From cell phones to computerized thermostats and universal remotes, technology is an increasingly important aspect of modern life. Joining this trend are automated window treatments for in-home, commercial and institutional applications. The inspiration for motorized window fashions is as much about practicality as a desire to join the technological revolution. Blinds and Silhouettes can tilt as well as lift. Shades can be raised and lowered. Draperies can be traversed. Shutter louvers can be opened and closed. Skylight products can cover and uncover.
In addition to increasing convenience, motorization solves the problems of:
- difficult to access windows, such as behind a large tub in a bathroom, or 2nd story windows in a great room.
- sun control, where fading and heat gain are an issue. Timers and sun-sensors can open and close window treatments when no one is available to do it.
- security. Timers can open and close window coverings in your absence, leaving the impression of a human presence.
- physical impairment, which may prevent some persons who cannot stand or who have limited use of their hands.
- status! Be a step above the ordinary…
Motorized window treatments can be:
- hardwired (AC) or battery controlled.
- operated with a wall switch, or a radio or infra-red remote control.
- integrated with home automation systems.
- operated singly or in groups.
