5 Reasons You'll Love Motorized Window Treatments in Your Home

Motorization has become one of the most asked for options in the window treatments industry. Especially for hard treatments such as roller and solar shades, cellular shades and natural woven woods. The ease of pressing a button when the sun gets too hot or the convenience of having treatments on a timer are upgrades that many homeowners feel are worth the money.

 There are so many reasons that people want motorization in their homes. In the next few paragraphs, we will consider 5 of the best benefits of having motorized shades in your home.

1. Motorized Treatments Increase Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a top priority for many homeowners. Cellular and blackout roller shades already offer increased insulation. Add a programmable timer that ensures insulation at the right times of the day and night, and the savings on energy bills increases.

 2. Long-Term Money Savings

Shades also offer protection from sun damage to floors and furniture. Programming can be set to lower shades during the most intense part of the day. This can occur even when you are not home to do this manually. No only are you saving on energy bills but they also offer protection of furniture, floors and fabrics within your home.

 3. Motorized Treatments are Always Child-Safe

Child safety has been brought to the forefront by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. All window treatments should adhere to their guidelines so that little to no cords are within reach of children. And shades without cords of any kind are the best option. Which is why motorization is perfect for homes with children or frequently visiting grandchildren.

 4. Motorized Treatments Give You Room to Grow

Motorized shades are often the best option for windows that are difficult or impossible to reach. Such as those two-story windows that allow glaring sun in every afternoon or the window that is above the garden tub that you have to step into each day to open and close. And as a person's mobility decreases over time, motorized treatments allow continued ease of use for many years to come.

 5. Better Privacy & Security

Living in urban areas can be a wonderful experience. But with all the conveniences of living close to others and near retail centers also comes the lack of privacy in our homes. Whether in an apartment building, town home, patio home or single family dwelling, residences are closer together which warrents window coverings to offer privacy as well as security. Motorized treatments are perfect because they can be programmed to operated even when you are not home so that passersby can’t see that you are arriving home alone. They can also be raised after you have left for the day giving the impression that someone is still home.

These are just a few of the ways that motorized window treatments add value to a client's home. There is a greater monetary investment up front, but that investment pays off long into the future. Today's designs not only offer the benefits listed above they are also beautiful!
