Every day, we can count on the sun to rise in the east in the morning and set in the west at night. While there are countless benefits to sunlight, including vitamin D production and an increased release of serotonin, sometimes we want to block the sun or control how much light we let in – especially in a commercial environment. Insight Automation International can help you establish a fully automated commercial environment where even your window treatments will act intelligently. Here are three benefits to using motorized window shades.

MOTORIZED SHADES HELP SAVE MONEY

While it’s true that motorized shades may be more expensive up front than standard window treatments, motorized shades help save money in the long term by helping to decrease energy costs. With remote control window shades, you can schedule your shades to automatically lower when the sun is strongest, which helps to retain the cool air in your commercial environment and relieves your HVAC system. This benefit allows you to focus your time where it belongs – on your clients and customers – instead of on your interior environment. You can integrate temperature sensors to trigger your shades to close when rooms get too warm and even command your shades from your smartphone when you’re away from work! Motorized shades also help save you money on furniture, flooring, and assets. The sun’s UV rays have a powerful bleaching effect. Protect your property and save on costly replacements by optimizing this commercial automation solution. Have a boardroom presentation? Increase efficiency by blocking out any natural light that could wash out the projector image. The cost savings truly are endless!

MOTORIZED SHADES COME IN A VARIETY OF STYLES

Shades are an important part of design and there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. The motorized window treatment you may select for a trendy boutique might vary greatly from what you would use in a spa. Motorized window treatments are an extension of a commercial space’s overall interior design. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of fabrics and colours to choose from, so you can select shades that blend in seamlessly into your environment. Choose from roller shades, wood blinds, drapes, horizontal sheer blinds, honeycomb shades, and more. Enjoy the best of both function and style.

MOTORIZED SHADES ARE SAFER THAN REGULAR SHADES

When it comes to window treatments, cords are often cause for concern – especially when it comes to children. Not with motorized shades! This cordless commercial automation solution is a safer choice than regular shades. There’s no need to be concerned about the motor, either: motorized window treatments move up and down with whisper-quiet motors, which stay safely tucked away in the tubes, and are controlled via a wall keypad, remote, smart device, or even by voice, so cords and rods are not necessary. While these features are benefits in all commercial environments, they are especially helpful in hotels and hospitality.
