Motorized Shades Enhance Any Room And Reduce Energy Costs

Window treatments are often thought of as the part of the final fit and finish to a room. Interior designers know that a room comes together with the proper application of color, style, and textures. A stale, cold, and uninviting space now has a welcoming ambiance and pops with color and vitality. Motorized shades go beyond fashion, adding comfort and energy savings.

When integrated into a smart home network, Shades help improve lighting, manage heat, protect your investments, and add to your privacy and security. At Atlantic Security, we partner with premier partners like Lutron to furnish you with sophisticated solutions that exceed expectations.

Natural Light, Tamed

Sunlight entering a room dramatically influences the way a space looks and feels, making your home appear more inviting, larger, and invigorating. Natural light shaped our evolution, its natural cycle of rising and setting establishing our circadian rhythms of wake and sleep. Your general well-being is boosted by serotonin and vitamin D generated by exposure, making you happier and more focused.

The positive aspects of natural light are not lost on architects and interior designers who heavily favor daylighting in modern design. The practice opens the house by replacing walls with windows, skylights, and seamless transitions to the outside, allowing more light in. In addition, when tied to a tunable lighting system, your home automatically manages energy costs or supplementing as needed.

The health and psychological benefits of allowing more natural light into the home are well established.  Unfortunately, too much of a good thing can cause problems, especially during the sultry Georgia summers. If left unmanaged, the heat from the sun in a room will quickly turn a room from pleasant to stuffy and uncomfortable.

Using automated shades that react to sensors, time of day settings, and interior temperature readings raise or lower to manage the amount of light entering. As a result, your home maintains a more consistent temperature and reduces the stress on your HVAC system. 

Personal Privacy and Protection

The windows of your home furnish you with a connection to nature and scenic vistas just beyond your walls. While this blurring of the lines between indoors and out inspires a calming outlook, the same clarity with which you see out opens you up to privacy and protection issues.

The same sun’s rays that add vigor and vitality to your day also contain damaging UV rays. In the same way you add a layer of sunscreen before going out, motorized shades act as a filter protecting your delicate fabrics, furniture, and artwork. By managing the amount and type of light entering your home, the things you value are prevented from fading, extending their vibrancy.

Keeping prying eyes, intentional or accidental, from seeing into your house is a crucial function of window treatments.  You control the right mix of transparency and privacy by using combinations of sheers, solids, and even blackouts. When the units are connected to a smart security system, all blinds lower when the alarm is set from the bedroom or from across the globe.
