EXPLORE THE EXTREME CONVENIENCE & BEAUTY OF MOTORIZED SHADES

Did you know that window shades began appearing in homes in America over 240 years ago? The forerunner of today's roller shades came along about 100 years later. Can you imagine what those first inventors would think about today’s technology? Window coverings that automatically raise and lower or open and close with the touch of a button would seem nothing short of magic!

Today’s motorized shades have become one of the most sought-after smart home automation systems for good reason. In addition to incredible convenience, they protect a home’s interior, reduce energy costs, and enhance safety. They provide beauty and elegance, lowering in perfect alignment with no effort on your part, activated by the sun’s rays or increasing temperature. Magic may be an understatement.

Let’s explore the latest features in smart window coverings and how it's transforming homes in Well, ME, and the surrounding areas.

AUTOMATED FOR EFFORTLESS LIVING 

Many of our clients think back to when they had to manually adjust every window covering—amazed by how this one technology could change their daily lives in such remarkable ways. Before motorized window shades, many closed the shades when the direct sunlight caused glare or heat gain, leaving them that way for the rest of the day. 

And they’re not alone. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, about 75% of residential window coverings remain in the same position every day. 

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to forget to take advantage of daylight or lower the blinds for privacy. Motorized shades do the job of managing daylight, energy, and privacy for you. 

Some of the many automated responses we’ve programmed for our clients include:

• Shades that open with the first morning light
• Window coverings that raise and lower throughout the day based on the sun’s position and temperature
• West-facing shades that open at sunset
• Blackout shades that lower when the movie starts
• South-facing shades that lower in the summer’s heat and raise during winter’s cold
• Window coverings that close when evening arrives

As with most automated technology, it’s the customized approach that makes all the difference. At SmartHome Solutions, Inc., we take the time to understand your lifestyle and program a system that aligns with your many activities and moods.

ONE TOUCH CONTROL 

You can also manage your shades with one touch or voice control. Press a keypad or remote and adjust one or every shade in your home. Did you forget to lower the shades when you left for the day? Pull up the app on your mobile device, and close the window coverings no matter where you are.
