If you use your living room as a home theater on weekends, but have come to the conclusion that dealing with the glare from the sun's rays shining through the windows is compromising the quality of each movie viewing session, then perhaps you would like to learn more about the benefits of motorized solar shades.

Glare Reduction With The Touch Of A Button

Shades are constructed of a lightweight polyester blend that blocks ultra violet rays without compromising your viewing capabilities. A remote control, button, or phone app can be used to control the shades. No longer will you need to worry about getting up to close traditional shades one by one or hang additional drapes over flimsy wall coverings to reduce the sunlight filtering through the windows. You can choose how high to raise the shades and if you decide to lower the shades completely, you can still see outdoors.

Motorized shades have an additional benefit if you are someone who often spends time away from your home and would like to provide the illusion that someone is present. Simply program the shades to raise and lower at specific times of the day. Subtle changes like this will make it appear as if someone in your house is altering the shades, minimizing your fear that your home will look like the perfect target for an intruder who would like to steal from a vacant residence. 

A Variety Of Colors And Textures

You don't have to scrimp on style by switching to solar shades. In fact, you will be doing the complete opposite. A variety of fabric colors and textures are used to construct solar shades. Rich, dark hues or soft pastels can be used to complement furnishings, the color of walls, or ornamental trim. 

To get started, measure the width and length of each window that you would like to cover with a motorized shade. After contacting a shade supplier, provide the measurements so that you receive a ballpark estimate for the cost and installation of the shades. If you would like to view some of the fabrics that are used to manufacture a set of shades, request samples of the fabric so that you can look them over before making a decision.

Kid And Pet Safe And Easy To Clean

Kids and pets are inquisitive by nature and if you have children, a cat, or a dog, you may have been worried in the past about the cords to the blinds or standard shades being tampered with. Cords may resemble something to play with and a kid or pet could become strangled if a cord wraps around someone's neck.

With motorized shades, this danger is eliminated altogether. There are no cords to deal with. Each shade has streamlined edges that won't pose a threat to anyone. Shades are also very easy to maintain. Use a vacuum cleaner hose to suck up loose dirt from the fabric and a soapy cloth to wipe off surface stains.
