Discover Their Key Benefits for You and Your Home

With the stunning views and the beauty of spring approaching, many people in Newburyport, MA, are eager to let warmth and natural light into their homes. Of course, the challenge with manual shades is the continual need to raise and lower them to keep up depending on the sun’s position. 

As direct sunlight enters south and west-facing windows, people lower their window coverings to protect furnishings and artwork from the sun’s UV rays. And, in many instances, there they remain. According to a U.S. Department of Energy study, 75% of window coverings remain in one position daily, diminishing their ability to manage energy consumption and natural light. 

There is a better way. 

Lutron motorized shades provide automated control, managing daylight and privacy for you while enhancing the aesthetics of your home. 

Let’s see how it’s done.

Managing Daylight and Privacy

Lutron’s shades can be automatically programmed to adjust based on the sun’s position and time of day. In the morning, they open, letting in the soft, filtered light of daybreak. As the sun intensifies, certain shades lower, protecting the interior of your home and reducing solar heat gain in the summer. In the winter, these same shades open to take full advantage of the sun’s warmth. 

When integrated with a home automation system, your thermostat and lights coordinate with your shades to provide the ideal temperature and lighting throughout the day in occupied rooms and improve energy efficiency. 

In the evening, as you settle down for dinner, the shades lower for privacy.

One-Touch and Voice Control

You can also manage these shades from a remote, touchscreen, keypad, smartphone, and your voice. Did you forget to lower the shades before you left for the day? Pull up the app and lower every shade in your home with one touch. 

Do you have hard-to-reach architectural windows and skylights? Now, you can effortlessly manage the natural light that streams through them.

When having friends over in the evening, open the shades facing your backyard with a voice command, revealing a stunning landscape. When retiring for the evening, say, “Good Night,” and every window covering closes.
