Advantages of Motorized Window Treatments
Smart shades bring style and convenience to your home.
- Since your electric shades are cordless, they are a much safer choice if you have young kids or pets in your home. Shades without cords also offer an uncluttered, more pleasing aesthetic.
- Your home will have increased energy efficiency from two different processes. Every window covering provides insulation, with some offering more than others. Any insulation, however, will help to maintain your home’s temperature and reduce utility costs. We love the ability to have our automatic blinds for windows open at any time of day, whether we’re home or not. Schedule your window treatments to open at midday when the weather is cold to let natural light warm your home and close them at noon in warmer weather to keep hot air outside.
- Setting a schedule for your smart shades will also help protect your furnishings and floor coverings from UV damage during peak hours of sunlight.
- Did you know that motorized window treatments enhance your home’s security and increase its value? If you travel for business or are planning a family vacation, you know how important it is to keep your home secure while you’re away. Burglars prefer breaking into unoccupied houses, and with smart shades, you can raise and lower your window treatments anytime you like from anywhere in the world.
- Installing motorized window shades encourages potential buyers should you ever put your home on the market. Custom smart shades show that you have put effort into caring for and improving your home. Existing motorized shades also save the buyer the cost of having to install them after closing.
