Comfort is something that is very important as far as a house is concerned and hence it is important to make all the upgradations that would make our life easier. The emphasis should be on the small things like lighting controls etc. One such area that should be upgraded is the window covers. Conventional covers were manual and the modern ones are motorized. The user would be able to raise or lower the covers by simply pressing a button. If the system is tethered to the home automation system, then the resident would even be able to control it from his or her smart phone.

Make sure that the mechanism stays hidden:

This is perhaps the most important part when it comes to motorized window covers. The motors and other mechanisms should be hidden from plain sight or else it would stand as an odd component. This can be done by covering the mechanism by the cover itself in the top part. Also in certain designs, the motors can be placed in sides of the rails and they can be covered with beautiful wooden coverings. In short, the appearance of the whole window should not suffer due to the motors.

The durability of the system:

Before purchasing the system, make sure that you choose highly durable ones. This is to make sure that maintenance needs do not occur in the future. If such a need occurs, then doing such a maintenance would be quite difficult. Also make sure that you enquire with the seller about the maintenance of the system. This means that the seller should provide the maintenance support if such a need occurs in the future.
