What Are Smart Window Treatments?
Smart window treatments refer to motorized blinds and shades that can be operated via smartphone, remote, or voice assistant like Alexa or Google Home. They are the perfect solution for homeowners looking to add smart home functionality, energy efficiency, and sleek design all in one package.
From blackout shades in the bedroom to light-filtering options for your living room, we offer a wide selection of automated window shades, powered by rechargeable or battery-operated solutions for a seamless, wire-free installation.
