Experience the Profound Beauty and Ease of Motorized Shades

Home Automation Systems Deliver Effortless Control

Did you know that window coverings bring the design of a home together? They beautifully carry the aesthetics through each room and define spaces by their color and texture. When we first talk to our clients about doing away with their current window treatments and installing motorized shades, they’re concerned about the mechanical aspect and the loss of their décor. 

After we share some pictures from previous installations, they realize the beauty these shades can offer. Once they experience the daily effects of automated shades firsthand, they wonder how they ever lived without them. 

Let’s explore what motorized shades are doing for Nashville, TN homes.

Self-Adjusting Shading Solutions

Instead of using pull cords and light switches, let the sun and your smart home guide the operations of your home’s shades and lighting. Your shades introduce enough light to bring in the benefits of natural daylight harvesting, while your home lighting adjusts to the changing levels of light within a room. 

Our certified technicians can also program the system to raise and lower the shades at set times of the day. For early risers, the shades can slowly rise at dawn, letting the first sun’s rays wake you. For those who enjoy sunsets, we’ll set west-facing window shades to start opening in 25% increments every 15 minutes an hour before dusk and then begin closing just as the sun disappears beyond the horizon. 

We can also program your blinds to help keep you cool and reduce the strain on your HVAC unit. We’ll program them to close when direct sunlight streams through the southern-facing windows, reducing the direct solar heat gain. Programming your shades to respond to your daily activities creates an ease of living that’s hard to define until experienced. 

Fabric Designed for Every Décor and Function 

At Prodigy AV, we’re committed to delivering high-performance, customized solutions that exceed our clients’ expectations. To accomplish this, we partner with the leading brands in the industry. Two of these are Lutron and Control4, world leaders in lighting, shade control, and home automation.

Lutron offers different types of fabrics for various solutions. Sheer shades offer an open weave that lets sunlight filter through and preserves the view, while other materials allow complete privacy. Light-colored fabrics reduce any heat build-up, while dark-colored fabrics are designed to reduce glare. 

Lutron even creates custom blinds, using our customer’s own material or accenting blinds with custom-printed designs. Additionally, Lutron developed the quietest motor on the market, producing near-silent movement.

Total Integration in Your Home

When integrated with a Control4 home automation system, you control your whole home from one easy-to-use interface. One tap on a touchscreen, tablet, smartphone, or remote, and your blinds lower, your lights brighten to the perfect hue and intensity, and your whole-home audio tunes into your favorite playlist.
