Top Reasons to Consider Motorized Window Treatments

21 Oct Top Reasons to Consider Motorized Window Treatments

Once considered a novelty only available to the rich or famous, motorized window treatments have become very popular with both residential and commercial spaces. Not only are motorized and automated window covering solutions aesthetically appealing, but they are also practical and beneficial.

Here are a few reasons you should consider motorized window treatments for your space:

1. They make your home and office easily accessible.

Maybe the windows you are looking to add your custom window treatments to are large and expansive or are in difficult to reach places, motorization allows you to easily access and control the lighting, glare, and privacy through these windows with a simple touch of a button or a voice command.

In addition, if your space needs to be easily accessible to the elderly or physically disabled, most motorized window solutions are ADA compliant and allow complete independence and ease of operation.

2.  They conserve energy 

There are several ways motorized window treatments can be used to help you save on energy costs. 

Scheduling and programming your shades allow you to control how much light and heat can enter your space, even when you aren’t there. This can help maintain a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature throughout the day without excessive use of your air conditioning system. 

If applicable, you can pair your motorized window with a special sensor that signals them to close and open based on outside temperature and positioning of the sun.  

3.  They are one of the safest options

Not only can cords be unsightly, but they are also a major safety hazard as well. Motorized window treatments help eliminate the need for cords or chains. This is a better option for homes with small children or pets making most motorized solutions certified  “Safe for Kids” by the Window Covering Safety Council.

4.  They are easy to maintain 

Since you won’t need to manually manipulate your motorized window coverings, you will experience less wear and tear, which in turn will require less upkeep.
