Are Smart Shades Worth It?
Whenever we make a big purchase, we often ask whether or not it is worth it. This is an excellent rule of thumb when it comes to managing our finances - after all, buyer’s remorse is real, and it is unpleasant to experience. If you have landed on this article, that most likely means that you are considering adding smart shades to your home and wondering whether or not they are worth the investment.
While automated shades look cool to your friends, family, and neighbors, who stop by, they provide various benefits that might surprise you. Motorized shades can help increase the security of your home, reduce your home’s energy bills, and even give you a little bit more time back in your day to enjoy the things you love the most.
Enjoy Increased Security
Have you ever left your home and forgotten to shut the shades? If you’re lucky, you’ll have enough time to turn around and close them. However, if you are strapped for time or you are on vacation across the country, it’s not as simple as turning the car around.
Leaving your window treatments open while you are away from home can pose a serious security risk. Additionally, robbers might watch to see if the window treatments in your home move positions to determine whether or not somebody’s in the house. In terms of safety, we believe that smart shades are entirely worth it. PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas can adjust your window treatments from anywhere in the world via the PowerView® App.
Additionally, you can set up a schedule that automatically adjusts your shades throughout the day to make it look like you are home.
Achieve Lower Energy Bills
In addition to increased security, Hunter Douglas automated shades can also help reduce your home’s energy bills while keeping your home comfortable throughout the year. For example, if your home is freezing in the wintertime, PowerView® Automation can open your window treatments during the peak of the day to let in some warm sunshine.
On the other hand, PowerView® Automation can also close your shades when the sun is at its highest during the summer to keep your home cooler naturally. Over time, this can help reduce your home’s energy bills.
Indulge in "You" Time
Another reason why we think automated shades are worth the investment is that they can help give you more time to do things you love. Instead of running around in the morning adjusting your window treatments, you can rely on an automatic schedule to open and shut your shades while you enjoy your coffee or eat breakfast with your family.
At night, you can close your window treatments with a tap of a button and enjoy movie time with your family instead of worrying about whether that street lamp is going to cause glare on your screen. No matter what you like to do throughout the day, you can do more of it knowing that your window treatments will be automatically adjusted without you having to run around your home.
