SEE WHAT YOU’VE BEEN MISSING  

We’ve been shading our windows much the same way for hundreds of years. Pulling on chords, tugging on fabric—it’s time-consuming if you need to do it multiple times a day. And in large homes with hard-to-reach windows, you may just leave the shades open. 

That is, until motorized shades. Motorized shades aren’t a brand-new concept, but Lutron has refined the technology to perform seamlessly across the house through automated schedules and smart commands. And Lutron is committed to its motorized shading business— it’s recently broken ground on a new 145,000-square-foot shading factory in Virginia. 

If you still use manual shades and blinds in your Westlake, TX home, see what you’ve been missing below. And if you’re curious about installing Lutron shades, contact Texadia Systems here. 

WHICH ROUTE SHOULD YOU TAKE? 

If you’re interested in a new lighting design for your home, you have two options: taking the do-it-yourself (DIY) route or hiring a professional lighting designer. While DIY may seem appealing due to lower costs, there is a trade-off. 

In this blog, we'll compare the pros and cons of each approach, highlighting the limitations of DIY lighting design and the benefits of working with a professional. Looking for lighting design services in the Southlake, TX, area? Contact Texadia Systems here! 

AN ALL-IN-ONE SMART SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME 

When you Google “how to build a smart home,” you’ll find many blog posts and articles about video doorbells, Wi-Fi-connected bulbs, and other gadgets. These devices are technically “smart,” but collecting smart devices does not make a smart home. With each DIY device, you’ll have to use its own app or remote for control. 

And is that really convenient if you need to swipe through pages of apps to use your house? We don’t think so. A smart home should have everything consolidated in one place. There are DIY smart hubs that claim to connect your tech under one roof. But unless you’re an IT wiz, these hubs can’t carry out complex automation and will still have compatibility issues.

Luckily, there’s a better way. A smart home provider like Savant integrates with all your home devices, so you’ll control them through a single smart system. Savant can automate your home with sophistication and customization that DIY solutions simply can’t offer.  

But Savant can’t be ordered online and set up in an afternoon. You’ll need to work with a certified Savant dealer to install the system across your house. Here’s what a Savant dealer can do for your Westlake, TX, home. Ready to get started? Contact Texadia Systems here.
