Automated Convenience
How easy and convenient motorized shades are to operate might not seem like a huge priority for window treatment selection – but you’ll be surprised by just how much this benefit frees up your daily tasks and activities. By pressing a single button on your smart device of choice, you can lower and raise shades in mere moments.
There’s no need to reach for high-up blinds and shades that cover your gorgeous bay or floor-to-ceiling windows. You will never have to endure sun streaming across a TV screen or uncomfortably into your eyes purely because you aren’t able to lower shades that are too out-of-reach. Even if you did manage to lower those standard shades – the sun will eventually move as well, leaving you in the same situation every hour.
This is why the added convenience of a one-button press and a completely automated setup, is a must-have. Once you schedule your home around planned “scenes” and automated settings, you’ll wonder how you ever went a day without them. A “movie night” scene or a “good morning” one sets your shades to lower according to the occasion – whether it’s to envelop a room in darkness or to let light inside your bedroom in the morning. Motorized shades let you decide.
Installed photosensors can also work with your shades to have them adjust according to the sun’s patterns outside. Protect vintage artwork and delicate furniture throughout the day while still letting gentle, natural light inside at various times. You get all the benefits of shades and none of the hassle.
Improved Privacy and Safety
As mentioned above, setting scenes for your everyday routines and lifestyle will be a breeze. When you set your home security to an “away” scene, you can incorporate your motorized shades and smart lighting control to function normally while you’re gone.
This setup means that your shades will lower, and your lights will turn on and off regularly to mimic your daily life as if you were home, deterring burglars from ever attempting to break in or intrude upon your property. They’ll see a seemingly full-of-life home, and steer clear. You’ll keep anyone from thinking your house is empty and unoccupied.
But automated shades don’t just help with security – they can improve your privacy and well-being as well. As you enjoy reading a book in the front sitting room or listening to a podcast while you relax, your sheer shades can allow dim lighting in while still blocking harmful UV rays.
Shades with less opacity can let you even have a nice view of the street while keeping others from seeing inside. Even more opaque shades are meant for your bathrooms and areas of the home that you want to be shielded from others.
There are plenty of more reasons why motorized shades are far superior to manual, standard options. Want to learn more about the benefits of automated shading and how this solution can elevate your lifestyle? Give our team a call or fill out our online contact form here. We’d love to hear from you!
