The decision to try a new window covering can be fun, but also challenging. When it comes to window shade automation, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but the benefits are worth the challenge. And, with the right company, it should feel seamless. Window shade automation is a great choice for any homeowner that wants to make things easier to take care of while having the best light control, privacy and energy efficiency. Let’s explore the details of motorized blinds to discover if they are right for your home and how to get started.
Getting Started
In today’s day and age of do-it-yourself shows, it’s easy to think any home project can be done on your own. What you don’t see behind the scenes is all the work and training our installation team puts in, ensuring your investment is protected and operates as designed. Installing motorized blinds is not as simple as it looks. Hunter Douglas PowerView shades are customized to your home window’s specifications and are very technical. They require professional installation by certified installers who can keep the window shades in meticulous condition, calibrate the operating system and fabrics, all while creating the look you desire.
Designer Solar Shade
It takes time to look at the right type of motorized blind for your home so you get what you want from the product. Understanding the best features of the motorized blinds is key to getting efficient work from it in your home. Professional installers know and understand how to handle this dynamic and make it as seamless as possible. We will wire it and make sure everything is in working order before we show you how to operate everything and then hand over the controls.
Smart App
Even with all the technology, we still want it to work like it is a natural product. Machines can only do so much or be ‘as smart’ as they are programmed to be, but they do a lot of work that traditional blinds, in this instance, could not do. Motorized shades paired with a smart app give you more control over light and privacy. When you are away, keep shades drawn. When you want to arrive home, hit a button or set a schedule, and the window shades or smart drapes will move where you want them to let the light in again. This makes it more energy efficient and convenient for you. Keep control of the atmosphere with automation features that make it easy to manage your home with the click of a button.

Whisper Quiet?
Installing window shade automation features into your home can create a place of peace for you, but also keep the space cool in summer and warm in winter. As a sanctuary, your home should reflect the peace and calm you desire. With the right window shades, you will create a space you love. Motorized shades operate with a motor, and the goal is keeping it as quiet as possible while shifting and subtly moving them for better control. With Hunter Douglas products, we offer window coverings that adjust with ease, moving quietly so you don’t have to think about it at all. With a faint ‘whisper,’ you may hear them shift to the position you desire. You can experience it in person at one of our showrooms, designed to let you operate the shades for yourself. The products speak for themselves by design, but ultimately you need to love them in your home and make sure they work for you.

A Seamless Experience
Our custom-designed window shade automation offers a seamless experience. What do we mean by this? We want you not to think about adjusting or shifting them at different times of day, angling for light or darkening up a room for sleep. The goal is to keep them moving without really thinking about it. We do this with various features of window shade automation, like scene setting, saved favorites and scheduled adjustments. These custom designed shades keep the motor in the headrail, away from view. They are also capable of integrating smart home technology within the smart home system you already use. Our goal is to provide you with a beautiful, functional shade that works hard so you don’t have to.
