Motorized window treatments are growing in popularity. 

Today’s motorized shades can often be adjusted with a remote, or smartphone app.

Many systems can also be programmed to open and close automatically at certain times of day. That can be especially useful for windows that are tall, hard to reach, or exposed to strong afternoon sun.

For example, shades can be scheduled to lower during the hottest part of the day to help reduce heat entering the home. They can then open again later to bring in more natural light. 

Motorized shades can also add an extra layer of security when you’re away by opening and closing on a schedule, helping the home look occupied. 

Draperies often are tall and cumbersome to open and close. Motorizing the rod can offer solutions to draperies that are hard to reach.

Another advantage is that many newer systems can work with existing smart home technology, including whole home automation systems. Many customers choose to control the blinds with Alexa or Siri. 

What was once considered a luxury upgrade is quickly becoming a practical option for everyday homes.
