Landscape Speakers

A beautiful outdoor entertainment space serves multiple purposes, from big-party gatherings under the stars to a sunny day of solitude by the pool. Whatever you use your outdoor patio space for, equip it with a high-fidelity speaker system that blends in perfectly with your landscaping.

Solutions from Rockustics give you the great sound you want for all your outdoor spaces with speakers that are constructed to look like real rocks, stones, and even planter pots. Each speaker is combined with authentic environmental design to transform your outdoor spaces into a high-fidelity haven. Stream music, the audio from the latest sports game, and more from weather-proof, fade-resistant landscape speakers that complement any outdoor design.

Motorized Shades

The benefits of motorized shades are vast, including their power to elevate the interior design of any home space that has windows. Solutions from QMotion offer top-notch technology and leading fashion sense for stylish homes of all types. Choose from a variety of fabrics, styles, and colors to add personality to every room in your home that is exposed to the outdoors.

For your kitchen, select a sheer weave style that protects your furnishings from UV rays but still allows natural light to brighten your space during the day. For your media room, choose from a variety of blackout styles that complement the room’s décor but also block out all sunlight when you’re ready to watch a movie.

No matter the style of QMotion motorized shades you choose, control them all with ease by just the press of a button. Schedule scenes for them to follow, or even set them to the astronomical clock to rise and fall with the sun. With smart shades, you’ll save energy, gain added convenience, and elevate your home’s style all at once.
