Stay cool inside, no matter how sunny it gets.
On the North Shore, in Montreal, or on the South Shore, heat control starts with proper window coverings. Store Tech offers high-performance solutions to block heat, manage light, and lower energy costs for homes, businesses, and offices.
Summer brings brightness and sometimes overwhelming heat. Fortunately, you can keep your spaces cool without relying solely on air conditioning.
How? By choosing high-performance window coverings designed to block heat, control light, and enhance the ambiance of every room.
From large-windowed offices to modern cottages, cellular shades and solar screens provide stylish, effective solutions for any project.
Investing in high-performance window coverings
With increasingly hot summers, it’s essential to opt for solutions that are durable, efficient, and elegant. A well-chosen window covering acts as a true thermal shield:
• It improves occupant comfort
• It reduces the need for air conditioning
• It blends harmoniously into the design of the space
At Store Tech, we believe window coverings shouldn’t just serve a technical purpose — they should also contribute to the visual identity of a space, whether residential or commercial.
Our window coverings combine thermal performance and refined design
Among our heat-control solutions, two product categories stand out:
• Cellular shades – known for their excellent thermal insulation and sleek design
• Solar screens – valued for their ability to filter light while providing a modern finish
Designed for homeowners, renters, and businesses seeking tailored solutions, our products combine thermal efficiency, clean aesthetics, and motorization options. They are available in both manual and motorized versions, compatible with most smart home systems.
Cellular shades: discreet and effective insulation
With their honeycomb structure, cellular shades create a natural barrier against heat. Their smart design makes them ideal for those seeking energy performance with a minimalist look.
Benefits:
• Excellent thermal insulation
• Durable, easy-care fabrics
• Sleek, elegant design
• Available with manual or motorized systems
Cellular shades help regulate indoor temperature and maintain optimal comfort without overloading your AC.

Solar screens: invisible protection against heat
Perfect for large glass surfaces, solar screens offer optimal control of light and heat. They preserve exterior views while protecting interiors from UV rays and glare.
Two options to suit your needs:
• Classic solar screens – excellent for filtering light and regulating temperature with a natural fabric look
• Metal-backed solar screens – maximize solar reflection for enhanced thermal performance, while maintaining a clean design
Key advantage: Available with motorization and smart home integration.
To remember:
• Classic solar screens are perfect for spaces needing a balance between light and thermal comfort, with a textile-inspired aesthetic.
• Metal-backed screens reflect solar rays to the maximum — an ideal choice for highly exposed windows or projects requiring top thermal performance.
• Black solar screens with a metal backing represent our most high-performance option, both in heat control and light reduction. Perfect for sun-drenched environments.
• Both options integrate seamlessly into smart environments, thanks to compatibility with motorization and home automation systems.
Motorization and automation: smart comfort and energy savings
With motorized window coverings, comfort becomes smart.
Using sensors, schedules, voice commands (Google Home, Alexa, etc.), or automation systems, your shades can:
• Close automatically during peak heat hours, reducing solar heat gain
• Open when natural light is sufficient, minimizing artificial lighting
• Respond to room temperature to maintain comfort without depending solely on AC or heating
This automated management not only optimizes your comfort but also helps you save energy, especially during summer or in large glazed areas.
Motorization becomes a true lever for energy performance. In home automation, a well-programmed scene can help lower overall energy consumption while increasing the longevity of your coverings by reducing repetitive handling.
