There have been numerous technological advancements for motorized window treatments. These developments have, in turn, led to a large number of benefits of utilizing motorized shades. Some of these advantages include energy savings and tax rebates, added protection to the items within your home, and technological integration within home programs.
Energy savings these days continue to be a hot topic, especially with the sky rocketing costs of gas and electricity. As demand for these utilities grows and supply diminishes, the cost for running these continues to get more and more expensive. Window treatments are a great way to keep heat out or in, depending on the season, but unless you are home all day and can manually shut your shades at the appropriate times, it’s not always feasible to open and close them when needed. Motorized shades can help. You can easily add a timer or sun sensor to your motorized window treatments when you are away from home. In this way, you can maximize energy savings even if you’re not home. Many of these specialized shades qualify for tax rebates due to their energy saving and eco-friendly characteristics, so it is important to investigate the potential of receiving money saving tax rebates.
Motorized shades also provide a level of protection for the items on the interior of your home. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage a large number of items, from wood floors to paintings and wall hangings and priceless antiques on display. Natural light is a beautiful addition to an interior, but it can be detrimental to the fabrics and furnishings in your home. Having motorized treatments not only provides you with added energy savings, but they allow for added protection of your expensive home accessories.
With the technological advancements of motorized shades, it is incredible to consider the options available for a complete home integration. It is now possible to integrate the motorized window shades with a home’s lighting, computer, your home automated system, and even audio/video equipment and HVAC systems. You can control your electric shades with the simple touch of a button. You can program your shades to open and close at specific times throughout the day. You can even install sun sensors so the shades open and close according to the sunlight’s entry into your home. It’s incredible.
