Discover Exceptional Ease of Living with Remote Control Shades

Optimize Daylight and Privacy

Imagine the morning sun nudging you awake while your bedroom shades automatically raise as the day begins. Entering the kitchen, you watch as they open in perfect synchronicity across a row of windows, letting you greet another beautiful day in McLean, Virginia. 

As you can see, remote control shades offer much more than pressing a button to raise and lower shades. They're programmed to adjust based on your lifestyle and preferences while enhancing your home's aesthetics. 

Let's explore the remarkable world of smart shades and how they're reshaping how we manage daylight and privacy.

Managing Daylight

Soft rays of sunlight filtering through your home bring incredible beauty and warmth, enlivening a space with natural light. This same light enhances your well-being, stimulating the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with happiness and enhanced energy. Sunlight is shown to reduce stress, promote productivity, and provide an overall sense of relaxed alertness.

It's a potent element that's often disregarded. Because the same light that brings so many benefits can also harm furnishings and floors, we tend to lower the shades as the direct sun's rays begin to bear down on the home's interior. 

Remote control shades make managing this element effortless. From a user-friendly interface, you can adjust one or every shade in your home. Our automation experts at Bethesda Systems can also program them to open and close based on the sun's position and the temperature, always ensuring the ideal level of natural light.

Optimizing Privacy

Press a button by the door when you leave for the day, and all your shades lower. If you'll be gone for a while, you can also set them to 'Away.' This functionality raises and lowers them throughout the day, creating the illusion that you’re home and adding a layer of security.

When you return, press 'Home,' and they'll open, allowing you to see another beautiful Virginia sunset. When gathering with the family for a meal, press ‘Dinner,' and the shades close for privacy. Then, when it's time to retire, press the 'Goodnight' button by the bed to ensure all the window coverings are closed. 

From when you wake until you retire, your shades perform their duty of managing daylight and privacy. 

Enhancing Your Home's Interior

The term 'Remote Control Shades' doesn't do these window coverings justice. They come in numerous styles, textures, and fabrics, from elegant draperies that run on a track system to Roman shades and horizontal sheer blinds providing precision control of sunlight. Custom tensioned shades keep fabric parallel and taut over skylights and angled windows, controlling daylight while reducing glare and heat gain. 

Varying opacities, from sheer to blackout, let you filter sunlight while preserving your view. You can transform the sunlight into a soft filtered glow and retain your privacy or block light completely, creating the perfect environment for watching movies and sleeping.
