How Motorized Shades Can Save Energy & Preserve Furniture
Who Knew Window Shades Could Be So Beneficial?
Have you experienced the magic of motorized shades?
Controlling multiple window shades at once is handy, especially when it’s done through a single tap of a button. But when you automate your motorized shades to follow a routine—and when you use the right kind of shading materials—you achieve incredible things.
What kinds of things? When done right, your motorized shades help your home reduce energy consumption and even preserve your furniture, wall coverings, and artwork to last longer.
While these benefits may seem far-fetched, below we’ll explain how automating motorized shades work wonders for your Dallas, TX home. And to learn more about smart home technologies, contact Texadia Systems here.

Rely Less on HVAC
When it’s summertime in Texas, AC is not an option. But motorized shades can help to keep your air conditioning temperature a little higher, thus saving extra energy each billing cycle. Automated shades do this by lowering at the hottest times of day and blocking heat from the sun outside.
The same technology also maintains a warmer house in winter. Honeycomb shading material provides insulation, so lowering the shades ensures a cozier environment, even when it’s chilly outside. And as the sun shines during the day, you can automate shades to rise and let in the sun and warmth.
Automatically Block Harmful UV Rays
Most people don’t have time to adjust the blinds multiple times a day, especially on large or hard-to-reach windows. But when light sensors trigger your motorized shades to lower, your shades will automatically block strong UV rays from entering the room. Just as the sun passes over a window, shades will lower and protect your wall artwork, furniture, fabrics, and any other materials from fading.
So whether you have a sentimental photograph or valuable artwork mounted on the wall, motorized shades ensure they stay just as preserved as they would in a museum. And once the sun passes the window, your shades can rise again, so you enjoy natural light at home.
Other Benefits of Motorized Shades
Beyond saving energy and preserving interiors, motorized window treatments also boost your home security. By automating shades to raise and lower throughout the day and night, you can make it appear someone is always home, even when you’re away for days or weeks. Motorized shades also come in handy in home theater settings and can keep out mosquitos or glare in outdoor living spaces.
