10 Reasons to Invest in Motorized Shades

  1. Better Efficiency: Motorized window shades offer many advantages over manually controlled shades, including more consistent and precise movements, synchronization of multiple windows throughout your home, and automated scheduling to coincide with changing light conditions. This helps your home improve energy efficiency while keeping the temperature comfortable inside throughout the hottest days of summer and coldest nights of winter.
  2. Welcoming Home Ambiance: One of the most powerful tools in home decorating is light, as its effects are cast upon everything in the room. Natural sunlight can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which can be controlled with the intelligent use of motorized shades.
  3. Child and Pet Friendly: Motorized window shades are a great solution to protect your family against the silent threat of hanging lines off window treatments. Young children and small pets can become entangled in loose, turning lines, posing a strangulation hazard. Rest assured, knowing the little ones in your home will not be harmed thanks to the cord-free design of motorized shades.
  4. Travel Coverage: When away from home, maintain the illusion of occupation to deter theft by programming your motorized shades to open and close as usual.
  5. User-Friendly Interfaces and Smart Technology: With an advanced system like PowerView®, homeowners can choose from a selection of easy-to-use interfaces, including a handheld remote, permanent wall panel, and online PowerView® app. Those with smart home or home assistant programs can also assimilate their motorized shade control into their existing system.
  6. Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Shades: If there are windows in your home that you can’t easily reach, motorized shades offer a solution with hands-free control so that even the highest window treatment becomes easy to operate.
  7. Global Access: Never worry again that you forgot to close the shades; with the PowerView® app for motorized shades, you can control your home’s window treatments from anywhere in the world where you have internet access.
  8. UV Protection: Sun damage is a genuine concern if you have abundant sunlight in your home or areas with prolonged and unprotected exposure. Furnishings, décor, and flooring can all fall victim to sun damage, which can be prevented with the strategic use of motorized shades to control incoming sunlight.
  9. The Ultimate in User Convenience: Your time is valuable, no more so than spending it with family and friends at home. So don’t undervalue the benefits that motorized shades offer daily, taking from you the tedious chore of opening and closing windows and offering in its place the convenient control of shades at the press of a button.
  10. Better Overall Control: Not only do systems like PowerView® make the movements and timing of opening and closing shades more precise, but they also offer control for treatments throughout your entire home for centralized management and enhanced precision.
