About Sombra Shades
Built on decades of combined experience in shading technology, manufacturing, and sales, the company was created with a clear goal: to deliver luxury-grade motorized shade solutions with unmatched value and service for dealers and designers.
The company’s service philosophy is built around becoming a true extension of the client’s vision. From design consultation to installation support, every step of the process is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and seamless. We do not make a decision without putting our dealer first!
"We aim to evolve the shade industry beyond transactional supplier relationships and toward personalized, customer-first partnerships", said co-founder Kim Parker. "While traditional suppliers often prioritize volume and speed, Sombra Shades places its focus on craftsmanship, intentional design, and a service model built around listening, understanding, and delivering tailored solutions."

Sombra Shades offers a curated line of premium shade applications and solutions that combine modern design, enduring materials, and meticulous construction. By streamlining operations, maintaining selective supplier partnerships, and emphasizing quality craftsmanship, Sombra Shades delivers luxury aesthetics and performance without luxury pricing—a key differentiator in a crowded industry.
“Customers deserve more than a catalog and a quote—they deserve a partner,” said the co-founder, Christopher Taylor. “We launched this company to provide boutique level service, luxury grade products, and exceptional value. Sombra Shades is about elevating both the experience and the end result.”
WE OFFER ALL YOU NEED
From its inception, Sombra Shades is committed to addressing the persistent challenges faced by installers and dealers, including complex mounting systems, unreliable motors, confusing system configurations, and protracted troubleshooting processes. Every design decision was guided by a singular question: "How can we make this simpler, more reliable, and more aesthetically pleasing for both the installer and end user?" This rigorous approach yielded the first motorized shading system purposefully engineered to streamline professional workflows while upholding uncompromising luxury performance standards expected by discerning clientele.
"We challenged ourselves to solve the real pain points that have frustrated installers and dealers for years, complicated installations, unreliable motors, complex programming, and endless troubleshooting," said co-founder Rick Rizner. "This isn't just a shade; it's the first motorized shade system engineered specifically to make your job easier while delivering the latest technologies and the luxury performance your clients expect."
