Remote controlled Window Treatments

How lazy can you be? No, it's not about laziness; it's about safety and convenience.

The best reason to switch to motorized window treatments is the removal of cords. The Consumer Product Safety Commission in the US and Canada in 2023 has implemented regulations prohibiting window treatments with operating

cords longer than 8 inches to prevent the risk of strangulation for children and pets.

For high windows that you don't want to cover constantly, but only when the strong western sun shines through, motorized window treatments are perfect. They're especially useful if you have physical limitations due to reach or obstructive furniture, allowing you to easily control natural light. Moreover, if you have a home security system, these treatments can be programmed to open and close at specific times according to your schedule, which is particularly beneficial for travelers wanting their homes to appear occupied.

Although there is a premium for this feature, technology has progressed in recent years, resulting in lower prices. Remember how costly TVs or laptops used to be? As with all new technologies, once initial issues are resolved and production becomes more efficient, demand rises and prices fall. Simple economics.

Don't hesitate to try them. If you can charge your cell phone, you can manage a motorized window treatment.
