Missouri summers are warm and humid, giving your air conditioning system a workout. Electric blinds can help by lowering during the warmest parts of the day to keep your interiors cooler.
You don't even have to be home! Put your Lutron window coverings on a schedule, or incorporate one of Lutron's sensors to lower shades once it detects sunlight.
2. Winter Warmth
Did you know that significant heat loss occurs through windows? Although double-paned windows help, your uncovered windows can make interiors chillier on the coldest days, causing you to crank the heat.
With electric shades, you can easily lower them whenever you don't need the view to keep heat in. Plus, shade styles with cellular 'honeycomb' fabrics are specifically designed to insulate windows, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
3. All-Year Sun Protection
Too much sun streaming through windows can damage your interior finishes and furnishings in any season. Protect your interiors from UV fading by automatically lowering shades during the hours of maximum sun exposure and raising them when the sun moves to another side of the house.
You can do this on a schedule, with heat sensors, and as part of other home automation routines in conjunction with lighting and climate control. Sheer, light-filtering roller shades ensure you can still enjoy some natural light while protecting your home.
