Convenience at Your Fingertips with Motorized Shades and Blinds


The biggest benefit that motorized blinds and shades offer is the convenience they offer.

From resting on the couch and having to get up to adjust glare, to walking from room to room as you leave or come home for the day, motorized window coverings do it for you.


Think of the resale value, when you decide if motorized blinds are worth it. If you were moving into a new home, wouldn’t it be nice if the latest and greatest in efficiency were already installed?


With two-way communication technology, you can pair your blinds and shades with your phone or tablet to open and close blinds at your command. Do you have a smart home assistant? These easy to use motorized blinds and shades can even be accessed through your Amazon or Google Home device. Talk about a modern touch!

Motorized Blinds and Shades Make Hard-to-Reach Windows Effortless

Does having high and hard-to-reach windows make having motorized blinds worth it?

Yes! You may have upper-level windows or other hard-to-reach windows that demand the convenience of motorized blinds and shades. No more standing on chairs or pulling a ladder inside. You can simply open and close your blinds with the push of a button. Knowing that you can update your window treatments for those hard-to-reach areas makes life easier for homeowners of any age.

Leaving on vacation? 


The “set it and forget it” ease of motorized blinds and shades make going out of town a breeze. You won’t need to worry about whether it looks like your house is unattended when you enable the technology that motorized blinds and shades offer. With a handy app, you simply set your timers to open and close your blinds at different times of the day.


Your home will appear lived in and deter burglars because just as wide open blinds at night seem odd, so do completely shut blinds on the front of a house on a beautiful day. And even when you are in town, knowing that your blinds will be conveniently shut when coming home from a late dinner or sports game is reassuring.

Seamless Design and Safety

Motorized blinds and shades offer a seamless look without any distraction from cords or wands. Your window treatments will easily blend into your interior design for a modern, flush look. Plus, you have little ones running around, the peace of mind from having ultra safe window treatments is another great benefit.


Automated Efficiency for Everyday Convenience

Still wondering if motorized blinds and shades are worth it? Just think of the ease of using automated timers to open and close your blinds each morning and night. Imagine waking up for the workday with the natural sunlight gently streaming in. And then on a Saturday, getting some extra sleep with your blinds staying shut until a bit later. This automated efficiency of your window treatments opening and closing to control light alone is a reason many of our customers opt for motorized blinds and shades.
