An Affordable, Stylish New Option in Roller Shades

Screen Innovations Niño™ is the Motorized Shade for Everyone

At Show and Tell AV, we love smart home automation and what it can do for Bountiful homes. And one of the most popular smart home options is motorized shading because it's easy to enumerate the benefits. But we can't deny that motorized shading comes at a significant premium over conventional window treatments despite the return on investment. So we're always excited when a new option comes on the market, especially when it's affordable. Screen Innovations—a brand that first cut its teeth on home theater screens—recently introduced the Niño™, a stylish motorized roller shade line that ticks all the boxes for automated shading without breaking the bank. Let’s dig into what the Niño™ brings to Utah homeowners below.

Design and Aesthetics

When most people consider automated roller shades, form matters just as much as function. The Niño™ doesn't disappoint in this department. With its sleek box and roll options, these shades offer a clean, modern aesthetic that complements any home's decor. Whether outfitting a cozy condo, a mid-century ranch house, or a contemporary townhouse, the Niño™ fits right in.

Available in classic white or sophisticated black cassette or roll hardware, these roller shades provide a neutral palette that works with any color scheme. But what truly sets the Niño™ apart is how it seamlessly blends into your living space. Unlike bulky, outdated window treatments, these shades practically disappear when not in use, maintaining the clean lines of your windows and letting you enjoy unobstructed views of Utah’s beautiful scenery.

Flexible Control, Smart Features

Niño™ boasts impressive control options and smart features. With both Zigbee and RF capabilities in every motor controller, these shades integrate well with popular smart home platforms like SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home, and Control4. You can easily control the shades using voice commands or smartphone apps. RF capability means that you can also use a simple, handheld remote control. 

The Niño™ also incorporates soft start/stop technology for quiet operation, programmable limits for customized settings, and group control to manage multiple shades simultaneously. These features transform your roller shades from simple window coverings into an integral part of your smart home ecosystem.

Power Choices

The Niño™ roller shades offer two convenient power options, catering to different needs in Bountiful homes. The rechargeable lithium battery option provides a wire-free solution, ideal for easy installation and hard-to-reach windows. The Apple-like magnetic recharging connector makes the process a breeze. The rechargeable battery option is perfect for retrofitting older homes without the need for wiring work.

For those preferring a constant power source, the low-voltage wired option ensures your shades are always at the ready. This is particularly useful for larger windows or high-use areas.

Both choices offer unique advantages, allowing you to select the best fit for your needs and home layout.

Fabric Selection and Size Range

The Niño™ line offers impressive versatility with 42 fabric options, catering to any home's decor. From light-filtering to blackout, these roller shades provide precise control over light and privacy with openness factors of 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%.

Size-wise, Niño™ adapts to virtually any window, fitting spaces from 16 inches wide and 22 inches high up to impressive 110-inch spans in both directions. This flexibility means you can outfit everything from a bathroom window to a grand picture window in a living area. With such a wide range of fabrics and sizes, Niño™ roller shades offer something for every room in your home.
