what is a home control system?
When was the last time you truly assessed the window treatments in your home or office?
The windows are an important aspect of any property, widely considered one of the most critical design factors in the overall footprint of a home or office. Simply put, they help set the tone for a particular space or layout — and it should go without saying that certain types of window treatments can truly enhance this tone. One increasingly popular and modernized window treatment is automated smart shades, adorned mainly for their sleek style and ability to customize how much natural light certain parts of a property get at various times of the day.
At AVDG, we’ve installed more than 2,500 motorized window treatments in homes and offices throughout the country. Here’s a look at three ways they can help transform your space:
1. perfect ambiance
Tired of having to open the window shades in the morning and draw them again at night? What about managing how much sunlight certain areas in your home or office get throughout the day, when heat gain can make it uncomfortable, and the glare on screens can make it difficult to focus? There’s also the risk of fabric fading from UV light.
One of the greatest advantages of automated smart shades is that they’re optimized to provide ideal lighting conditions at all hours of the day. You can program automated smart shades to open at a certain time every morning, close at a specific time every night, and adjust accordingly throughout the day based on sensors that detect the amount of available light at any given time.
Smart shades don’t just improve the ambiance in your home or office, but they can also contribute to a healthy property too. Exposure to healthy amounts of natural sunlight helps the human body produce Vitamin D, improves sleeping patterns, heightens focus, and it is even linked to mood improvements.
Finally, smart shades can also help improve energy efficiency in your property.
2. comfort and convenience
Another great benefit of smart shades is that they make it easy to maintain a comfortable environment in your home or office. Aside from programmable options, smart shades can be controlled via a smartphone, tablet, or smart speaker, making them easy and convenient to manage for just about anyone.
Forget to adjust your shade settings while you’re away from home on a business trip or vacation with the family? Just pull up the smartphone app and make your changes. Want to alter the times that your shades open in the morning or close in the evening based on the time of year and the sun’s position in the sky? It’s easy and convenient to do right from an app or the control console.
3. aesthetics
Finally, smart shades can add a stunning look to your home or office space and are available in numerous styles to match your space’s aesthetic. Aside from the convenience associated with their automation, they’re simply beautiful. From sleek, minimalist and modern to traditional patterns, these shades come in a wide range of colors and styles, so you can ensure your selection matches the décor of your property.
What’s more, today’s best smart shades operate silently, so you’ll hardly notice a sound when they’re opening or closing. AVDG offers smart shade systems from top brands like Lutron, which are among the quietest and highest quality on the market. Available in widths ranging from 20 to 144 inches and heights ranging from 12 to 144 inches, they can be designed to fit just about any window in your property.
Simply put, smart shades take your home or business space to a new level.
