In addition, motorized window treatments allow you to adjust the amount of daylight entering your home, save energy, and protect interiors.

Control comes in a variety of forms

The way you control your shades, blinds, and window treatments can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Control options include wall switches, hand-held remotes, timers, and sensors. Using a remote control to operate shades simplifies electrical wiring and eliminates the need for a switch. With such control, shades can be operated individually or in groups. Most of us already own a control device; it’s our smart phone or tablet. By downloading an app you can easily adjust shades, blinds, and window treatments throughout your home.

Extend the life of window treatments and furniture

Motorized shades can extend the life of your window treatments by eliminating the wear and tear associated with manual operation. Shading systems also protect furniture, fine art, rugs, and wood surfaces from the sun’s damaging UV rays.

Increase privacy and comfort

Perhaps you have neighbors situated close to your property that require more privacy. Press a switch to lower blinds in your bathroom or at night when you are getting ready for bed.
