Integrate, Automated, Motorized Shades Will Improve Every Technology System In Your Smart Home

In the middle of a Cape Cod, MA, winter, your porch and sunroom probably lie desolate, gathering dust from disuse since they’re too cold to spend time in. But what if there was a way to extend your living space year round? Good news: there is! Hunter Douglas shades add incredible value to any design and construction project. Whether it is AV, lighting, or HVAC systems, motorized shades are the key to greater comfort, control, and energy efficiency.

As the leading technology integrator in The Cape, simpleHome knows what it takes to add the most value to a smart home. Read on to learn why Hunter Douglas motorized shades are in so many of our projects and how we install and integrate them to enhance all other technology systems.

Shades & Lighting Control

Why do people buy vacation homes if not to relax there? From comfortable furniture and large, open rooms to technology systems hiding behind the walls, clients are willing to pay more for a better, smarter home. You already handled the design part, so why not let us take care of the lights? By offering smart shades and lights as part of every project, you will give your clients the ultimate lighting control system. That means shades operate on a schedule to match daily routines and improve sleep cycles and are easily customizable with just a few taps on a mobile app.

Designed for Efficiency

Hunter Douglas shades are designed to integrate with other technology systems, contributing directly to a smart home’s overall performance and efficiency. Cellular shades, for instance, use a honeycomb design and advanced technology to insulate windows and reduce heat loss, leading to lower energy bills for future homeowners. That’s thousands of dollars in savings every year to help you close out a deal!

Roman shades, on the other hand, offer a sleek, motorized, and automated twist on a traditional design, controlling the amount of light coming into a home. With hundreds of fabric options available, they also match the desired décor of even the most demanding clients. It’s worth noting that all Hunter Douglas shades filter over 75% of sunlight, protecting the people, furniture, and finishes inside.

Video & Security

Media rooms and home theaters are among the most sought-after technology solutions for prospective luxury homeowners. Neither space would be possible without motorized shades! After all, who likes excess glare when watching a movie? For clients who don’t spend the whole year at The Cape, security is often a top priority as well. By programming shades on a schedule, they will roll up and down at random intervals, integrating with lights to give the impression that someone is always home.

You can’t go wrong with Hunter Douglas shades, and there’s no brand like simpleHome to install and integrate them into all your projects. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
