Operate Hard-to-Reach Windows

Large windows are a rising trend in modern homes because they let in ample natural light and help homeowners feel more connected to the outdoors. But ceiling-high windows are also hard to cover when you need privacy or want to keep out heat from the sun. Plus, when you have dozens of high windows throughout your property, it takes a lot of time and effort to adjust your shades by hand.

When you cover your windows with powered blinds or shades, adjusting them throughout the day is effortless for the whole family. Using a sleek wall keypad, a mobile app, or even your voice. Command groups of shades to open, close, or raise and lower to a certain height in one room or throughout the entire home. Say goodbye to getting out that stool to manage hard-to-reach windows.

Get More Use Out of Your Spaces

Light is key to helping us perform tasks and enjoy activities at home. For example, peak daylight is great for working or reading, but that same light would ruin a movie-watching party. Motorized window treatments can help you get more use out of a space by controlling your exposure to daylight.

Motorized room-darkening shades can transform a bright living room into a dark media room during the day when you want to enjoy a film. Translucent shades turn the harsh glare of the sun into a soft, filtered glow in the kitchen or bathrooms where you may want natural light to see but still need privacy.

Increase Your Home’s Security

Now that travel is picking up, you may be ready for a much-needed vacation. Still, leaving your property may feel stressful after being home for so long. Motorized window treatments can help improve your peace of mind by adjusting on their own to make your home look occupied to outside passersby.

When your window treatments are integrated into a Savant or Lutron home control system, you can schedule your blinds and shades to open in the morning, lower in the afternoon, and close at night—or follow another schedule that matches your everyday routine. Check the status of your shades remotely via the Savant Pro or Lutron Connect app and adjust them as needed, no matter where you are.

Add Value to Your Property

There’s no denying the wow factor that motorized window treatments bring to any home. The ability to adjust any shade in any space—or all of them at once—with a simple tap or voice command is a luxurious smart home feature that offers a world of advantages. Additionally, all shading styles and materials from Lutron and Savant are of the highest quality and complement any interior design.

A significant upgrade from manual blinds and shades, motorized window treatments combine superior functionality with an elegant aesthetic, improving the look and feel of any home. Choose from hardwood blinds, roman shades, honeycomb shades, roller shades, motorized drapes, and more.
