Smart Solutions for Modern Finance: Our Latest Installation at Eclipse Financial Timmins

When it comes to financial planning, clarity is everything. We recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Timmins Financial, located at 120 Pine St S, to give their workspace a major functional and aesthetic upgrade.

As Eclipse Financial continues to provide top-tier group benefits and retirement services to our community, they needed an office environment that matched their professional, forward-thinking approach. We stepped in to install a fully automated shading system that combines sleek aesthetics with the latest in "Smart Office" technology.

The Upgrade: Somfy Zigbee Integration

For this project, we didn’t just install blinds—we installed a lifestyle upgrade. We outfitted all of their new offices and boardrooms with Somfy Zigbee Automated Roller Shades.

Why Zigbee? Zigbee is the gold standard for reliable, two-way communication in smart buildings. Unlike traditional motorized shades, these systems provide real-time feedback. This means the team at Eclipse can see the exact position of their shades and monitor battery life directly through their devices.

Ultimate Control with the TaHoma Switch

To tie the whole system together, we integrated the Somfy TaHoma Switch. This powerful smart hub allows the staff to:

  • App-Controlled Convenience: Adjust any shade in the building from a smartphone or tablet.
  • Scene Setting: With one touch, the boardroom can transition from a bright meeting space to a glare-free presentation zone.
  • Scheduled Automation: The shades can be programmed to open at the start of the business day and close at sunset for security and energy efficiency.

The Perfect Balance: 3% Light Filtering

In a professional setting, natural light is essential for productivity, but screen glare is the enemy. We selected a 3% light-filtering fabric for the roller shades. This specific openness factor is the "sweet spot" for offices:

  1. Glare Reduction: It cuts the harsh sun hitting computer monitors and tablets.
  2. Maintained Views: It allows the team to enjoy the view of Riverside Drive without feeling closed in.
  3. UV Protection: It protects office furniture and tech from sun damage while keeping the rooms cool and comfortable.

Professional Installation, Locally Made

Like all of our projects, the shades installed at Eclipse Financial were made in Canada. Supporting Canadian manufacturing ensures we provide products built to last, backed by our professional installation team that ensures every bracket is level and every motor is perfectly synced.

We are thrilled to help Eclipse Financial create a space where they can continue to help the people of Timmins thrive financially in total comfort.

Is your office ready for a 21st-century upgrade? Whether you are looking for automated shades for a single office or a full commercial building, we have the Canadian-made solutions you need.
