They Help You Control Climate

One of the biggest perks of motorized shades is that they offer protection from inclement weather while keeping your spaces elegant and stylish. The harsh winters of Winnetka can make it difficult for your home to stay warm and cozy, as heat can easily escape through your windows. 

By investing in motorized shading solutions, you can maintain your comfort for longer, without relying completely on your climate control system. For example, you can schedule your shades to rise around 11 a.m. to let some sunshine in to warm up your home for a few hours. Then, as the evening starts to fall and weather gets colder, your shades will automatically close to maintain the warmth your climate system and natural sunlight gave you during the day.

They Help You Manage Natural Lighting

Motorized window treatments are also a great tool to manage your home’s lighting consumption. Often, you don't need to rely on artificial lights that increase your energy expenses and your carbon footprint to enjoy a well-lit home. 

Our motorized shading installations will help you brighten up spaces like your kitchen, your bathroom, your master bedroom, or your home office by simply rising and letting more sunshine in. Do you want to enjoy sunlight without opening your shades and letting heat escape on a particularly cold day? No problem! We can integrate sheer shading solutions that will keep your spaces illuminated without ever leaving your windows uncovered.
