The Benefits of Blackout Shades

Blackout window treatments serve a variety of purposes in the home, including creating privacy and protecting furnishings from damaging sunlight – but that’s just the beginning.

Shift workers and those in extreme latitudes can benefit from having their sleep cycle undisturbed by daylight. Those who live on busy streets can block out glaring headlights and streetlights. And if you’re the lucky owner of a home theater, it’s easy to create a dark theatric atmosphere.

You can also keep your heating and cooling costs down. By keeping direct sunlight from warming a room, air conditioning systems don’t have to work as hard in hot weather. In colder seasons, letting sunlight in during certain times of day can keep rooms warmer and reduce heating expenditures.

Motorized blackout shades are an easy way to gain these benefits without having to manually open and close them depending on the time of day. They will automatically open and close whenever you program them to do so. They are a great addition to any smart home system.
