Style Options
There’s no need to worry about this smart home technology cramping your style. We work with luxury shading brands like Legrand Shading Systems (recently rebranded from QMotion) for the ultimate combination of style and fabric selections. Blackout fabrics are ideal for the bedroom to block unwanted ambient light that could disrupt your sleep. Light filtering fabrics of varying opacities remove glare while maintaining your beautiful property views.
Open-roll, concealed-roll, and fascia covers are all style options meant to blend seamlessly into your existing decor choices, so you’re sure to find the perfect match for your living spaces.
Convenience
It may not seem like a time-consuming task at first thought, but for large estates and luxury homes, walking around to every room to adjust the shades and blinds takes considerable time and effort. According to Energy Star, a United States government energy savings entity, an average-sized home has an average of 22 windows. How does your home compare?
Instead of going to every window to adjust shades as the sun’s rays become too bright or whenever you’d like additional privacy, simply tap a button. One tap on an on-wall keypad or a swipe on a smartphone app controls a single shade, an entire bay of windows, or all the shades in your house! Our home automation team can also program motorized shades to raise and lower according to the time of day. Wake up naturally with the sun streaming through your bedroom window minutes before your alarm is set to jolt you awake.
Works Well With Other Solutions
Motorized shades are a flexible home solution to incorporate. You can add them to a single room as a standalone system and then gradually grow your system over time. You can also incorporate your shades into a new or existing smart home control system that works with other subsystems.
For example, imagine temperature sensors informing your climate control system to begin heating as your shades rise to let in natural warming sunlight. And if the room becomes too warm? Shades roll down automatically to block the hottest sun rays, so your HVAC system doesn’t work too hard. Smart lighting can complement these actions, dimming interior lights when the shades are up and brightening once they lower. Your home is truly smart with motorized shades and home solutions from Balaklava.
