Making the right choice in window coverings for your home involves numerous options. Tech features are at the forefront of creating simple, automated shades that keep your home looking and feeling cool. Window shade automation has never been easier to manage–when you choose the right ones. Let’s look at what to consider when browsing through motorized blinds for your home.
Ready, Set, Install!
Installing motorized blinds may sound simple, but it can be a bit tricky for homeowners who want to do it themselves. Here’s why: Hunter Douglas PowerView offers beautiful shades with unique features for your unique windows. Each window install is customized for your home and requires the attention to detail you deserve. The shades are custom-built to last, which means we want to help you by offering professional installation by certified installers who will best serve your home’s needs.
Now let’s talk about brands. It takes time to research all the best options for automated window coverings. With this type of installation, there can be wiring, power sources, and fabrics to consider for each and every situation. The shades need to roll or stack efficiently, but also many windows that use automation are hard to reach. Our professional installers are used to handling this and have the equipment to set you up for success, so when we finish, the operation is smooth and seamless. Our team has experts who can handle these tricky-to-install products and ensure your satisfaction when we leave.
Get Smart (Home Edition)!
We are living at a time when our home’s products seem smarter than us. How did we get here? The best part of this is creating a smart home that works for you and lets you control light filtering options any time, day or night. Our smart phone app lets you get the benefits of smart shades, such as lowering and raising on a schedule and tapping a button to adjust as needed. Keep light out or let it in as desired. Keep control in the palm of your hand. That’s the power of automation for your home!
Set the scene in your home after you leave or when you are set to come home. Never go on vacation worried about leaving the blinds open again! Automate everything on the app, and set times of day to keep the shades drawn for better light control, privacy and security. Hunter Douglas smart shades are also compatible with other smart home systems, so you can integrate them into your whole space and keep things running smoothly.
All That Noise
Within the four walls (or more) of our homes reside a peaceful, quiet space. At least, that’s the hope. Window shade automation is here to help make that goal a reality. Some brands will talk about the ‘quiet’ operation of motorized blinds, but it doesn’t always sound the way we want it to. With Hunter Douglas products, this has been a priority for customers that smooth gliding, rolling, and quiet operation are at the top of the list. Visit our window treatment showroom to see for yourself how these products stand out from others in the marketplace and help make your home feel like the sanctuary you deserve.
Bring Shades to Life
Choosing the right automated window coverings for your home is a challenge. There are so many choices! The end goal should be to have effortless, seamless operation in your home. It all starts with the source: The power source, that is! Daily use of window shade automation in the home requires battery power. Typically, they last anywhere from 1-2 years. Hunter Douglas offers a rechargeable battery wand that doesn’t require constant replacement of AA batteries. Sustainability is important for consumers and suppliers, which is where PowerView shades come in. The solar-powered option is another step into creating a better future and saving resources. Look into the brands you like, and decide for yourself how best to power up those window coverings for maximum coverage.
