Manual Blinds or Automated? Lutron Makes It Simple to Choose


AV Connect Brings Stunning Shading Solutions to Austin Homes

The sun’s warming rays and natural illumination are a welcome sight in any room, but there are times when it’s just too hot to handle, especially in Texas!

Incorporating Lutron automated blinds and shades lets you manage window treatments individually, as a group, or throughout the entire house with a simple button tap or prescheduled automation.

North Austin homeowners are opting for motorized instead of manual window treatments—the article below explains why.

Are Manual Blinds Safe?

If the manual blinds in your home were manufactured before the 2022 Consumer Product Safety Commission’s federal safety standard went into effect, then your loved ones may be at risk.

Pull cords or other accessible cords and cables are a strangulation hazard for pets and small children. Though the latest manual window treatments comply with the new safety regulations, automated blinds and shades add additional convenience and style to a much safer product. A cordless design eliminates risk, providing a safer environment for the entire family with a simple button tap.

Lutron Shades Add Style

Lutron offers a variety of custom fabrics and shading styles to choose from, including Roman shades, horizontal sheer blinds, drapery, and roller shades. Each adds beauty and functionality to your living spaces, enhancing the aesthetic appeal everywhere. Precise control over shade positioning also makes it possible to set the perfect ambiance and privacy levels throughout the day.

Enjoy On-Demand Adjustments

Manage your window treatments—even in hard-to-reach windows—from anywhere using a remote control, smartphone app, or voice command with smart home system integration. You can even program adjustments to occur automatically in response to the sun’s position for maximized energy efficiency and to protect interiors from UV damage—all without lifting a finger.
