Motorized window treatments have quickly become one of the most requested upgrades among Utah homeowners. Whether you’re looking for convenience, improved home efficiency, or a cleaner, cordless design, motorization provides a level of comfort and control that traditional window coverings can’t match.

At Fashion Windows, we can motorize any of our blinds, shades or drapery, giving our clients a wide range of options that fit their style, routine, and home layout. Below is an in-depth look at why motorization is becoming a must-have feature—and how it enhances everyday living.

Effortless Control for Every Room

Motorized window treatments allow you to adjust your shades with the tap of a button, a phone app, or even a voice command when paired with smart-home systems like Alexa or Google Home.

This is especially helpful for:

• Hard-to-reach windows in tall stairwells, vaulted living rooms, or behind bathtubs
• Large window walls common in Park City and Salt Lake Valley homes
• Bedrooms, where a timed “wake-up” routine can gently brighten the room each morning

Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or cooking in the kitchen, you can control light and privacy without interrupting your routine.

Enhanced Safety for Homes With Kids and Pets

Cordless window coverings are the safest choice for homes with young children or pets. Motorization removes the need for pull cords entirely, reducing the risk of accidents while creating a cleaner, more streamlined look. 

Many families in Heber Valley choose motorized shades specifically for nurseries, kids’ rooms, and play areas to ensure total peace of mind.

Increased Energy Efficiency and Home Comfort

Motorized shades can dramatically improve how your home manages light and temperature. With scheduled automation, homeowners can: 

• Lower window coverings during the hottest part of the day to reduce heat gain
• Raise window treatments in the morning to naturally warm a room using sunlight
• Automatically close window coverings at dusk to trap heat during cold Park City winters 

Pairing motorization with cellular shades provides the strongest energy-saving benefits because of their built-in insulation.

Perfect Light Control for Media Rooms & Living Spaces

For homes where TV glare or bright afternoon sun is an issue, motorized light-blocking roller shades or room-darkening cellular shades offer precise control. 

With one tap, you can: 

• Darken a space for movie nights 
• Reduce glare in a home office 
• Adjust multiple windows at once for balanced lighting 

This is especially useful in open-concept living rooms in the Salt Lake Valley where large windows allow significant sunlight.

A Cleaner, More Modern Look

Motorized window treatments eliminate cords, chains, and visible hardware, creating a sleek, modern, and clutter-free appearance. 

This aesthetic works beautifully with: 

• Minimalist interiors 
• New construction homes 
• Contemporary Park City designs with tall windows and high ceilings 

Motorization also allows shades to align perfectly across multiple windows, creating symmetry and polish.

Ideal for Large Homes and Multi‑Room Control

Motorized shades are especially beneficial for homes with many windows or multi-story layouts. Homeowners can: 

• Control every shade in the house from a single app 
• Set whole-home scenes (morning, evening, away-from-home) 
• Group window coverings by room or function 
• Reduce manual wear-and-tear from daily adjustments 

This level of convenience is valuable in large Salt Lake City and Heber Valley homes where manually adjusting every shade is impractical.
