Shade Control

Lighting psychologically affects our concentration, focus, stress levels, and happiness. Happiness, in particular, is profoundly impacted by natural lighting, and regular exposure to light throughout the day may help the body’s circadian rhythms stay in sync and improve well-being. It’s common for homeowners to utilize sunrooms with bay windows and skylights to bring natural light into the home. The problem with sunlight, however, is that it also brings higher temperatures, and the light itself can fade and damage belongings. Luckily, Rivas TechGroup partners with Lutron, whose shade control solutions are the best way to help you regulate indoor sunlight to keep things comfortable and protected. With over 20 years of experience in the automated shading industry, Lutron is the world leader in precision-controlled, motorized shades, offering multiple shade styles and over 1,000 materials and fabrics to meet any budget and aesthetic. Roller Shades Roller shades are ideal for homeowners who prefer a sleek and simple design that blends into the rest of the home’s decor. Roller shades are more cost-effective than other shades without sacrificing light-blocking abilities. On days you are home, you can use a schedule for your blinds that align with the placement of the sun and the direction your windows face. For example, when the sun rises in the east, your west-facing windows can be fully exposed to the light, but at sunset, those blinds are closed to prevent an overload of heat and light streaming into your home. For more efficiency, switch between shade schedules on your tablet or a voice command to your home assistant. World-leading textile manufacturers provide three types of fabrics for roller shades; sheer to preserve views to the outside and filter sunlight, translucent to transform harsh daylight into a soft glow, and blackout to block light from entering a space.
