Why Do You Need Motorized Window Shades?

The rooms where such motorized window shades are normally installed include master bed rooms and home theater rooms.  These types of shades can help you control the light coming in through the windows with the touch of few buttons.  Since the window shades of these rooms need to be adjusted frequently, installation of motorized blinds makes it easy and convenient.

There are computer chip controlled motorized blinds available which can be programmed to open and close according to the lighting outside.  This makes the house very secure as outsiders would not be able to see inside the house when it is dark.  The house will appear occupied even if you are away.  These motorized blinds can even be linked to different sensors to open and close according to movements outside the house.

Using light sensors, motorized blinds can be programmed to block sunlight when it becomes too bright. This feature can protect your furniture and other items from exposure to sun.  You can also find semi transparent motorized window shades which allow only a portion of the light to come inside thus protecting people from harsh glare and UV radiation.

Unlike traditional blinds, motorized blinds have no cords or wires to pull which makes quite safe for children.  Also, these can be mounted on hard to reach windows and skylights as you do not need to go close to operate them.

If you use motorized blinds in your home you can save up to 15 % of the energy consumption.  This is possible because these blinds automatically open and close according to lighting and weather conditions.  Some of the fabrics used in the motorized blinds provide good heat insulation.  These can help you to keep the inside of your house cool during summer months and trap the heat inside during winter thus saving energy.  

In Motorized blinds, there are different types of controls available.  These include wall mounted switches, handheld remote controls, computers and sensors. These also can be connected to the home automation network.
