Upgrading to Motorized Shades
Upgraded shades not only elevate your interior style with a new visual component, but they also play a key role in how you utilize your space-even how you heat or cool your home. Window treatments can help homeowners create a comfortable, welcoming home environment that is easier to control thanks to the regulation of light and heat by the way they open and close their shades.
Maybe you don’t spend a lot of time considering your window treatments. At Abbey Carpet of Maui, let us help you give your room an updated feel with new window shades that feel like more than just an afterthought. If it’s time for you to update your home’s window treatments don’t just get a replacement-get an upgrade. Since window shades are so integral to a room’s ambiance and regulating its atmosphere, upgrading to motorized roller shades can be well worth it for many homeowners.
Benefits of Upgrading to Motorized Roller Shades
For Hunter Douglas window treatments, PowerView® Automation is the latest operating system available in its third generation. Great for motorized shades, this motorized window treatment system adds precision, convenience, and a range of benefits for homeowners investing in upgrading to motorized roller shades.
1. Easy Control
One of the most desirable benefits of upgrading to motorized shades-including our selection of roller shades-is the convenience of control that motorization offers. Instead of fumbling with tangled lines, homeowners can control their roller shades with the press of a button or even through voice command (if the home is equipped with a compatible home assistant or smart home program). There are even options for automated scheduling when upgrading to motorized roller shades so that homeowners don’t even have to think about their window shades, and yet they get all the benefits of a high-performance window treatment.
2. Better Efficiency
When window shades can effectively block incoming sunlight, they help to increase the home’s overall energy efficiency by preventing the uncontrolled rise or drop in interior temperature that natural sunlight can cause. So, whether homeowners are trying to keep the heat out in the summer or in, in the winter, smart roller shades can help. The effects are amplified when going with insulated styles of roller shades like Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades with a cellular honeycomb design.
3. Child Safety
Upgrading to motorized roller shades means doing away with the lift cords and loose lines of traditional shades. Cordless window treatments are safer for both young children and small pets who can become entangled in cords and risk strangulation. And not only does going cordless create a more child safe environment, it also gives the shade itself a clean, polished look by doing away with messy, unkempt cords.
4. Privacy & Security
Guarding against unwanted intrusion from outside gazes is a major benefit of upgrading to motorized roller shades as they provide privacy and enhance security. Never worry that window shades have been left open with smart shades that can automatically close when privacy is needed. Motorized roller shades can also provide the illusion of occupation when residents are away through scheduled movement and unfettered access with programs like the PowerView app that can be accessed from anywhere in the world with Wi-Fi.
