10 Benefits of Automation for Window Treatments

  1. Child Safety: Motorized solutions for window treatments replace the corded systems of traditional shades with a cordless style that is considered more child-safe and pet-friendly, eliminating the strangulation hazard of hanging lines.
  2. Clean Aesthetic: With a cord-free style, motorized shades have a much cleaner look for your home decor sans the messy, tangled lines.
  3. Natural Illumination: Enjoy the money-saving benefits of natural illumination that fills your home with free lighting and helps to make the space feel more open. Automation for window treatments can be set to open in time with the solar rotation of your area.
  4. Better Energy Efficiency: Make sure you’re getting the most from the insulating benefits of window shades with automation that opens and closes shades throughout the day to maximize efficiency.
  5. UV protection: Window shades play a significant role in protecting home furnishings and flooring from UV damage, a duty elevated by motorized solutions for window treatments that ensure shades aren’t accidentally left open and the home exposed.
  6. Security when Away: Automation for window treatments lets homeowners set their shades to open and close when they are away to buoy home security by presenting a facade of occupation.
  7. Natural Alarm Clock: One of the healthiest ways to wake up in the morning is to use natural sunlight, and with motorized Hunter Douglas shades, you can program your window treatments to be open so the morning sun can wake you naturally.
  8. Great for Hard-to-reach Shades: Having motorized shades means never having to touch your window treatments when opening or closing them, making them ideal for hard-to-reach shades.
  9. Privacy: Never worry again that you forgot to close the shades and are exposed in your home with automation for window treatments that can be set to close window shades during private times automatically; this can be especially useful in bedrooms and bathrooms.
  10. Full Integration: With many modern motorized window treatment styles, control can be assimilated into existing home assistant programs or smart home systems so that homeowners can enjoy the easy reliability of fully integrating their window shades into their daily routines.
