Choosing the Right Motorized Window Treatments
When choosing automated or motorized window treatments, consider their design and features, how easy they are to use, how they integrate with existing smart home devices, and how they complement your home’s decor. Here is a look at the most common types:
- Roller Shades – Roller shades are versatile and simple. They are designed with a single sheet of fabric that rolls up and down using a remote control or smartphone app. They are available in a wide range of colors, designs, and materials.
- Roman Shades – Roman shades are stylish and elegant. They are made from a sheet of fabric that rolls up like an accordion. They are available in a variety of colors, designs, and fabrics.

Motorized Outdoor Shades vs. Indoor Shades
We can install motorized shades inside your home or outside. Interior shades can control natural light, privacy, and security. They are easy to control with the push of a button and can be safely operated by adults, children, and seniors. Exterior shades can block solar heat gain and glare. Exterior shades can be installed over your home’s windows or used on patios, decks, ramadas, and pergolas. They are made from highly durable materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh weather. They can protect outdoor spaces from dust, sun, and weather and protect outdoor living spaces from damage.
