/in , /by

What You Need to Know About Automated Shading

Shades let you take control of your home’s natural lighting. From letting in the natural sunlight to blocking out the harsh rays – to saving energy by creating insulation – you can transform a space with blinds. But often times, many homeowners don’t take advantage of their manual shading because of the added effort it requires.


Lowering the blinds by hand and raising them back up throughout the day just isn’t convenient and doesn’t fit into your routine. Plus, what about those hard-to-reach shades covering your beautiful bay windows or skylights?

In this blog, we’ll dive into motorized window shades and how they can elevate your entire Lewes, DE, living space. Bring luxury to your daily life with this integrated solution – find out more!

Offer Luxurious Convenience

Taking the time to roll down your manual shades and blinds can feel like more effort than it’s worth. You might struggle to get the ride side of your blinds down, or not be able to reach it at all – resulting in frustration and leaving you with an unraised or lowered shade that you didn’t want.

So imagine operating your shades with just a push of a button. Motorized shading makes this a reality. You may not realize just how much convenience and luxury this smart solution adds to your everyday life. Using a smart device, whether it’s your smartphone, wall keypad, remote, touchpad, or tablet, you can raise or lower your shades with ease – and in mere seconds.

Now you can enjoy the views that your home’s windows offer at any moment with zero hassle. No need to keep adjusting the blinds just right to ensure they’re all the way rolled up – your automated shades do all the work.

With installed photosensors, your shades can also know to roll down when the sun is shining directly into your home. There a variety of shade materials and patterns to choose from, even ones with sheer fabrics that let you still enjoy a view without the harmful sun rays shining into the room.

Protect Your Valuables

By having your shades automatically lower when the sunlight is directly hitting your interiors, you can protect your home from UV rays that could permanently damage your delicate artwork and antique furniture.

Your sensors will let your shades know when to lower and when it’s okay to raise back up again. These will keep your personal items and valuables safe from the sun when it’s at its most intense. And you won’t have to worry about figuring out when that is. Your shades will respond accordingly, so you don’t have to mess with the blinds yourself.

This is also beneficial for when you’re about to watch a movie and then the sun brings a harsh glare across your 4K television. With dual shading, your media room’s sheer shades can raise up, and your blackout shades can lower to envelop you in darkness – perfect for a movie viewing. It’s the best of both worlds with your automated window treatments.

Save Energy

Motorized shades aren’t just great for convenience and comfort – they can also help you reduce your carbon footprint. During any season, your shades can provide the necessary insulation for your home.

With an “air gap” created between the shade and the window when it’s installed, you can keep your home cool or warmed up, depending on the time of year. Pair your shades with your smart thermostat, and any time there is a change in degrees, your shades can know to lower or raise and balance out the internal temperatures. This keeps your HVAC from overworking and saves energy and money.

Honeycomb shades have built-in air gaps and are perfect for insulation while adding a traditional appearance to any room. During the summer, you can also use roller blinds with silver backing to reflect the sunlight away from your interiors – keeping your home cool and comfortable.

Change How You Entertain

You can instantly transform the mood of any room just by adjusting its lighting.  And when you’re hosting a dinner party or inviting lots of friends over, you’ll want to make sure a space has the perfect atmosphere.

In your living room or media room, the amount of light you let in can be crucial.  If you have a TV show or game on, you’ll want to keep the room dim by lowering your shades.

With dual shading, you can also install blackout shades to bring down if you’re about to start a movie night.  Your friends and family can enjoy the films in complete darkness, as if they’re watching them in the cinema.

Later, if everyone drifts to another activity in the room or decided to play music, you can let in more light by simply pressing a button.

Your shades will lower or rise exactly when and where you want them to – you can even set “scenes” in your smart home.  For example, when you turn on the TV, your blackout shades can then automatically lower themselves without you even thinking twice.

Increase Your Privacy

Sometimes, the rooms you need the most privacy have lots of windows in them.  Windows are lovely in your bedroom or bathrooms, but when you’d like to conceal them, motorized shades don’t even require you to lift a finger.

Set your shades to lower at certain hours or if you turn on the lights in your bathroom.  Even throughout the house, you can enhance your privacy and security by setting all the shades in your home to lower once the sun sets.

You’ll feel safer, and won’t have to remember on your own to lower the shades before going to bed every evening!

Easy to Control

Not only are your automated shades luxurious, but they also aren’t in the least bit complex to manage.  With just one centralized source, you can operate your system.

Using any smart device, whether it be your smartphone, tablet, or wall panel, you can just press a button and have your shades at your command always.

You don’t ever have to walk over to the shades themselves to manually adjust them or figure out how to move them – your smart device puts all the power in your own hands.

Roll Up Easily – at Any Time

Sometimes a cloud moves away from the sun and causes a huge glare on your flat screen – ruining a film or TV show.

All you want is to enjoy your time away at your second home, but how can you avoid these light hindrances?

With a simple press of a button, you can lower your shades to cover your windows completely.  When the sun has moved, all it takes is another push of the button on your smart device to raise them back up again.

If you don’t have your smartphone or tablet near you, or don’t want to have to worry about when you’ll adjust the shades, you can also set them on a schedule.

Set them lower at certain times of the day, or have them sense when the sun’s intensity is at its strongest, and they will lower and rise according to the brightness.

The Right Aesthetics and Décor

You might worry that automated shading will ruin your home’s interior design.  But there are so many fabrics, styles, and patterns to choose from, that the choices are endless.

Dual shading means you can also pick a practical “blackout” shade so when you’re ready to watch a movie you can shut out all the light.  You can then pair this shade with a more appealing and aesthetically pleasing one for everyday use.

Keep Everything Safe While You’re Away

As you leave your vacation home, you don’t have to worry about the sun shining through and damaging your furniture, pictures, or artwork.  The shades will protect them and prevent solar heat gain when you’re gone.

You can also set your shades to still follow your daily or weekly schedules of lowering and raising up at certain times.  This way, your home will look lived-in year round and keep burglars and robbers away and from thinking it’s a prime target.

Motorized shades can change how you live in and enjoy your second living space.  Want to learn more about this smart technology?  We’d love to hear from you!
