Leading the Automation & Motorized Shades Industry

In 1995, when Polar Shade first started producing shades, nobody knew what technology could really do for the window shade business.

Today, we are leading the shades industry with outstanding technology that makes it easy to open and close window coverings in homes, and commercial, hospitality and healthcare facilities. Our interior and exterior motorized shades provide carefree usability, allowing you to bring the outside into your home or office whenever you see fit.

Simple Control. Powerful Results.

Motorized shades allow you to easily manage glare, privacy, and energy efficiency. Schedule them to adjust automatically based on time of day, temperature, or sunlight. Control them individually or all at once, remotely or from your phone. Whether you're at home or away, the experience is seamless.

Get the Right Fit

Our team will help you select the ideal motor and controls based on your specific needs, project scope, and desired level of automation. With Polar Shades, motorization isn’t an upgrade. It’s a smarter way to live.
