Motorized Shades Offer Comfort, Privacy, and Energy Efficiency

Learn About the Perks of Motorization and How It Can Impact Your Lifestyle 

Window treatments are essential for maintaining privacy and comfort at home, but it can be tedious to manually open and close them all the time. Since we usually have more important things to do than manage our window treatments, they usually go untouched.

Motorized shades change that. With one push of a button, the shades can raise, lower, and adjust to the exact position you want them to be without a second thought. They can even be fully automated around your routine. Not only does this add control and boost comfort, but it also helps reduce your home’s overall energy consumption.

If your home in the Hamptons doesn’t have motorized shades, you’re missing out on convenience and luxury. Read on to learn more about how motorized shades can benefit your home.

Effortless Control 

Motorized window treatments offer hassle-free control. Whether you have wired or wireless shades, they can be operated using a convenient interface, such as a touchscreen remote, control panel, or your smartphone. 

All it takes is the press of a button to operate any of the shades in your home. The central control hub streamlines the operation of all shades. Plus, if you want entirely hands-free automation, you can schedule your shades to operate entirely without your input.

Pre-program the shades to run around your routine. For instance, schedule the shades to rise in the morning when you wake up and lower in the evening when you want to unwind. 

Energy Efficiency

Automatic shades also can be equipped with temperature sensors that adjust the shade’s position depending on how warm or cool it is, encouraging a more energy-efficient home.

During colder months, the shades allow sunlight to warm up your home, reducing the energy used by the heating system. Similarly, the shades block out the sun in the hot summer months to protect your home from the harsh glare and heat, resulting in a cool and comfortable atmosphere. Because of this, your HVAC system uses less energy throughout the year. 

Enhanced Security

If you’re away but feel uneasy leaving your home unoccupied, consider programming the shades so that they rise and lower at set times, making your home seem occupied to passers-by. 

Besides replicating a ‘lived-in’ look, motorized window treatments offer better privacy. Be at ease and relax by lowering the shades and blocking the view from the outside whenever you want. 

Safer for Pets and Children

Since automatic shades are cordless, they are a much safer option if you live with pets or children. The cord in manual shades poses a choking hazard, which won’t be an issue with motorized window treatments.
