Insulate Your Whole Home with Motorized Window Treatments

Whether you’re relaxing after a long day at work or hosting friends for a dinner party, there’s no doubt that you want to feel comfortable in your own home. Keeping your home’s temperature at an ideal degree is essential but not always feasible if you don’t want your HVAC system working overtime.

So how can you avoid your home’s shifting climate on those hot summer days or mild chilly winter evenings? If you have many windows throughout your property, then you’ll notice that heat and cool air will escape through them and keep your HVAC working to compensate for the loss.

This unnecessarily wastes energy and increases your monthly bills. The solution here is to install motorized window treatments throughout your Miami, FL home.

Insulation for Your Entire Property

Large windows can offer incredible views and add elegance to any home design, but these windows can also help heat or cool air escape your house with ease. Your HVAC system will work doubly to accommodate the lowered or increased internal temperatures.

Motorized window treatments can offer insulation that keeps your whole home feeling comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside. Shades are designed to provide insulation based on how they’re installed. When the shade is put into place, the “air gap” between the fabric and the glass is the insulation needed to keep heat or cool air trapped in your home. The heavier your drapes or shade fabric, the better insulation provided – just like how a heavier blanket keeps you warm or blocks out the sun.

Of the various Lutron shading solutions we install, honeycomb shades are the most energy efficient and are specifically designed for insulation. Their pleated pockets have their own “air gaps” throughout the shade itself – adding an extra layer of protection for your ideal indoor temperature.

Regulate Your Home’s Temperature Seamlessly

While installed window treatments provide added insulation, how can you make sure your temperature stays exactly where you want it – without having to adjust it throughout the day?

We can integrate your motorized window treatments with the rest of your smart home system to work in tandem with your smart thermostats so that your home always remains at your ideal level of coziness.

Let’s say your home’s temperature rises a few degrees. Your smart thermostat can then lower it back down just a bit, turning on your A/C. But installed temperature sensors will also alert your shades to lower – keeping out the hot sun and trapping the cool air inside to bring balance back to your internal temperature quickly. Your HVAC system can then stop and take a break from running extensively. Now you can rely on your shades and climate control to work together to keep your whole space at an ideal temperature without having to lift a finger.
