Why does Alva IQ cost so much less than other Motorized Shades?

We believe Smart Window Shades should be accessible to everyone!

And it’s why we continue to work closely with our shipping and retail partners to keep prices low. We really do pass those savings right on to you.

How does Alva IQ differ from other Smart Shade companies like Lutron or Hunter Douglas?

That is what really sets Alva IQ apart – we will always be offering the best possible value to our customers by eliminating all additional costs (showrooms, salesperson, catalogs, etc.) and shipping directly to our customers through our online model. Along with eliminating the costs you would incur through a local store or big box retailer, we offer additional value through complimentary shipping as well as the added comfort of our return policy.

What is the material type and the durability of the fabric used?

All Alva IQ Roller Shades are made of 100% polyester or polyester/vinyl material and have proved durable under various testing conditions such as high heat and humidity levels.

Do these shades completely block sunlight from entering a room?

Our room-darkening and blackout fabrics prevent light from passing through the shade material. Depending upon the style and installation of the shade. When mounted inside the window frame, a ¾” light gap on either side can enter a room through the space between the edge of the shade and the window frame, allowing some light in around the edges of the window.

How do Alva IQ Smart shades save energy?

Shades save energy by reducing heating and cooling costs. Lowering shades in the summer prevents the sun’s harsh rays from heating up a room (and causing an air conditioner to work overtime), while raising them in the winter captures heat from those rays.

Hey Alexa, Open My Kitchen Shades.

Great product. I was able to install it in less than 20 minutes. It's a sleek design and it looks great on our two french doors. It's great to be able to control my shades remotely using Wifi without having to get an additional controller to make everything work. I was also able to setup additional users for my family and schedule different scenes for different times of day. Definitely a great value.
