Motorized Shades in Hawaii for Homes & Businesses

Since 1991, Pacific Audio & Communications (PAC) has been Hawaii’s trusted motorized shades company, designing, installing, and supporting high-performance shading systems for homes and commercial spaces statewide. From sun-soaked beachfront villas in Wailea to glass-wrapped penthouses in Honolulu, our customizable window shades bring together stunning beauty and intelligent lighting control. Smart shading systems reduce heat, eliminate glare, protect interiors from UV rays, while offering unmatched convenience whether you live on-island or manage property from afar.

Serving Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island, with priority service in Honolulu, Waikīkī, and Wailea.

Serving All Hawaii Islands

PAC provides expert motorized shading solutions across all major Hawaiian islands. Wherever you call home or do business in Hawaii, you can enjoy beautifully integrated, professionally supported automated shades built for island living.

Motorized Shades for Hawaii Living and Working

In Hawaii, the sun is part of our lifestyle, but it does occasionally need to be managed. But without proper shading, you’re left compromising comfort and design. PAC's motorized shades give homeowners and business professionals the ability to instantly transform their spaces with the touch of a button or a voice command. From glare reduction on ocean-facing windows to complete blackout for bedrooms or media rooms, our smart shades deliver peace of mind and aesthetic appeal.

  • Light Control & Glare Reduction: Protect views without harsh sunlight disrupting your space.
  • On-Demand Privacy: Perfect for condos, resort corridors, or street-level shops in Honolulu and Waikīkī.
  • Interior Protection: Reduce UV exposure that fades furniture, flooring, and artwork.
  • Effortless Convenience: Control multiple windows at once or one at a time with scheduled operations or on-demand preset automations.

Shade Styles and Fabrics We Recommend for Hawaii

We help our clients choose the ideal fabrics, finishes, and styles so each motorized window treatment complements the intended room’s aesthetic while functioning perfectly. In a tropical climate like ours, quality materials and thoughtful design make a difference for long-term performance.

  • Roller Shades: Sleek and minimalist, perfect for modern island homes.
  • Solar & UV Protection Shades: Filter light without losing the view, great for living rooms, home offices, and corporate offices alike.
  • Blackout Shades: Total privacy and darkness, ideal for bedrooms and media rooms at home. In conference rooms, combine solar and blackout fabrics to maintain daytime light control and switch to full privacy for presentations or video calls.
  • Insect Screens: Enjoy outdoor spaces without bugs and added shade, especially in Wailea and Kihei homes.
  • Sheers for Lobbies & Common Areas: Create a soft, inviting atmosphere while reducing glare and solar heat gain—ideal for Waikīkī hotels, Maui resorts, and gathering spaces. We offer motorized blinds, sheer fabrics, and custom fascias designed to disappear into architectural pockets or stand out as a contemporary showpiece—the choice is always yours. Whether your style is classic, modern, or coastal luxury, PAC delivers stunning results.

Smart Control Options (Remote, App, Voice, and Schedules)

Our shade automation systems go far beyond basic control and enhance how you live, work, and play. Our motorized window treatments support multiple control options, including mobile apps, handheld remotes, voice assistants, and time-based automation. Here’s how our one-touch smart shade scenes can elevate your lifestyle:

  • Morning: Greet the day with whisper-quiet motorized shades that rise gradually to let in soft, natural light, perfect for primary bedrooms, hotel suites, or spa environments.
  • Away: Activate this scene as you leave. Shades lower for added privacy and heat reduction, helping maintain indoor temperature while blocking outside visibility.
  • Sunset: As the sun lowers, shades adjust to reduce glare while preserving ocean views, especially useful for west-facing windows in Honolulu or Kailua-Kona.
  • Meeting Mode: Used in commercial settings, this scene closes blackout shades in conference rooms or offices for better screen visibility and reduced distractions.

Additional features include:

  • Scheduled Automation: Program your window coverings to follow your daily routine or energy-saving strategy without lifting a finger.
  • Remote Access: Manage your smart shades while off-island, ideal for second homes in Wailea or investment properties in Waikīkī.
  • Voice Control Shades: Compatible with Josh and other popular voice assistants for hands-free convenience.

All control options are designed to integrate seamlessly into the larger business or smart home automation systems PAC installs, giving you intuitive, unified control over light, privacy, and ambiance.

Motorized Shading Q&A

How much does it cost to install motorized shades in Hawaii?
Costs typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per window, depending on size, fabric, motor type, and system integration. PAC provides accurate pricing after a consultation and site review.
Do you install motorized shades on Oʻahu and Maui, and can you serve other islands too?
Yes. We primarily serve Oʻahu and Maui, including Honolulu, Waikīkī, and Wailea, and also support projects on Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island through coordinated planning.
What automated shades work best for Honolulu condos and high-rise windows?
Solar shades and blackout shades are ideal for high-rise condos, offering glare control, UV protection, and privacy while maintaining views and quiet operation.
Are motorized window treatments worth it for Waikīkī hotels, offices, or storefronts?
Yes. They improve guest comfort, reduce glare and heat, support consistent lighting control, and lower manual operation for commercial spaces.
