Upgrade Your Home with Motorized Shades
Is it time to upgrade your home’s window treatments? Whether you’re refreshing your interior décor or have the need for better light control, new shades offer a variety of features for homeowners. However, when looking at new window treatments, remember the most important feature of the treatment will depend on the operating system you select to go with it—it’s how you’ll use it every day. So take time to consider all the options available and how they can specifically affect your daily routine.
Motorized operating systems offer a great number of benefits, both aesthetic and functional, to upgrade your new window treatments and ease your daily routine. Compared to manual operation systems, it’s easy to see why so many people are making the upgrade to PowerView® Automation and motorized shades in 2023.
Benefits of Motorized Shades
- Enhanced Efficiency: Motorized shades can help improve the overall efficiency of a home because their movements are more precise, deliberate, and consistent. Several types of motorized operating systems have the option for automated scheduling that can be synchronized to the changing lighting conditions throughout the day, responding in kind to control the flow of light and control the use of energy through the household.
- Convenient Use: For many, one of the most impactful features of motorized shades that they experience on a daily basis is convenient use. Depending on the type of motorized operating system employed, user interfaces may include the handheld Pebble® remote, a mounted wall unit, the PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet, or through home assistant or smart home programs—all of which are more convenient to use than traditional cords. This is an added bonus for hard-to-reach windows in your home that become instantly accessible with motorized shades.
- Safety and Privacy: With PowerView® Automation, homeowners can ensure their privacy and their home’s security whether at home or away. Using features like automated scheduling or online interfaces, motorized shades can maintain an air of occupancy in the home even when it’s empty to discourage criminal interest.
- Clean Aesthetic: Without need for the hanging lines and loose cords of traditional operating systems, motorized shades present a cleaner, more refined look. This is especially useful in small rooms or when dressing small windows as unkempt cords can quickly overwhelm those spaces making design look messy instead of sophisticated. Plus, they’re safer for kids and pets.
Types of Motorization
When it comes to motorized shades, the operating systems available are varied and can suit the needs of the tech savvy or tech adverse household, all with user friendly interfaces that are easy to access and easy to operate.
Additionally, the many different types of motorizations are applicable to all different types of window treatments, from shutters to blinds to drapes to roller shades, which means no matter the type of window treatment you like there is most likely a motorized operating system that is compatible within the Hunter Douglas family of products.
