10 Ways You Will Benefit from Having Motorized Shades

When it comes to window treatments, there are a lot of options to choose from. But if you want the best of the best, then you should consider motorized shades also known as roller shades to give your home a luxurious feel, not to mention the ultimate in convenience. If you haven't seen motorized shades in action yet, you are in for a treat when you do see them. It's a beautiful sight to watch shades just go up and down without having to do it manually. These shades operate with a remote or app that with the press of a button or even a voice command, they go up and down. This type of window treatment combines decor with technology. Here are ten reasons why you need them in your home: 

1) How They Work In A Home Movie Theater

If you have a home movie theater, you know how important it is to make sure that the light is completely gone when the movie starts. With motorized shades, all you have to do is lower them with the remote or app, and you are set. They can also be connected to a smart home automation system that controls your entertainment system so that they are included in the trigger for that setup - pressing one button for audio, video, shades, and lighting for your movie time provides a fun and convenient experience.

2) Perfect For Hard To Reach Windows

Do you have windows that are hard to reach? Maybe they are high up and difficult to get to. Motorized shades are perfect for those types of windows because you can now reach them to go up and down without having to get on a ladder.

3) They Provide Privacy And Security For Your Home

If you are not home and want to make it look like someone is, you can set a schedule for your motorized shades. This will give the appearance that someone is home even when you are not. And if you want to keep prying eyes from seeing in, simply lower the shades for privacy. All of this can be done remotely from an app on your mobile device. 

4) Motorized Shades Protect Your Furnishings From Sun Damage

The sun can damage your furniture and floors over time, but how many of us will remember when to open and close shades when the sun is beaming in, especially if we are not at home during the day? You can schedule your blinds to go down at specific times. 

5) They Can Help Regulate The Temperature In Your Home

In the winter, you want as much heat in as possible to help lower energy costs. By using motorized shades, you can trap the heat by keeping them closed. In the summer months, keep your home cooler by keeping the heat from coming through your windows.

6) Wake Up To Natural Sunshine

Gradually waking up to natural sunlight is a great way to start your day. But if the sun is too bright, it can be jarring. With motorized shades, you can set a schedule so that they gradually open in the morning and you can wake up gently to the sun.

7) Save Time Walking Around Your Entire Home To Close Shades

If you want to close all the shades in your home at once, it can be a pain to have to walk around and do it manually. With motorized shades, you can close them all with the push of a button and if it's integrated with a smart home automation system, it can be programmed along with other tech to be part of the nightly shutdown of your home.

7) Lighting Design And Control With Roller Shades

Not only can you schedule your roller shades to open and close, but you can also utilize it in lighting design and control, to create the perfect mood for any room in your home. This means that you can set the perfect lighting for any activity from entertainment to daily routines like evenings in your kitchen. Make motorized shades a part of your dimming system in your home to control lighting.

8) Don't Forget Outdoor Motorized Shades

Outdoor motorized shades are perfect for patios, decks, and porches. They provide shade and protection from the sun so that you can enjoy being outside without the sun's heat bearing down on you. And when the sun does go down, they can create a perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing in your outdoor space by keeping bugs out. 

9) Motorized Shades Add Value To Your Home

If you are thinking of selling your home, motorized shades are a great feature to add because they are luxurious and convenient. This will make your home stand out from others on the market and could help you get top dollar for your sale.
