3 Ways Automated Window Shades Make Your Life Easier
Did you know that your window treatments can be made a part of your home’s smart technology ecosystem?
PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas transforms ordinary shades, blinds, and even shutters into elements you can control wirelessly from anywhere. You can even program your window treatments to open and close on schedules you create from the smartphone app. Automation is a customer favorite, but it’s also a new high-end technology many still don’t know is possible in their home.
At Blindsmith Inc., we’ve been installing automated window shades, binds, and shutters in Colorado homes for years. We are experts in introduce our neighbors to this exciting and beneficial feature. Here are three ways automated window shades can make your life easier!
Improved Security
If you’re away from home often, either at the office or frequently on trips out of town, then you’ll appreciate the added security and privacy that automated shades offer. With the power to program unique schedules for your window treatments, you can give the appearance of your home being busy even if you’re away. Vary up your schedules slightly from day-to-day to avoid predictability. And, if you’re away and want to make an adjustment, you can control your home’s shades from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection and the PowerView® app.
Better Accessibility for Hard-to-Reach and Transom Window Treatments
Automated window shades put your entire home’s natural lighting within reach. If your Colorado home has skylights, tall windows, high-up arches, or even tricky transom windows, smart window treatments might be your answer to finally taking control of these spaces rather than leaving them uncovered simply because they’re too difficult to care for. Our well-trained team can custom measure and fit these windows so that once they’re outfitted with a pop of color and smart technology, you’ll never have to reach for them again.
Boosted Energy Efficiency
With PowerView® Automation, scheduling your automated shades to open and close throughout the day is a cinch, and it makes taking steps to improve your home’s energy efficiency that much simpler. One fantastic benefit of automated shades is the ability to open and close your window fashions in tandem with the sunniest parts of the day.
Program your shades to open in the morning to allow soft light to gently wake you up, then, you can leave for the office knowing your shades will close as the sun rises and your home heats up. This seemingly modest change can actually improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce strain on your central cooling, something that shouldn’t be taken for granted during Colorado summers and winters!
