1. Get More Use Out of Your Rooms

Pairing the right motorized window treatments with the right rooms can make any space in your home more versatile. For instance, motorized blackout shades can instantly transform a bright, window-filled living room from an ideal space for reading to a dark theater room when it’s time to watch a movie.

You can also extend your time spent outdoors by adding motorized window treatments to the patio. Instead of neglecting the outdoors due to weather or pesky bugs, utilize motorized shades and screens to block solar rays, keep out insects, and protect your patio furniture without hindering your views.

 

2. Give Your HVAC System a Break

Memphis winters are cold, and the summers are hot. Extreme temperatures in any season can wreak havoc on your HVAC system. By incorporating motorized blinds and shades throughout your home, you can greatly lower your dependence on your heating and cooling systems.

Automate your window treatments to lift during peak sunlight to help warm your home in the winter. Likewise, in the summer, automate your window treatments to lower during peak sunlight to help keep your home cool. Automated shades help insulate your home when it’s cold outside and block out solar heat gain when it’s hot so you can better conserve energy.

 

3. Live Better with Natural Light

Natural light plays a big role in our focus during the day and relaxation at night. The changing intensity and color temperature of the sunlight not only helps to regulate our energy levels but also helps prepare our bodies for sleep. If you often feel sluggish or restless, you may need more sun exposure.

By scheduling the motorized window treatments in the rooms that you use most often to an astronomical timeclock, you can take advantage of natural light when you need it most. When the sun rises, your bedroom shades will rise in tandem and flood natural light into the space as you wake. Likewise, as the sun goes down, your shades will slowly lower at sunset as you prepare for rest.

Beyond sunrise and sunset, you can automate your motorized window treatments to rise and fall at any time of day to accommodate your daily tasks, maximize energy efficiency, protect furnishings, and more.
