MECHO® SHADES
Comfort is Engineered, Not Assumed
Karsten delivers integrated shading solutions using Mecho® systems to improve comfort, daylight control and energy performance in complex commercial interiors. These systems do more than manage light; they influence how spaces function every day.
From glare reduction to solar heat control, our teams install, integrate, and commission shade systems that perform as intended long after turnover.
Performance Is In the Details.
Certified Expertise, Coordinated Execution
Karsten is among a limited group of specialty contractors certified to install Mecho® automated systems. That certification reflects not just product knowledge, but the ability to execute within finished interios and occupied environments.
Our teams coordinate with architects, engineers and facility representatives to ensure systems are properly integrated, synchronized and intuitive to operate, eliminating issues that often surface after occupancy.

More Than Installation
Mecho® Shade systems demand more than basic installation. They require coordination, calibration and a clear understanding of how technology, architecture and user experience intersect.
Karsten's certified technicians work closely with project teams to ensure each system is aligned with design intent, building performance goals and occupant needs. Every installation is planned, sequenced and tested to deliver consistent results across the entire space.

Safety, Protection & Performance
Mecho® Shade installations often occur near finished spaces, sensitive equipment and active occupants. Our crews follow strict protection, access and installation protocols to prevent disruption or damage. Every system is fully tested, calibrated and demonstrated prior to turnover. Client training is part of the process, ensuring realiability and ease of use from day one.
These systems only work if they're installed and calibrated correctly. Our job is to make sure they perform as they are designed to.

System Performance Depends on Execution
When shading systems are installed correctly, they disappear into the building's performance, quietly doing their job without drawing attention. Proper coordination prevents rework, protects finishes and ensures technology enhances the space rather than complicating it.
