Updated window treatments are an excellent way to breathe new life into your interiors.  And while you're doing that, why not go motorized? Powered shading and window treatments are some of the most convenient and useful of all smart home additions.

Motorized shades alone are an incredible convenience. At the touch of a button, you can raise or lower one or many shades at the same time. But when paired with a powerful smart home automation system like Crestron Home, the benefits multiply. Crestron's new battery-powered shading solutions are one of the easiest ways to add smart window treatments to your home.

As your local St. Louis, MO, Crestron dealer, we can show you how motorized shades play an important role in creating a more comfortable and efficient home environment. Keep reading below to learn why Crestron motorized shades are a smart home upgrade.

Long-Lasting Battery Power

Battery-powered solutions make it easy to add motorized shading in an existing home with no rewiring. Crestron's solution uses powerful, long-lasting, whisper-quiet brushless DC motors that the company confidently backs with a lifetime warranty. These motors are powered by commonly available D-Cell batteries that, on average, will only need to be replaced every three years. When replacement is necessary, the battery compartment is cleverly hidden behind the fascia and is easy to access without removing the shade. Not only that, but when integrated with Crestron Home, the system will keep track of usage and intelligently calculate battery life so you’ll know when they need replacement.

A Plethora of Fabrics and Materials

Your motorized shades will not be limited for style. With 400 fabrics available, including 240 new designer styles, you and your designer will have many options for your décor. Transparent, translucent, and blackout options ensure that you can manage light for any room or space in your home. For an even more bespoke solution, the Crestron Color Match service allows you to have fabrics and colors that are perfectly tailored to your interiors.

Crestron Home Automation

While the convenience of powered shading and window treatments is wonderful all by itself, it’s even better when integrated into Crestron Home. With Crestron automation, your shades can partner with your climate, lighting, security, and entertainment systems for complete comfort and control of your environment. For example, draw shades for comfort on hot days and coordinate indoor lighting accordingly. Create scenes for different weather and outside lighting conditions with your smart thermostat, lighting, and shading. Crestron Home even features user profiles so different family members can customize a room environment to their preferences. And Crestron offers various modes of control through apps, dedicated touchscreens, elegant Horizon keypads, and voice assistants like Amazon Alexa.
