In this day and age, it seems as though every new year brings with it new advancements in technology that continually enhance and improve products and services, offering innovative new approaches to daily life. Once the subject of science-fiction films, ‘smart homes’ of the future are now becoming a more accessible reality than ever before thanks to recent innovations in technology and manufacturing. No longer exclusive to the rich and famous, motorized window treatments have now become an affordable and practical way of transforming any house into a smart home.

Motorized window treatments offer the convenience of raising or lowering blinds at the touch of a button without the messy strings and tangles of cords. Ultra-quiet operation makes them ideal for home interiors, reducing glare and giving your home’s design a sleek and tailored look. With control options ranging from wireless wall switches to hand-held remotes, motorized window treatments work perfectly for maintaining privacy even on those hard-to-reach windows – having your home instantly feeling intimate and comfortable without sacrificing light control or ambiance. For added convenience, store you preferred settings on your remote for instant control or use a time-schedule setting to coordinate preferences throughout the day. Third-party systems can help take this security and convenience a step further by allowing you to control operation over your smartphone or computer even when you’re away from home.

Not only has new technology made these features more affordable and accessible than ever, but also has increased efficiency like never before. Available solar pack options can now power your new motorized window treatments completely wirelessly by converting the sun’s light into electrical energy – a maintenance free and environmentally friendly way to add luxury and drama to any room. Quickly transform an ordinary living room into a cinema style theater with the touch of a button using motorized draperies without cords and tangles that can pose dangerous safety risks for small children.

Motorized window treatments are the latest innovation in home design for this coming year, with no better time than now to capitalize on a practical and cost-effective renovation project to increase your home’s value. With unparalleled design, convenience, safety, and energy-saving benefits motorized window treatments bring your home’s technology to the 21^st century like never before.
