Bedrooms
Are you familiar with the term circadian rhythm? It is your body’s natural 24-hour clock. If you follow circadian patterns and rise with the sun, you will awake more naturally each morning. Programming motorized shades to gradually open each morning will help you to rise slowly like the sun, so you can awaken feeling more rested and filled with positive energy for the day ahead.
Media Room / Living Room
If your media room or living room has large windows to contend with, then motorized shades are the perfect way to adjust to the sun’s changing direction without even leaving your chair. You can program motorized shades to close at specific times of the day or at your discretion using a smartphone app, tablet, or remote.
While sunshine is always a welcome sight in Iowa, long-term exposure to the sun can cause irreversible damage to your flooring, furniture, and even artwork. For example, have you ever noticed that furniture in certain rooms fades faster than others? Motorized shades can help protect these items by closing when the sun’s rays heat up.
Smart shades can also help reduce the strain on your home’s HVAC system when the sun’s rays cause your home to overheat during summer. These special window treatments can block the sun’s heat, letting your air conditioner work less while you save money on utility bills.
Workout Room / Bathrooms
There are certain areas of your home where privacy is needed. Your exercise room and bathrooms are prime examples of this. Who wants to mess with curtain cords when you’ve just finished a workout or taken a shower? You can easily activate the motorized shades to open and close using a keypad on the wall or a smartphone app.
