This window treatment option offers many advantages over regular types. They are easier to use, more versatile, and can even save you money on your energy bills. This is why they have grown in popularity. According to recent data, window treatment vendors anticipate a 12.6% increase in motorized shade installation in 2023 alone.
As the weather turns cooler, homeowners always look for cost-effective ways to make their homes warm. Setting your motorized blinds to stay closed during the cold months will assist in keeping heat trapped indoors so that you don’t need to run your heater all the time. This translates to energy efficiency and lower utility bills.
Motorized shades help protect you from harmful rays that cause skin damage, wrinkles, and sun spots, as well as damage to the home furniture. You can configure them to close and open at specified times, whether you are at home or not so that the element does not damage your valuables.
Improved Security and Safety
You can raise and lower them with the touch of a button, making them ideal for those who have limited mobility. You can also control them via an app on your smartphone, and even schedule them to open and close based on what the temperature looks like outside.
Can Be Integrated Into a Smart Home
Motorized shades can be easily integrated into most existing smart home setups, especially a Control4 smart home system. This allows you to control them remotely, set timers, and even operate them automatically based on certain conditions. For example, you can set your blinds to close when your HVAC comes on, or to open when the interior lights go off in the morning.
When choosing your motorized window coverings, you can choose how you want to control their operation. For example, if you want the ability to control your shades without getting up from the comfort of your couch or bed, remote controls are a great option.
Some shades can be controlled with a physical knob that is attached to the shade. This type is a good option if you prefer the look and feel of the classic switch or knob.
Motorized shades give you the option to control your environment like never before. They offer many advantages over traditional shades blinds, including the ability to customize them to match your mood, the time of day, or the season.
OM Wave is a Lutron shop. That single fact explains most of what the company does and who it suits, because the shading and lighting hardware it designs around is Lutron’s, and the work is specification and installation rather than off-the-shelf supply.
The product range covers roller shades, sheer blinds, Roman shades, shutters and automated drapery tracks, plus architectural lighting and broader home automation. More than 200 fabric options are available, with the choice of a custom fascia or an exposed finish, and wired or wireless configurations depending on whether the job is new construction or a retrofit.
The wireless, battery-powered shades are the practical answer for existing homes. No cords, no visible mechanism, and safe to specify in bathrooms and in rooms used by children or pets. Systems run from a phone app, Alexa or Google Home, and can be programmed to open and close on sunrise and sunset schedules.
Estimates and design consultations happen on site and are free. After every installation or service call the team walks the homeowner through operating the system, which is more useful than it sounds. The common failure mode with motorised shading is a household that never learns to use the scenes.
The company was formed in 2021 and works from 4000 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, covering Fort Lauderdale, Miami, South Beach, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and the rest of South Florida.
