12 Unexpected Benefits From Your Motorized Window
Treatments
2

• Technology has accelerated change in just about
  every aspect of life. No longer reserved for
  science fiction, newest innovations are hitting a
  home run. A smart home is not something from the
  distant future or The Jetsons anymore. From smart
  TVs to appliances or even smart sprinklers, the
  (hi-tech) future is closer than ever. With the
  use of intelligent Somfy motors you can add your
  window treatments into the smart mix. Somfy
  solutions easily integrate with home automation
  systems, so you can synchronize your blinds or
  draperies to move in perfect unison with your
  lights, thermostat and home theater.

• Convenience
• With the push of one button, you can control
  every shade in the room simultaneously. What a
  time saver! And those hard to reach windows? Not
  a problem anymore. You dont even have to get off
  that comfy sofa.
• Increased privacy
• Whether you have a bathroom on the first floor or
  on the second, closely situated neighbors can
  require privacy. Hit a switch to lower your
  blinds before you head to the shower or at night
  when you are getting ready for bed.

•  Go green
• Most of us cant imagine blocking what little
  light we get into our homes, but the sun exposure
  all day can literally cost us a lot of money. Did
  you hear about the Net Zero concept? W It means
  that a building produces as much energy as it
  uses over the course of a year. You too can
  balance the energy consumption in your home, by
  tapping into solar power, insulating your home
  and installing automated shades, awnings or
  shutters. You can also use traditional ways to
  cool your house, like plant a shade tree outside!
  Just remember to leave enough room for growth.

• Increase your homes value
• Green features that improve a homes efficiency,
  while maximizing functionality are always
  desirable. Also, home automation is becoming
  increasingly popular, which means installing
  motorized window treatments will not only help
  you save on your bills and make your life easier,
  it will also make your home more valuable when
  you are ready to sell. See what other projects
  can also increase the value of your home.

• Fun and ease
• Motorized curtains, shades, blinds or awnings are
  so simple to operate and fun too! Just be careful
  not to end up playing with them for hours.
•  Forget the alarm clock
• Trade in that alarm for a wakeup call from Mother
  Nature. Set your shade to open and let in the
  light when its time to get up. Warning you may
  be in a good mood all day long!

7

• Protect whats most precious
• Motorization means no operational cords for pets
  or curious children to get tangled in. Also,
  youll be able to better protect your furniture,
  upholstery and wall art from fading by having the
  shades close automatically during the sunniest
  part of the day. While its understood that
  taking sun safety precautions is important
  outside, few people realize they can sustain sun
  damage indoors, too.
• Simulate presence
• With home automation systems you can simulate
  presence by scheduling operation of your window
  treatments while you are away on holidays or
  business trips, or even when leaving for just one
  evening or a weekend. No one will be the wiser
  that it isnt you operating those shades. Deter
  the would-be intruders by making it look like you
  are home even when you are not.

8

• Get your partner excited about redecorating
• You can research fabrics and styles, he can
  research technology options and you both can have
  fun selecting your new motorized window
  treatments together.
•  Quit thinking about the weather and just enjoy
  it!
• Your shades can follow the weather and react to
  changing elements all by themselves. An overcast
  morning turns into a sunny day? Equipped with a
  sun sensor, your blinds will lower even if you
  are out enjoying the weather. And having your
  shades automatically raise or lower accordingly
  to the sun helps to manage heat gain in the
  summer months and heat loss during the winter.

9

• Create ambiance
• Need some mood lighting? With a press of a button
  your window treatments will oblige. Set up scenes
  to incorporate artificial light and music and
  voila! A perfect romantic evening can ensue.
• Turn your living room into a home theater
• Draw the blinds, start your entertainment system
  and dim the lights with one gesture. If you have
  extra room you can take it even further and
  create a real home theater, complete with velvet
  chairs, curtains, popcorn machine and all!
