Integrate your motorized window treatments, smart thermostat and lighting control system to work simultaneously to control the climate and energy consumption of your home, effectively reducing your carbon footprint.

Protect Your Furniture from Sun Damage

Many homeowners don’t realize they’re also doing their art, flooring, and furniture a favor when installing motorized shades. Did you know that UV rays from the sun can cause fading and discoloration of your interior decor? You might think your furniture is protected on a cloudy day, but clouds do not block UV rays, so there is still a risk of damage.
How do motorized shades help? Well, the openness factor (or percentage of the weave that is not covered by thread) determines how transparent your shades will be. A lower number means fewer UV rays in your home. QMotion openness factors range from 10% to 0%, keeping out 90% to almost 100% of UV light. Talk about protection!

Elevate Your Interior Decor

There is no reason why motorized shades should distract or take away from your home’s interior design you worked so hard to perfect. QMotion provides a variety of fabric options to complement your home, so that you can customize your space without sacrificing style for function.
