We proudly provide MechoShades solutions across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, Chestermere, and surrounding areas.

Whether you’re upgrading your home or designing a commercial space, our team ensures you get the perfect balance of style, comfort, and energy efficiency.

MechoShades Shading Systems has been a pioneer in the industry for decades, often referred to as the grandfather of automated shading solutions. In the early 1970s, during the rise of energy conservation, MechoShades revolutionized the market by introducing a software-controlled automated shading system. This innovation allowed building operators to reduce reliance on artificial lighting by controlling natural light more effectively. Unlike traditional systems that relied only on timers or sensors, MechoShades developed advanced technology capable of predicting minute-to-minute solar rays and calculating BTU loads on windows, enabling automated shades to respond intelligently to changing light conditions.

Since then, MechoShades has continued to innovate with industry-leading advancements. Highlights include the M5x manual operator, one of the strongest-rated clutches in today’s shading market, and the Magnashade, a continuous shade system covering up to 40 ft (12m) wide by 20 ft (6.1m) high. The company has also developed its own patented motors and electronics for superior performance and introduced Ecoveil, an environmentally friendly line of infinitely recyclable shading fabrics available in multiple opacities from 1% to 5% open.

Today, MechoShades Shading Systems offers one of the most diverse selections of motorized and manual blinds available. At GiCor, we combine this cutting-edge technology with expert installation to deliver exceptional shading solutions across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, and Chestermere. Let us show you how MechoShades Motorized Blinds can transform your space, enhance comfort, and improve energy efficiency in your home or business.
