Given the unique demands of the kitchen, from the need for variable light control to considerations around humidity and ease of cleaning, it's important to select the right motorized shades.

The Multifaceted Advantages of Motorized Shades

LOWER YOUR MONTHLY BILLS AND REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

In today's world, energy efficiency is not merely a catchphrase; it's a necessary commitment to a more sustainable future. A surprising yet effective tool in this pursuit is using motorized shades. These innovative devices are more than just a sleek and convenient way to manage natural light in our homes. They are pivotal in maintaining energy efficiency, reducing utility costs, and promoting a greener lifestyle.

Motorized shades, also known as automated shades, can be programmed to automatically adjust at specific times of the day or in response to sunlight and temperature levels. This automation can significantly reduce your Tampa, FL, home's energy consumption, as it capitalizes on daylight during peak hours and limits the use of artificial lighting.

Explore the Many Options in Motorized Shades

Motorized shades that open and close on command, on a schedule, or based on the temperature and intensity of the sun offer extreme convenience, managing daylight and privacy while saving energy and enhancing your home’s aesthetics. These whisper-quiet, precisely controlled window coverings come in every style and fabric imaginable, suited for every window in your home, and easily managed with custom-engraved in-wall keypads, touchscreens, remotes, and your voice.

At Acadian Home Theater & Automation, we partner with Hunter Douglas and Lutron, the world leader in automated lighting and shade control. Not only do these window treatments offer effortless control, but they also create the perfect light for any space, protect your home from harmful UV rays, and add a layer of security. 

Let's explore the many options in motorized shades and how they’re transforming homes in Tampa, FL.

Control the Privacy and Light in Your Home With Luxury Designer Shades

People want homes with beautiful windows that let in lots of natural light. But while natural light is fantastic,it can be hard to control in your home. With many window treatments, you can either have them open to let the light in or closed to keep the light out. There’s no in-between setting unless you have a sheer window covering, but they don’t provide any privacy.

With Hunter Douglas’ new Duolite roller shade system, you don’t have to choose between full and no light. Instead, your motorized shades can have two fabrics to better manage the light and privacy in any space. Keep reading to learn what DuoLite motorized shades can bring to your home in Tampa, FL. 

Create a Comfortable, Multi-Purpose Space the Entire Family Enjoys

Motorized shades are one of the technology upgrades we recommend most for our clients. While a relatively easy addition, they bring many benefits, including greater style, comfort and safety. In addition, their versatile applications make them a great addition to the entire home—including the patio with the latest outdoor models! 

If you’re not entirely sure about adding shades and would like to test them out in one area first, then there’s no better place to start than your living room. Your living room is a go-to destination for family and guests, and it should be able to adapt to how you want to use it. 

Below we outline some ways motorized shades are uniquely useful in your living room while showcasing some ways they benefit your Tampa, FL, home as a whole. 

Take Control of Heat, Pests, Sunlight, and More with Easy-to-Manage Shades

When people think of motorized shades, they often think of adding roller shades to their media room, bathrooms and bedrooms. Motorized shades, however, are equally vital to outdoor environments—especially in homes dealing with the hot Florida weather. It’s easy to boast beautiful year-round weather in the Sunshine State, where the unofficial state motto is, “We live where you vacation.”

Realistically, due to a combination of heat, storms and bugs, Tampa locals avoid their outdoor spaces during many months of the year. Enjoying those outdoor spaces at any time isn't out of the question, though, if you add motorized shades. Below are some of the reasons we think this is a must-have addition for our Florida clients.
