Top 10 Benefits of Motorized Window Treatments
-
Precise Control
With motorized window treatments every movement is exact for the
ultimate in maneuverability control that allows shades, blinds,
shutters, and drapery to be adjusted accurately and
effortlessly.
-
Convenient and Easy to Use
No more hassling with cords or reaching awkwardly for that one,
hard-to-reach window, motorized shades are easy to use because
of the remote operation that ensures you get the most out of all
your window treatments (even the hard-to-reach ones) by making
them utterly easy to use.
-
Programmable Options
Scheduled your motorized window shades to coordinate with your
schedule or adjust for sunrise and sunset in your area to
maximize their beneficial use in your daily life. Don’t waste
another minute on the monotonous chore of opening and closing
window shades every day when automated window treatments can do
the work for you.
-
Increased Energy Efficiency
Controlling the energy efficiency of your house will lower your
home’s carbon footprint and energy bills, and motorized window
treatments can help by ensuring optimal use of window coverings.
Window coverings can provide insulation during colder times of
the day or year to prevent heat loss and thus also lower the
need to crank up the heat. Meanwhile in warmer times window
coverings can block direct sunlight and unwanted solar heat to
help regulate indoor temperatures and negate the need for costly
artificial cooling. But window covering can’t help at all if
they are not used properly, which is why motorized window
treatments are so practical because the programmable options
optimize window treatment use on an hourly basis.
-
Global Control
Be able to control your window treatments from anywhere in the
world by upgrading their standard operating system to a modern,
motorized system like PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas.
With multiple options for user interfaces within the home as
well as an online app and engineered compatibility with
full-home start systems, motorized shades can be controlled from
home or away for opportune and timely control of your home
shades.
-
Heightened Privacy and Security
Motorization doesn’t just add levels of convenience, it also
heightens the sense of privacy you have at home and guards your
house when away. Never worry again that you left the front
shades open, with motorized window shades your privacy is always
under your control. When away from home programmable options
that move, your shades automatically can also help deter thieves
like a light on a timer because it gives the illusion of
occupancy to a vacant and vulnerable house.
-
Child Safe and Pet Friendly
With young children or small pets in the house, extra
precautions have to be taken to protect the little ones against
lurking in-home dangers like the cleaning products under the
sink or the hanging cord on some standard window treatments.
Hanging cords or lines pose a strangulation hazard for young
kids who can become ensnared or entangled in the loose lines and
choke. Since motorized window treatments do not have hanging
cords or loose lines, they are considered a cordless blind and a
much more child-safe and pet-friendly option.
-
Protection from Sun Damage
Direct sunlight can cause irrevocable harm to the costly
articles in your home including furniture, flooring, décor,
artwork, and other valuables. Motorized shades help protect the
inside of your home by reliably and consistently deflecting
direct sunlight thus preventing warping, fading, color change,
or breakage caused by long-term exposure to UV rays.
-
Create Ambience
Natural light has a strong effect on the atmosphere of a room,
so by controlling the light you can help set the ambiance.
Motorized shades offer easy and precise maneuverability so you
can achieve a range of lighting effects to help set the mood to
your tastes.
-
Compatible with Multiple Styles of Window Treatments
Whether you have cellular honeycomb shades, sheer shades, Roman
shades, roller shades, blinds, woven wood shades, drapery, or
shutters; motorization can upgrade the treatment for premier
performance.

any less power or gusto as modern advances in battery
technology ensure smooth, consistent movement for the life of
the motorized shade.

room, or all at once with programmable custom scenes that let
