The weather's changing, y'all. Whether descending into winter or climbing up to summery peaks, the last thing you want is to be sitting in a room that's an uncomfortable temperature. Window treatments can play a surprisingly significant role in maintaining a healthy and enjoyable temperature for your home.
Our favorite feature: motorized blinds and shades! These devices can make your home comfortable while also being practical and easy to use. Here are nine reasons why motorized shades through Window Magic Blinds & Drapery, Inc. are worth investing in.
Home and Window Automation is One of the Hottest Trends In Home Design
Automation is the next big thing in interior design, and our motorized window treatments aim to lead the way. With this system, you can automatically program your windows to open or close based on factors such as time and day or weather conditions. There are also ways to remotely control these functions from anywhere via an app on your phone or tablet.
Why would someone want their windows automated? Well, for starters, an automated system allows you to save energy costs because the blinds won't remain open if no one is at home during the day when there's plenty of sunlight coming through them (and therefore heat). This also means less stress for homeowners who forget they left their blinds open while at work all day, so now their house is getting hot and stuffy by noon!
That's not where automation ends! You can automate other appliances and lights, so you'll have a more convenient experience in your home. With motorized shades, you can easily control all the windows in your house without any cords at all.
Ease and Convenience for Your Window Treatments
From the comfort of your bed, you can raise and lower your blinds or shades with a simple tap. No cords to get tangled, no remote to lose, and (most importantly) no need to get out of bed. You can open or close your blinds while sitting on your couch watching TV or doing nothing at all!
Motorized Blinds Provide Efficient Temperature Control
Motorized window treatments can be programmed to open and close at specific times, allowing you to control how much sunlight enters your home. This helps you keep it cooler in the summer and warmer during the winter months.
This feature is handy for people who live in climates with seasonal temperature fluctuations or on a street with lots of shade. It's also convenient if you want to control which rooms get natural light during different parts of the day.
Improve Your Sleep Quality
Don't underestimate the importance of sleep. While it may seem like a luxury, good sleep quality is linked to various health benefits, including improved cognitive function, weight loss, and mood. It also helps with recovery from illnesses or injuries and can even help lower your risk for heart disease and stroke!
However, having light in your room at night can disrupt your ability to fall asleep or stay asleep. In fact, studies have shown that even if you aren't looking directly at the light source (such as a TV or computer screen), artificial lighting will still have an impact on your circadian rhythm - your body clock that regulates hormone production in response to day/night cycles - which can lead to poor sleep quality!
Let motorized window treatments control what you can't. While you can't tell the sun not to rise, you can choose whether or not it will interfere with your much-needed rest.
Keep Your Home Safe by Going Cordless
Corded window treatments are a surprisingly potent danger for children and small pets in the home. Cordless design removes the threat from them altogether.
- No more tripping on cords or getting tangled up in blinds that are pulled down too low by accident.
- No need to take special care when walking around your home with your head down, focusing on the floor so as not to trip over any dangling wires. With cordless shades and blinds, nothing is dangling at all!
- No more tugging on curtains or trying to reach high-up window treatments that might be out of reach otherwise (especially if you're short). This can also help prevent injury caused by falling off ladders while trying to change light bulbs or perform other tasks involving height above ground level.
Motorized Blinds Offer Sleek, Elegant Aesthetic Appeal
Beyond safety reasons, going cordless offers a cosmetic upgrade to your home. Your blinds can be customized to match your decor and/or style - now without unsightly cords dangling across your featured windows. They are available in many colors and styles, so you're sure to find something that will complement the rest of your home.
Besides making your windows more aesthetically pleasing than traditional vertical blinds or mini-blinds could ever hope for – motorized windows treatments are also easy-to-clean! A wipedown won't affect the motorization options at all.
Used Motorized Shades to Protect Your Home
Motorized blinds have many benefits. They're quiet, don't require any maintenance, and will help protect your interior furnishings! But did you know that motorized blinds can also help with some of the other things you might be concerned about in life?
- UV protection: Motorized shades give you a way to block out damaging UV rays from the sun, keeping your family and furniture safe from fading and damage.
- Sound insulation: Did you know that opening your windows can harm your health? Not only does it let in allergens, but it allows loud sounds, such as traffic or construction outside, into our homes, causing stress levels to rise significantly within minutes. With motorized blinds installed, you can control how your window treatments function as sound barriers!
Increase Your Homes Market Value
Finally, if you are looking to sell your home, they may help increase its value when it comes time to put it on the market! Since they're such an extravagance and a sign of luxury and sophistication, they can be a great selling point in the future.
Energy Saving Capabilities
In addition to being elegant and convenient, motorized window coverings have many benefits that can improve energy efficiency in your home. Using cellular or honeycomb shades for your motorized shades can significantly impact your monthly energy bill.
