A Day in the Life with Motorized Window Shades

Why would you want motorized window shades in your Buckhead home? There's undeniable convenience in pushing a button without getting up or going to each window and opening and closing your shades and window treatments to precise positions. But sometimes, you just have to envision what it's like to have them and what a difference they can make. So let's take a few words below to imagine what it's like to live with motorized shades in your Georgia home.

Waking Up

Sometimes getting out of bed is hard. Motorized shades might make it a little easier. Did you know you can do double shades with a motorized blackout shade? In the morning, your shades can be coordinated with your alarm to gently rise and let in the morning light. Start with the blackout shade, and a few minutes later, raise the decorative shade if you still need help being coaxed out of a warm, cozy slumber. Natural light is a powerful agent in our daily rhythms, and using it to awaken gently is an excellent start to the day. 

Start the Day

As you walk to the kitchen for your morning coffee, the shades and window treatments in the kitchen and adjoining family room open to brighten the spaces. But not completely, so you have some privacy in the morning and limit glare. With lighting control and smart automation, your lights are synchronized with your window shades to enable the perfect balance of natural and artificial light to go about your morning routine in the kitchen.

Leaving Home

Whether heading to work, taking kids to school, or doing a morning workout or yoga, you won't have to expend any effort on your window shades. If everyone is gone, your shades can lower for privacy and security. You can even coordinate them with a security alarm and cameras to ensure greater safety. Plus, if it's summer in Georgia, your closed window treatments can limit heat gain from the sun and ease the strain on the air conditioning system. 

Returning Home

When you come home, your shades can rise to allow the afternoon light. But if you have a harsh western exposure in summer, you could change the seasonal programming to do that later in the day. Depending on your rooms, windows, exposures, views, and privacy preferences, you can program all window shades to let in as much or as little light as you want from outside. 

Bedtime

When it's time for bed, there is no need to draw any shades or window treatments closed. Whether it's on a schedule or when you press a bedtime button on a wall keypad or touchscreen controller, your window shades close for privacy and completely darken your bedrooms for privacy and sleep.
