Many of our clients just delving into the world of smart home automation start by asking questions about motorized window treatments for their homes on the Main Line in Pennsylvania. They’ve heard how easy these window treatments are to use because of the technology that’s transformed home management, but are unclear about which rooms these window coverings are best suited for, the different types, and the available texture and fabric.

So, we decided to take a moment to address those questions here. You may be surprised at the great array of choices and uses today’s motorized window treatments offer.

Light has a profound effect on us; its natural cycles regulate our days and influences our well-being. We have evolved as a species to rise with the sun and sleep when it sets. The color and hues change over the course of a day signaling our bodies to generate hormones or melatonin. 

Standard lighting design has often treated illumination as a utilitarian function, using harsh contrasts and cold colors. Ketra, purchased by Lutron in 2018, has long believed there should be more to it than that. In Ketra’s own words: “Our shared mission is to make light an integral part of the human experience. We’re rewriting the story of light and creating technology that works intuitively with us- to make the world a brighter, more beautiful place.”

Circadian based smart lighting control provides a different, more naturalistic approach. See how you and your Margate, NJ home can benefit.

When used correctly, they're perfect for boosting privacy, managing sunlight, and enhancing the room’s overall comfort.

If the window treatments you add aren’t easy to use, though, they’ll serve as little more than added decorations.

Through seamless integration and intuitive controls, motorized shades help you get the full potential out of your interior design.
