Window Covering Automation: Shielding Your Rooms From Heat Transfer As Well As Exposure To Harmful Sun Rays

Window coverings are an easy alternative for protecting furniture, artwork, and even flooring by adjusting the sun’s exposure. Light control is fundamental to utilizing rooms in both the home as well as one’s office. The presence and absence of light greatly impact the comfort level of interior spaces. BTX specializes in creating the ideal balance as envisioned by our customers to best suit their designs. For added effect and functionality, BTX brings window treatments to life at the touch of a button!

Amazing Benefits with High-Fashion Style

1. Convenience
   Manually raising and lowering a shade is easy enough if it's not too large. However, if the shade is extremely large or there are multiple shades then it becomes more difficult and time consuming. The advantages of BTX motorized shades cover a wide range of important features.
   
   
2. Protect artwork, furniture, and flooring
   The harmful effects of overexposure to sunlight damage artwork, interior furnishings. The benefit of motorized shades by BTX will slow this catalytic effect of fading, cracking or warping. Protecting one’s furniture, artwork and flooring can be done with a push of a button.

3. Accessibility - ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
   Controlling one's own destiny is often key to a good life. Handicapped (ADA), hospitalized and maturing adults have a need to easily control the light and shade in their homes for safety and comfort. Help make sure your client's environment is ADA friendly for years to come.
   
   
4. Conserving Energy
   Gaining heat from sunlight through windows during summer months (or 10 months of the year in Texas) really puts a damper on the air conditioner. Studies show the benefit of motorized shades makes conserving energy so much easier. From radio control to solar power, we have a solution for you. BTX strives to promote a greener, healthier planet.

5. Maximizing Your Views
   Experience tells us that traditionally operated window coverings get used less often than motorized ones. Having motorized shades mean the difference between seeing a beautiful sunrise/sunset or missing it. Stunning vistas are rarely missed when opening or closing shades is simply by pressing a button or you can even set a time to save the hassel.

6. Security
   BTX motorized shades can be programmed with a timer so that when you are traveling for an extended period of time, your shades are elevated and lowered at various preset times. This presents a sense of liveliness the home that may deter would be thieves. According to FBI crime statistics 2/3rds of all burglaries are committed on residential dwellings. About half of them take places during the day. 79% of intrusions happen through windows and doors. Securing these vulnerable areas of entry should be your number one priority in break-in prevention.
   
   
7. Large Windows and Many Windows
   The situation for automation becomes increasingly compelling as the size and quantity of windows increases. You've likely seen projects with walls adorning windows that are 20, 40 and even 60 feet. Jobs like these makes motorization practically a necessity.
8. Unsightly Cords
   Aesthetics enhance the overall visual appeal of interior spaces. Unsightly cords can take away from the clean look of an otherwise stunning. Multiple shades equal multiple cords, dangling onto the floor when fully open. Motorized window coverings fully retain views of wide open vistas and also means mean no more unattractive cords!

10. Unsurpassed Technology
    Satisfactory operation requires that motorized shade systems be nearly noiseless when they move. BTX systems offer important finishing touches in design and installation to ensure drapes, blinds, and shades accurately and silently stop at the designated position when opened and when closed. Ask about our “Silent Stop” technology that permits precise positioning!
