The Top 4 Reasons for Getting Motorized Shades
Motorized Shades Are a Rational Choice
You might think that motorized shades are a luxury, and you wouldn’t be wrong. They are a luxurious touch to a smart home and are incredibly convenient to use on a daily basis. But beyond luxury and convenience, there are perfectly rational reasons to justify motorized shades and window treatments for your Henderson home. Our sunny Nevada climate is wonderful, but too much sun streaming into your home has its issues.

Manage the Heat
Henderson gets many sunny days year-round, but heat builds quickly inside homes in the late spring to early fall. Naturally, we have air conditioning, but we don't want to overwork our systems. Motorized shades can help in several ways. First, motorized push-button control means it's easy to lower shades when the sun is strongest in the late afternoon. With manual shades, it would be tedious to do, and you might not get to it on a busy day. Whether you are home or not, your motorized shades can lower to keep heat gain out. Moreover, you can also use different material opacities to filter the sun, so even when lowered, you enjoy some natural light. Your AC system will last longer, and your energy bills will also be lighter.
Control Privacy and Security
Sometimes you want the light streaming into your bedroom and bath, and sometimes you want privacy. With motorized shades, it’s easy. You can press a button or use a voice command to raise or lower your shades. If you stick to the same routine every day, you can put them on a schedule to happen automatically. When you leave home, you can automate your shades to lower when you arm the alarm system for a more secure home. And when you return, they can rise to greet you to a brighter house. At bedtime, all your shades and window treatments can lower and close to create a private environment for sleep.
Protect Your Furnishings
Too much exposure to UV rays can harm flooring, furniture, fabrics, and the interior of your home. You can keep your window treatments closed up tight during sunny days, but that doesn’t create an inviting space. The ease of motorized shades lets you manage the sun to limit exposure on expensive furnishings, extending their life. You can do it on a schedule or even use heat sensors to trigger your shades to lower.
