Easily Adjust Hard-to-Reach Window Treatments

When you think of the windows in your home, how many of those treatments are hard to reach? Ceiling-high windows present a big problem when you want privacy or need to protect your home from solar heat gain but can’t reach the cord to adjust the blinds. When you upgrade to motorized shades, you can ditch the step stool and simply press a button to adjust your shades exactly where you want them.

Manual window treatments are finicky enough, but they can be even more difficult to adjust for the elderly or people with disabilities. By replacing strings and cords with a remote, keypad, or mobile app, you’ll greatly reduce any hassle and make it easy for everyone to adjust the shades and blinds throughout your home.

 

Trick Intruders into Thinking You’re Home

Not only can you control your motorized window treatments with a single press of a button, but you can also schedule them to lift and lower on a timer while you’re at work or away on vacation.

Before leaving your home, you likely close all your blinds to keep your property protected from sunrays and outside passersby. But if your blinds stay closed for too long, potential intruders may assume you’re not home and find it the perfect time to attempt a break-in. Trick intruders by scheduling your window treatments to lift and lower at certain intervals to create the illusion that you’re home. You’ll feel safer about leaving for an extended period, and criminals will think again before attempting intrusion.

 

Wake Up with More Energy

Many homeowners invest in blackout shades for their bedroom to help with sleep, but few homeowners know that those manual blackout shades may be doing more harm than good. While light-blocking shades serve many positive purposes, they could unknowingly harm your body’s internal clock that tells you when it’s time to wake up and when to rest.

We don’t mean you should do away with blackout window treatments. They help protect your valuable artwork, furnishings, and keep your smart home cool during peak summer months! Instead, we recommend you replace them with motorized blackout shades, so you can schedule them to lift on their own every morning so that you don’t wake up to a dark room.

When you create the right lighting conditions at the right time, your brain will know to produce the hormone that makes you feel energized once that burst of natural light shines in from under your shades. Before you know it, you’ll find that waking up in the morning is much easier, and you’ll have more energy throughout the day.
