Motorization of window treatments is the way of the future, not just for greater functionality, but also for convenience and style! A trend growing in popularity in many homes is motorized interior & exterior shades. These shades allow for light, heat, and glare control, as well as privacy at the touch of a button.
Now, a broader range of options for motorized shades allows us to better meet the specifications of our residential clients and businesses. Value-added options include solar-powered motorized lift, battery and rechargeable battery options, and plug-in and hardwire options for larger window coverings.
Improve your home’s function by integrating your motorized window coverings with current automation systems such as Alexa or Google Home. You can operate your shades from your phone, laptop, or tablet and they can be programmed to open individually, all at once, or in groups designated by you.
Shading your home from the exterior has some marked energy saving advantages. To understand this, you must first understand how the sun’s energy works. Short wave radiation (sunlight) travels through glass, and when it hits a surface inside your home it will be absorbed and turned into heat. That surface includes your shades. However, if the shades are located on the outside, when the short wave radiation hits it, it will not travel into your home. This actually provides even more energy efficiency than an interior window covering because of the amount of heat gain reduction.
