I have these type of windows in a house we are building. Struggling with window shades that don't hide the windows. Love what you did. Are they mounted in the ceiling? Thanks

Yes, we built custom pockets just below the ceiling line to house the automated shades. A skilled carpenter can create them for you. He will have to work very closely with the shade technician/electrician to make it work!
