Take perfect control over the lighting and climate in your home

When you consider the different elements that affect the look and feel of your living spaces, window shades probably don’t come to mind right away. But blinds, shades and shutters have a significant impact on the lighting, climate, ambiance, comfort, and interior design of your home. 

That being said, you may not be aware of the full impact they have because manual shades are unwieldy and difficult to maneuver to your desired settings. It’s a hassle to run around the house adjusting blinds all day, which means you likely don’t use them as much as you could.

But smart, automated window treatments are beautiful, sophisticated, and easily controllable with a smartphone app, remote, or touchscreen tablet. With the press of a button, you can set one or multiple shades to your desired level to bring sunlight into the house.
