When we say motorized blinds and shades many of our clients
initially think they don’t want or need a motorized feature for their custom
window treatments. But if you are
considering adding new blinds or shades to a room, or your entire home, you
definitely want to hear what we have to say about them. There are many other advantages to motorized
shades and blinds (drapes can be motorized too!) than just the amount of light
that you let in, there is so much more.
Here are some of the reasons we think motorized shades and blinds are a
valuable option.
The first reason is the obvious one: Convenience!
Just by pushing a button you can open and close your shades, drapes or
blinds, without having to get up, cross the room and reach over furniture. As the sun moves through the sky, or darkness
falls you can adjust your blinds and shades with just the click of a
button.
If convenience isn’t your concern, then how about protection
of your furniture, carpeting and finishes.
We all know that these items are costly for any homeowner, but when you
add motorized blinds and shades you can protect your valuable assets, no matter
what the angle of the sun’s rays. You
can even get them synchronized so that when you push the button all of the
window shades in your home are opened or closed at the same time! No more running from room to room and no more
fading of fabrics and finishes!
Energy efficiency is a big deal these days. From appliances to heating and cooling
systems and everything between and inside the walls of your home are geared
toward saving energy. With motorized
blinds and shades you can easily let in enough sunlight to warm your home on
cooler days and shade your rooms when temperatures are warm to take some of the
load off of your mechanical systems. By
giving a helping hand with motorized shades and blinds, your home’s efficiency will
increase, which will help to decrease those dreaded utility bills!
Lastly, when it comes to feeling safe and sound, motorized
blinds and shades can help too. From a
security standpoint, you can keep rooms hidden during the day or night just by
lowering or closing your shades. If you
want to give the appearance that you are at home, even when your not, motorized
shades can help with that too. Some
systems even allow for control through your computer!
Who said custom window treatments are just for looks? We love that they can add more to your home
than warmth and style! For more information
