Why You Should Upgrade to Motorized Shades for Your Home
Motorized shades may seem like a high-end feature that only fancy people opt for, but the reality is that they provide practicality, convenience, and safety to every home in which they are found.
Save Energy Automatically
The energy efficiency of having a programmable timer that ensures insulation at the right times of day and night will, quite literally, save you money.
For example, the intense heat that beats in on an uncovered window results in increased air conditioning use. Likewise, cold winter months bring the opportunity for heat loss through those same windows. Having the ability to automatically control the shades (even when you're not home) is a fantastic solution for energy efficiency.
Protect Your Furnishings
In addition to the decreased energy costs, imagine the longevity it gives your furnishings and carpets by being able to prevent sun fading. Have you ever had to replace a perfectly good piece of furniture or an area rug simply because of fading? No fun!
Make Your Home Safer for Kids and Pets
Motorized shades eliminate the need for strings and cords, which can be a hazard with many window treatments. Homes with children, grandchildren, and pets will find this a very reassuring & welcome safety feature.
Increase Accessibility
Are you currently in your forever home? As we age, our mobility decreases over time. Being able to control the light and temperature of our space EASILY becomes more and more important in our daily lives. Motorized shades are a welcome addition to an aging in place design.
Boost Privacy & Security
Privacy and security go hand in hand with the motorized function. You have the ability to close shades when you are not at home, as well as the programmable ability for them to close precisely at sundown.
The many benefits of having motorized shades easily outweighs any hesitation of the initial investment. With increased energy efficiency, safety, flexibility, and privacy, they are an investment that pays off well into the future.
