Let’s explore how smart shades can upgrade your life in both form and function.
What Are Smart Window Treatments?
Smart window tech are shades, blinds, or shutters that can be controlled through remote, voice, app, or full home automation systems. They eliminate the need for cords or manual operation and instead offer on-demand or scheduled control.
- Remote controls or wall switches
- Voice integration with Alexa, Google, or Siri
- Smartphone app operation
- Integration with smart home systems (like Control4, SmartThings, and Apple HomeKit)
- Scheduled open/close automation
- Sunlight or temperature sensors
These window treatments don’t just look sleek—they make everyday living simpler.
Why Go Smart? Benefits of Motorized Window Treatments
Upgrading to motorized blinds for home is about more than just tech appeal. Here’s why automated window shades are one of the best investments you can make for your home:
1. Effortless Convenience
Whether you’re raising the blinds for a sunrise or closing them from bed at night, smart controls make it all hands-free. Set your schedule and let the blinds do the rest.
2. Energy Efficiency
Smart window tech can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Automatically lower your solar shades during peak sun hours, or raise them to warm your home naturally on a winter day.
3. UV Protection
Protect furniture, floors, and artwork from sun damage. With smart shades, you can control light exposure throughout the day—even when you’re not home.
4. Increased Privacy and Security
Heading out of town? Schedule your shades to move as if someone’s home. Combine that with smart lighting and you’ve got a powerful deterrent against break-ins.
5. Cordless = Child and Pet Safe
Cordless lift systems reduce hazards in homes with kids and pets. Combine safety with sleek design—it’s a win-win.
What Smart Shades Are Right for You?
Not all smart window treatments are created equal. At Made in the Shade East Louisville, we offer a wide selection of motorized options, from roller shades to natural woven woods. Here’s a breakdown:
