THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED. EXPERTLY INSTALLED.

All of our shading systems are thoughtfully designed, custom made, and expertly installed to ensure a superior look.

All projects begin with a complimentary design consultation. A knowledgeable representative will walk you through various system options, including:

  • Hardware configuration
  • Power options
  • Control options and/or automation system integration
  • Shade fabric options

When the initial meeting is complete, your representative will prepare a proposal that is tailored to your space and personal preferences. That proposal can be edited accordingly if you wish to alter the design.

MANUFACTURING & INSTALLATION

Most window treatments (even custom made shades) are prefabricated off-site according to estimates. J Geiger shading systems are built on-site with the same level of care that you would expect from a trim carpenter or custom cabinet maker. As such, we’ve developed a proprietary two-part installation process to ensure an exact fit.

part 1

Hardware Installation

  • Our installation process is unique in that all hardware is installed before shades are manufactured. This usually occurs during the trim phase of construction, but the same process applies for retrofit projects.
  • An installer or team of installers will mount brackets and cut shade tubes on site during the initial install visit.
  • When bare shade tube is installed, exact measurements are submitted to our shade fabrication team. The pre-installed tube remains in place, and shades will be cut to match.
  • By installing brackets, tubes, and motors early, we can ensure a precise fit and proactively test system functionality.

Shade Fabrication

  • All window shades are cut, hemmed, and packaged at our manufacturing facility in Charleston, SC.
  • Shades are cut to match pre-installed tube. No error margin calculation is required.
  • Shade fabrication usually takes 3-6 weeks from the initial install visit.

Shade Installation

  • Shade panels arrive in unique shipping crate that minimizes waste (90% less garbage than premanufactured shades that arrive double-boxed and bubble-wrapped.
  • Shade fabric is rolled on site and installed into an already working system.
  • An installer will set shade limits and test controls.
  • Since we roll fabric on-site, replacing shades is easy. There’s no need to re-buy hardware (tubes, brackets, motors, etc.). Simply pick out a new fabric.
