You Can Do a Motorized Shade on That Window?
8 Motorized Shade Styles for Your Henderson Home
In our opinion, motorized shades are a must for the modern smart home. Some people, however, seem to hold on to misconceptions about motorized shading. One of them is that the only style you can get is a rolling shade.
We can disciple that notion here, as the word shade itself might be a bit of a misnomer. There are several other styles of powered window treatments for your Henderson, NV home. Fusion Home Systems works with Lutron for lighting control and motorized shading, as they are the industry leader in both categories with best-of-breed solutions. Let us tell you about the eight types of motorized window treatments for your Henderson, NV home.

Roller Shades
Roller shades are the most popular type of powered window treatment. However, you might not know that there is an incredible variety of materials to choose from, from sheer to blackout. Moreover, you can install double-powered shades for light filtering and blackout in a bedroom or media room. With Lutron's exclusive Hembar Alignment system, your shades will rise and lower in harmonious synchronization.
Honeycomb Shades
The honeycomb style is prized for its insulating properties. It can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter by reducing cool or warm air loss through windows. Lutron control makes it easy to raise them to enjoy a desert or golf course view when it's time for them to reveal the window.
Horizontal Sheer Blinds
Sheers are excellent for filtering light and creating privacy without darkness. Lutron control can tilt the vanes at the touch of a button, letting you add just the right amount of natural light for comfort.
Wood Blinds
Many love the classic look of wood blinds, but not the fussy string controls. Lutron does away with that, using quiet motors to tilt blinds to within 1/16 of an inch. You can also set presets to raise them, tilt them, or however you want to control them according to a room’s sun exposure.
Roman Shades
Roman shades are an interior designer favorite for elegance and simplicity. With Lutron, you can choose your own material to create custom, powered window treatments. You'll be able to control them by voice, apps, elegant wall keypads, schedules, or your home automation system.
Drapes
You might not be surprised that heavier drapes can be motorized, too; they’ve been used in residences and commercial environments for some time. Traditional styles available include pinch pleat and ripplefold, and Lutron also offers the innovative Kirbé vertical system that lifts drapes up for a streamlined look that lets in the view.
Tensioned Shades
You might think some windows like skylights would be hard to shade with power. Tensioned shades using cables can go fully horizontal or at other angles. Lutron’s innovative design minimizes the light gaps around the fabric and eliminates cable guides found in different skylight shades to maximize the light and view when opened.
Cable Guided Shades
Cable-guided systems allow for precise control for angled applications, keeping shades in line with the window's exact angle. They are also useful in maintaining shades in place when there is significant airflow.
There’s a motorized shade for practically any window in your home. To learn more about motorized window treatment options for your Henderson home, reach out to the team at Fusion Home Systems today! We look forward to working with you.
