5 Reasons Switching to Motorized Blinds Is a Smart Investment
Learn how motorized shades do so much more than cover your windows
Your window coverings are an essential component of your home’s design. But for a lot of us, window shades can be quite the pain — they’re difficult to manually open and close, and we waste a lot of time running around the house to adjust each treatment individually.
Maybe it’s time to upgrade to a solution that offers better light, temperature and privacy control. Motorized blinds are straightforward to use and controlled with a smart device like your smartphone or a handheld remote. Learn how motorized window treatments will benefit your Palm Beach, FL, home!

5 Good Reasons to Make the Jump to Motorized Shades
- Unlock energy savings. Motorized shades help insulate your home and regulate indoor temperature. When temperatures climb to the 80s and 90s, close the shades to keep your home cooler during the summer. During Florida’s few crisp winter days, leave the shades open to warm the house naturally. When the sun sets in the winter, close the blinds to prevent heat from escaping through the windows. These small changes can reduce your reliance on the HVAC system and add up to big energy (and money) savings over time.
- Control natural light. Florida is blessed with an abundance of natural light — they don’t call it the Sunshine State for nothing. You can have precise control over the amount of sunlight you get in each room with motorized blinds. When you integrate window shades with smart home control, you can automate them to open or close based on the sun’s position, sunrise/sunset or the time of day. Additionally, you can choose from a range of shade options with different levels of transparency — from sheer shades that filter in soft light to blackout shades that are perfect while you’re sleeping or watching a movie.
- Protect furnishings. While you may enjoy a lot of natural light in your home, too much can hurt your beautiful décor and furnishings. Exposure to sunlight damages wood furniture and flooring, carpeting, rugs, upholstery, wallpaper, and artwork. Luckily, you don’t have to live in cave-like darkness to protect your home’s interiors. Motorized solar shades block UV rays while offering various levels of transparency so that you can still enjoy the look and feel of natural light.
- Access shades remotely. One of the primary benefits of automated window treatments is the ability to access and control them from wherever you are. Can’t remember if you lowered the blinds before you left for work? Use the app on your smartphone to check the status and open or close shades from afar.
- Find coverings for windows of all shapes and sizes. When you work with an integrator, you’ll have access to a much wider selection of blinds and shades than you would find in a big-box store. At ForceAV, we offer hundreds of styles, colors, and fabrics for coverings ranging in size from small to floor-to-ceiling. Additionally, we’ll help you find the right set of shades for windows with unusual shapes, including triangle, trapezoid, round, pentagon, and cathedral shaped windows.
