Why you need it

Motorized control of your drapes and other window coverings is convenient and it will impress your friends, but it isn't just a toy. Shutting the drapes or shades during the hours that your room gets a lot of sun, lowers temperatures in the house in the summer, reduces the costs of air conditioning and protects you from harmful UV rays.

Furniture and rugs won't fade; they will retain their colour and continue to look beautiful much longer if protected from the direct rays of the sun. In the winter, capturing the full sun can help to reduce heating costs. And letting in natural light, brightens up a dark room. The annoying rays that sometimes hit you full in the face at a meeting or when you are in conversation with friends can be prevented automatically or corrected unobtrusively by remote control. When working on the computer, the glare from the window can be cut by closing the shades or drapes without moving from your chair. And of course, closing the drapes or shades provides privacy when the lights go on in the room.

Motorized and automated drapes and window coverings are perfect for your home, office or boardroom! You aren't around to open or close the drapes during the daytime hours as the position of the sun changes. And anyway, it would be a bother to constantly make these adjustments. Automatic controls do the job whether you are there or not.

For a disabled person, automatic controls may be the only option. And for those who are forgetful, automatic controls are especially helpful; it's very annoying to have to get out of bed to close the shutters or drapes once you are comfortably tucked in.
