8 Reasons to Get PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas

You’ve probably heard of motorized blinds in homes. However, have you wondered if PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas is right for your home? We’ve put together 8 reasons why you should motorize your window treatments. Convenience is just one of many factors to consider. Read on to discover why you will love this operating system.

Automated shades near Bloomington, Illinois (IL), that let you control your window treatments hands-free.
  1. New systems are quieter and more reliable now than ever before. Motorized systems are used 7 times as often, and last 50% longer than traditional operating systems. You can even set your shades to open when the sun rises. There’s nothing like starting your day with natural light.
  2. Cordless window treatments are safer for homes with pets and young children. Every year, 1 in 8, or 12% of, children become entangled in window treatment cords. Two-thirds of these entanglements are fatal. You can do your part to make your home a safe haven for your kids by going cordless.
  3. Hard to reach windows left uncovered? Not anymore! PowerView® Automation is perfect for skylights, tall windows, and other hard to reach windows. Simply press a button, or use your voice, to shut any window treatments in your home.
  4. Motorized blinds improve your home’s energy efficiency. When you have automatic window treatments, you can set them to close at midday during the summer, and open at the same time in winter to take advantage of natural light.
  5. You can protect your furnishings and artwork from fading due to UV ray exposure. Motorization also protects your window treatments. Tugging and pulling on curtains or cords for blinds causes excess wear and tear. Not only that, but the pulling will also eventually loosen the hardware. This poses a safety hazard, and will cause damage to your walls if the window treatment falls down.
  6. There are so many options for operating your motorized window treatments. Remotes, wall-mounted buttons, and apps are all available for use. You can also integrate your PowerView® Automation with a smart home system and use your voice to control your window coverings. There are few things more convenient than saying, “Alexa, close the blinds.” Motorization is available on most Hunter Douglas window treatments, even interior shutters.
  7. Motorized window blinds help to enhance your home’s security. When you’re away from home for work or on a vacation, it will be obvious when your blinds remain either open or closed. With automatic blinds, you can access your system from anywhere in the world to open and close your window shades. You can also set them to open and close on a schedule to give the appearance of someone being in your home.
  8. PowerView® Automation is surprisingly affordable. When you take the energy savings, and extended life of your window treatments, a motorized system becomes even more of a wise economic decision.
