chainsaw, it really wouldn't matter much, and I can't imagine even the "loudest" of these things being more than a slightly annoying low hum or buzz...for 5-10 seconds, max.

is the blind still holding up ok? I'm considering the motorized option from Select Blinds but want to understand more about its reliability.
Man your videos are awesome 👏
Thanks, we are glad you enjoy them

@Roland Donald It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Brody Jeremiah no problem :)
Thank you for the informative video. I am currently in the process of planning a new home and looking to prewire for blinds. What would you recommend?

Thank you for the very concise and helpful video.

Rudy Holthuis He said Lutron
@@eddieg4246 Thank you!
A lot of talk about Lutron and the swatches said Lutron. But it looked like a lot of the shades shown were actually PowerShades. Is that correct?
All of the shades in this video are Lutron. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Very informative!

Oscar, you will need to find out the brand and reach out to the manufacturer. There is no generic repair we know of, thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice gotcha thanks

That's the experience with 90% of homes 😀
Great information!

@@AudioAdvice This helps me a lot. Thank you!
"I'm tired of opening and closing these windows" 🤷♂️
Thank you for video Helped me a lot.
But the dude looks like Cheburashka
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching
The video needs to get rid of the music. I can barely understand the narrator because of it.

It matters in our house. Hyperacusis combined w hearing loss almost makes life unlivable. So super important for some.
