Stay Cool This Summer: The Benefits of Automated Shades for Your Home As the temperatures rise, so do energy bills and discomfort. But what if you could manage heat and light throughout the day without lifting a finger? With automated shades, you can. 1. Keep Your Home Cooler and Your Bills Lower Automated shades are the unsung heroes of energy efficiency. By lowering them during peak sun hours, they block out heat before it enters, reducing air conditioning usage. With smart shading solutions like those from Lutron, you can significantly reduce heat gain, keeping your living space cooler while lowering energy costs. 2. Sunlight Control At Your Fingertips Forget manual adjustments. With a tap on your phone or a voice command, you can set shades to follow your daily routine: Morning: Let in soft, indirect daylight. Afternoon: Retract to minimize heat gain. Evening: Drop for privacy and comfort. Integrated with systems like Control4 or Lutron, your shades sync with your home’s climate and lighting scenes. 3. Preserve Furnishings & Privacy Sunlight fades wood, upholstery, and artwork over time. Automated shading offers a protective filter, extending the life of your treasured interiors. Plus, when it’s late and dark outside, a simple command blocks views from the outside, keeping your space private and peaceful. 4. Elevate Style + Ease-of-Use Neuwave offers a wide range of shade styles, from sleek roller shades to lush draperies, that elevate any room’s design. Motorization adds a touch of luxury, removing the hassle of cords and clutter. Integration is seamless whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading an existing home. 5. Smart Integration for Comfort All Year Your shades can do more than shade; they can sync with your HVAC system too.
