Motorized Shades Offer Effortless Control of Your Window Coverings

A man sitting in a sunroom. Lutron’s motorized shades are partially drawn on all the windows.

Discover the Nearly Limitless Options in Styles and Fabrics

Natural sunlight brings beauty, warmth, reduced energy usage, and numerous health benefits. Unfortunately, it also delivers damaging UV rays, solar heat gain in the summer, and an annoying glare on TVs and computer screens. 

In response, we tend to lower our shades as the sun arcs across the sky and leave them in one position. After all, who has the time to manually raise and lower their window coverings throughout the day? A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) study on residential window coverings found that 75% remain in the same position. 

Fortunately, there is a better way, and it’s called motorized shades. These window coverings retain the perfect level of light and privacy, all with one touch of a button or automated control. And, instead of distracting or damaging your home’s design, they add immense beauty. 

Let's explore the possibilities and how this easy-to-use technology transforms homes in Salt Lake City, UT.
