Modernizing Your Windows with Window Treatment Motorization
With smart homes and automated appliances steadily gaining in popularity across the US, even once-traditional window treatments are getting caught up in the wave of innovation. Window treatment motorization technology has given homeowners more control, convenience, and stylistic options over their window coverings than ever before.
By implementing window treatment motorization throughout your Santa Fe home, you can enjoy a range of benefits from increased convenience and energy efficiency to enhanced security. If you're on the fence about whether or not to invest in motorized window coverings, let us give you a few reasons why we'd consider that investment a worthy one.
Effortless Convenience
Motorized window coverings bring an unparalleled level of convenience to your daily routine. Imagine the ease of adjusting your shades at the touch of a button, or even with a voice command—no futzing with tangled cords or awkward control wands!
Whether you're too cozy to get out of bed, busy entertaining guests, or just kicking back on the couch, motorized window treatments can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app, smart home system, or remote control. This feature is especially useful for controlling hard-to-reach windows like skylights or large windows in areas with vaulted ceilings.
Creating a Safe Home Environment
Any parent (or pet parent) knows that the pull cords that often accompany blinds and other window treatments are dangerous strangulation hazards that need to be kept well out of reach of small hands—or paws. But what if you didn't have to worry about these hazards in the first place? Window treatment motorization eliminates the need for manual controls like pull cords, making it an ideal option for households with young children or curious pets.
Energy Efficiency and Optimal Light Control
Controlling how much sunlight enters your home can have a big impact on comfort, light control, and even your home's energy efficiency. Having to manually adjust your window treatments to follow the path of the sun throughout the day can be a hassle. Automated window treatments, however, can be programmed to open and close at specific times of the day to take advantage of natural sunlight.
For example, you can program your shades to close during the hottest part of the day in summer to block out heat and reduce cooling costs. In winter, they can be set to open to let in the warmth of the sun, reducing the need for artificial heating. Some motorized shades can even be equipped with solar sensors that automatically adjust based on input to provide meticulous control over how much natural light and warmth enters your home!
Peace of Mind With Added Security
Motorized window coverings can even provide you with an additional way to enhance your home's security. When you're out of the house, whether it's for a day trip or a long vacation, you can schedule your window treatments to open and close, creating the illusion that someone is home and manually operating them. This helps deter burglars and gives you peace of mind while you're away from home.
Integration with Home Automation Systems
One of the best features of modern motorized window coverings is their ability to integrate seamlessly with smart home systems. Whether you're using Alexa, Google Home, or other smart devices, motorized window treatments can be programmed in and controlled with simple voice commands. You can even sync your window coverings with your lighting, thermostat, and security system to create a fully automated home environment that adjusts automatically for you, without you even having to think about it!
