Motorized Shades
By Hunter Douglas
Motorized Shades with PowerView® Automation
Motorized shades make it easy to adjust natural light, privacy and comfort throughout your home. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, compatible shades and blinds can be controlled with a remote, the PowerView® App, scheduled to move automatically or integrated with compatible smart-home systems.
At Custom Shades of London, we’ll help you choose the right motorized window treatments for your windows, lifestyle and home. From everyday living spaces to large or hard-to-reach windows, automation provides convenient control without manually adjusting each shade.
Why Choose Motorized Window Shades?
- Everyday Convenience—Adjust one shade or multiple window treatments with a remote, app, schedule or compatible voice control.
- Privacy on Your Schedule—Program shades to close automatically when you want more privacy.
- Energy Management—Schedule shades around changing sunlight and temperatures to help manage heat gain and heat loss.
- Added Security—Scheduled shade movement can help make your home appear occupied while you’re away.
- Cordless Operation—Motorization eliminates the need to manually operate shades with traditional lift cords.
How Can You Control Motorized Shades?
PowerView® Automation gives you several ways to control compatible window treatments, from simple handheld operation to schedules and smart-home integration. The right setup depends on how you want your shades to work throughout the day.
Where Do Motorized Shades Work Best?
Motorization can add convenience to almost any room, but it’s especially valuable when windows are large, difficult to reach or adjusted frequently throughout the day. Consider automated shades for:
-
Tall or hard-to-reach windows
-
Large windows and walls of glass
-
Bedrooms where scheduled privacy and room darkening are important
-
Living spaces with changing glare throughout the day
-
Groups of windows you’d like to adjust together
-
Windows behind furniture or other difficult-to-access areas
How Are Motorized Shades Powered?
Motorized window treatments may use battery, rechargeable battery or hardwired power, depending on the product and installation. Compatible rechargeable systems may also support solar charging to help maintain the battery at suitable windows.
