Custom Made Motorized Window Treatments
With “Luxury” and “Insulation” always in the hearts of South Florida homeowners, it is no surprise that many of them prefer motorized window treatments. Thanks to their energy-saving and light-controlling features, the future of motorized window treatments is beyond bright. It gets even brighter as Florida continuously maintains a high standing in the trend of smart home automation, making smart window treatments a must-have in modern homes.
Motorized window treatments offer numerous advantages. They provide a modern and luxurious touch to your home, enhance energy efficiency, and allow for precise control over sunlight exposure. With automation, you can make your window covers follow a schedule or react to sunlight, and they will operate seamlessly every day without the hassle of manual operation.
The Rise of Home Automation
Home automation has seen a significant surge in popularity, with smart home devices becoming increasingly accessible. Robots can clean our floors, dishwashers can clean our dishes, and thermostats can maintain a comfortable home temperature. These advancements extend to window treatments, where convenience is paramount. Motorized window treatments offer an unparalleled level of control, allowing homeowners to adjust lighting and privacy with the push of a button or a simple voice command.
Why Choose Motorized Treatments?
Home Security:
While you are away on vacation or at work, you can schedule your window treatments to open and close at specific times, creating the illusion that someone is home. This adds to the safety of your home - as burglars frequently look for evidence of an empty house.
Motorized window treatments can be linked to home security systems. If an intrusion is detected, your window treatments can react accordingly by closing to prevent the intruder from seeing inside.
Child and pet Safety:
Traditional window treatments with cords can pose a risk to children and pets. With motorized window treatments, there are no cords or strings for children or pets to get tangled in, making them a safer option for your home.
The absence of cords also means there's nothing for curious hands or paws to play with, which can help prevent accidental damage to your window treatments.
Remote Window Accessibility:
No more rushing to close the blinds before the afternoon sun reaches your precious furniture. With automation, you can control your window coverings from anywhere, even while you're gone. You can plan your blinds to adjust themselves automatically at different times of the day.
Increase Resale Value:
Integrating automation into your windows can greatly boost your home's market value if you want to sell in the future, particularly in a market like South Florida where homeowners take energy efficiency, luxury, and convenience seriously. Imagine showing prospective tech-savvy buyers how your blinds automatically adjust to the sun's position. This upgrade could potentially increase the marketability of your property and help it stand out in a competitive real estate market.
Integrating Motorized Window Treatments
Into Your Home
To seamlessly integrate motorized window treatments into your home, consider the following factors:
Compatibility with Smart Home Systems:
Do you already have a Google Home or Amazon Alexa smart home device? If you do, ensure that your chosen window treatments can easily integrate with your existing smart home ecosystem for centralized control. Be specific to whoever you're buying from because if your systems are incompatible, you may have trouble controlling them later.
Power Source Options:
Your unique needs and the accessibility of your windows will determine the power source you use for your motorized window coverings. Here is a breakdown of the most common choices:
Battery-powered: These are simple to install and do not require electrical wiring. You can choose between built-in rechargeable batteries, external rechargeable batteries and non-rechargeable batteries.
Wired Powered: This is simply power from the home's power supply rather than using a battery or a solar panel, it is wired directly to your home.
Solar-powered: Solar-powered motorized window treatments are an environmentally beneficial choice. They would make a good match for the blazing Florida sun.
Keeping Your Motorized Window Treatments Running Smoothly
Here's how to ensure your motorized blinds, shades, or drapes stay in top shape for years to come
Regular Cleaning:
Dust is the enemy of efficient operation! Keep your window treatments dust-free and clean to maintain their appearance and functionality. To remove dust from fabric surfaces, use a soft microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. For minor spills or stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or too much water, as they can damage the motor and electrical parts.
Battery Replacement or Electrical Checkups:
Replace batteries in battery-operated motorized treatments on a regular basis to prevent unplanned outages. For information on the suggested battery type and replacement schedule, refer to your user handbook or speak to a professional.
Software Updates:
Some modern motorized window coverings now have software updates available. These updates resolve issues, add new features, or improve the functionality of your smart home system.
