Elevate Your Home’s Beauty While Reducing Energy Usage

When people think of climate control, they usually think of HVAC systems, fans, and heating elements. However, there is a greener and more efficient way to manage your home’s climate in St. Louis, MO. It’s called motorized shades. 

Use smart shades for climate control for a home that’s cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing the reliance on your HVAC system while improving your home’s energy efficiency.

Advanced Shading Solutions

At Walbrandt Electric & Technology, we partner with industry leaders in home automation and lighting control including Lutron and Crestron. These global companies provide some of the most advanced shading solutions in terms of style and functionality on the market. 

You can lower one or every shade in your home with one touch on a user-friendly interface. Is the sun’s glare wreaking havoc on the big game? Tap an icon on a touchscreen or state a voice command, and it’s gone. 

Protecting Your Home’s Interior

There’s nothing more beautiful than sunlight streaming through a home’s windows, bringing textures, colors, and rooms to life. This same light, however, contains harmful UV rays that damage your home’s interior over time, causing fading and discoloration of flooring, furniture, and treasured artwork and photographs. 

These automated shades are designed to block UV rays while letting in filtered sunlight. Integrating this technology can preserve your home’s interiors while enhancing comfort and energy savings. 

Optimizing Natural Light

Natural light streaming into your home not only adds beauty and the sun’s healing powers, but it also reduces energy consumption. As filtered sunlight fills your home, the electric lights automatically dim, creating the perfect illumination at all times. 

As the sun arcs across the sky, this dance between electric and natural light continues. 

Automated for the Seasons

These shades also align with the seasons, allowing automated programming for the changing weather conditions. In the summer, they are programmed to lower on South-facing windows, reducing solar heat gain. These same shades open in the winter, bringing in the sun's warmth.

Smart shades also adjust based on changing temperatures. When direct sunlight begins overheating a room, the shades lower.  

A Blend of Functionality and Enhanced Aesthetics

In addition to their incredible automated features, these window coverings elevate your home’s interiors. From watching a row of window coverings rising in perfect synchronicity to West-facing shades automatically opening at sunset, you get unexpected moments of beauty and delight throughout the day. 

With limitless options, from drapes to different styles of roller shades and blinds and hundreds of world-class textiles, you’re guaranteed window coverings that align with and enhance your home’s aesthetics.
