SAVE ENERGY & ADD CONVENIENCE WITH AUTOMATED SHADING
Most window coverings are operable, and yet 75% of manual window coverings remain in the same position every day, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy. Installing automated shading in your home or business offers a dynamic solution to consistently control sunlight throughout the day, promoting improved energy efficiency and increasing natural light. Blackout roller shades operate based on daylight hours, influencing circadian rhythms and improving sleep, while smart blinds adjust their angle according to the sun's position or your preferences. Automated shades and blinds provide numerous benefits:
Ensure family privacy by automatically closing at night, preventing outsiders from peering into your home.
​
Save money by managing sunlight entry, keeping your home cool in summer and capturing warmth in winter.
​
Enhance energy efficiency when paired with smart thermostats and climate control systems
​
​Wake up naturally with gradual morning openings for a comfortable start to the day.
Save time by adjusting all shades at once, rather than individually.
​
Preserve furnishings, floors, and artwork by regulating natural light exposure.
​
​Conserve electricity when combined with smart lighting, achieving the ideal natural light balance.
Once installed, control your automated shades or blinds through a mobile app, remote control, voice commands, timers, or automatic schedules.

BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED BLINDS & ROLLER SHADES
COST SAVINGS & ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Automated blinds and roller shades offer cost savings and energy efficiency by adjusting to the sun's presence throughout the day and changing seasons. During summer, automated blinds can be programmed to block strong rays, keeping your home cooler and optimizing energy consumption. In winter, automated schedules and sensors utilize the sun's heat, opening and closing blinds throughout the day. Sensors maximize natural light, reducing the need for electricity. Some options come with solar-powered batteries, allowing blinds and roller shades to charge on renewable energy.
CONVENIENCE
Control your home remotely using a mobile app to open, close, and adjust your window treatments. While at home, utilize the app, voice commands, or a single button/remote to manage your automated shades. Effortlessly control an entire room, level, or all automated shades with one button, leveraging automatic settings or timers for energy efficiency. Open the bedroom shades or the entire house from bed in the morning.
SAFETY
Opt for wireless options to eliminate concerns related to power cables, drawstrings, or pull cords. Wireless solutions provide peace of mind by keeping toddlers and infants safe from potential hazards and preventing pets from interfering with blinds or shades. Connect automated blinds and roller shades with your home security system for added features, such as automatic vacation settings that mimic your presence. Ensure privacy at home with automatic nighttime settings.
