TLC Design specializes in the control of Natural and Electric light using the most current technologies from Lutron in both window shading solutions and lighting control systems. We have been designing and installing shading and lighting systems since 1994 and has been a residential systems integrator since 1987 when Chris started his first company.
Chris has been a residential systems integration contractor for thirty two years. In 2010 Chris decided to just concentrate on Window Shading and Lighting. Because of his extensive background in the home automation and smart home field he brings a wealth of knowledge to anyone that hires his firm. This is becoming very important today as most homeowners want to tie in their new motorized window treatments or lighting control into their existing system, or, they just might want to plan for the future. Please feel free to call Chris to discuss your present and future needs.
The power to transform any space with light is now yours, at the touch of a button. Control the lights and shades throughout your entire home. With the simple touch of a button, you can recall lighting scenes, automatically raise and lower shades to add privacy, protect furnishing, and save energy. Adjust the light and shade levels in a single room or throughout your whole home using a hand-held remote, wall-mounted keypad, tabletop control, and with your mobile devices. Create just the right light for any activity or mood and save energy while you do it.
Lutron controls also give you the ability to control the temperature in your home from the same keypads, mobile devices and/or using a timeclock schedule to automate things. Thus further saving energy by reducing your HVAC use. The nice part about using these three solutions from one manufacturer, Lighting Control, Shading Systems and Temperature Control, is that all three sit on one control platform with the same user interfaces. They also will seamlessly integrate with other whole home control systems such as A/V and security for a complete solution.
Window treatments are such an important part of a home’s decor. They frame the view, add color, provide a backdrop to other furnishings and can reduce glare or create privacy with a touch of a button. Along with being part of the decor, window treatments play an important role by providing UV protection for the floors, furniture and art work while also reducing energy costs by blocking solar heat gain into the room. Please take a look at our “Fabrics Collection” tab for a sampling of the many fabrics available.
With today's motorized window treatments you have the ability to make your home more comfortable and easier to use. Motorization allows a user to adjust a bank of shades, a hard to reach window or the whole house with a touch of a button. These systems can also tie into a lighting control system or other home control system for total control of all the light in the home. Total Light Control designs and installs ultra-quite motorized shades and drapery systems. The following pages represent the different types of Window treatments available from us. If you don’t see what you are looking for please call us as we are always adding new product. Also please take a look at our “Controls Collection” tab for all of the different ways to control these motorized systems.
Design assistance is available for both the Lighting Control systems and the Window Shading systems. We can work alone or help your team design the proper systems for your project. I will explain the current systems and the options available for your project. I work with CAD and can overlay a control system on a set of prints so you have a plan to work from. I can design and draw shade pockets for the general contractor. I can deliver fabric samples to the Interior designer and discuss color and fabric specifications. Any aspect of these systems I can design so please let us know how we can help you.
TLC Design can generate a quote along with any other documentation you deem necessary for the project. With in-house CAD capabilities we are able to provide drawings for the project. Also, with a library of technical documents and application notes even the most demanding clients need to look no further for the answer than TLC Design.
With 32 years of project management experience you can feel comfortable putting your project in our hands. My knowledge of these systems allows me to be able to communicate the project needs to both the trades and the design team to keep the project running smooth from day to day.
I have been programming Lutron lighting and shading systems since 1994 when I first went to training at Lutron headquarters in Pennsylvania. I am certified to design and program Lutron’s HomeWorks QS, Radio RA2, Caséta Lightning Control Systems along with all of Lutron’s shading solutions.
The project is never complete until the client is fully trained and fully understands how the system functions. This includes the husband, wife, kids, house keeper and anyone that will be using the system on a regular basis. We are extremely patient and have trained even the most non-technical of clients to use their systems to the fullest.
If the system needs to be looked at we are just a phone call away. We will get you up and running fast. Also any system we install has the ability to be rebooted from off-site and this usually takes care of 95% of the issues. But please feel free to give us a call if you have any concerns. We are here to help.
