Roller shades have long been a favorite for their sleek and modern look. But it’s motorized roller shades that are truly transforming the way we think about window coverings. Their effortless automation is making them one of the most popular choices today. We offer a range of 7 different types of Hunter Douglas roller shades. Each one designed to suit your unique style and needs.
You’re In Control
What we love about Hunter Douglas PowerView Automation is the freedom to control your motorized shades however you feel best. Use the sleek remote to adjust them instantly, or choose a hand-held or surface-mount version. Save your favorite settings, control multiple windows, and make adjustments just the way you like it.
By using the app, control your smart blinds from your phone or tablet. That means you can be anywhere and still have access. Maybe you’re home, at work, or thousands of miles away on vacation. You can even integrate your shades with your existing smart home system, using voice commands or automated adjustments.

The Benefits of Automated Rollers
Beyond convenience, motorized roller shades offer a range of benefits that improve your home life.
Privacy
Privacy is an important feature when it comes to any window treatments. Yes, it’s great when you’re home–but even more when you’re away. Motorized roller shades enhance security by giving the impression you are still home, no matter how far away you are.
Safety
Cordless motorized shades eliminate the dangers by traditional blind cords. They’re a safer choice for families with children and pets.
Energy Savings
Block harmful UV rays or control light to prevent your home from heating up. Motorized shades help reduce energy costs while keeping your home just the right temperature.

What Are the Cons?
Let’s address some concerns. We understand that some homeowners have hesitations when it comes to installation, power sources, and cost.
The Installation
Installing motorized shades can seem intimidating, especially with hard-to-reach windows. While DIY installation is possible with some products on the market, we would never recommend it. Potential risks and the need for precise setup are just a few. Let our professional installers handle everything for you. They will ensure everything is set up correctly and ready for use right from the start.
Power Sources
There are several ways to power your motorized shades.
Disposable Batteries: The traditional battery power is a cost-effective option, lasting about 1-2 years depending on usage. The down side is you may require battery changes for multiple windows, and they may be in hard to reach areas. Disposable batteries also contribute to waste.
Rechargeable Battery Wands: These battery packs can be recharged when needed and can be retrofitted into existing installations, making them a great option for past clients and future ones. This is a great option for sustainability.
Solar Power: The newest innovation in powering motorized shades, solar power is eco-friendly and increasingly popular among homeowners.
Hard-Wired Power: Best suited for new homes or remodels, this option involves running low-voltage electrical to your windows.
The Cost
While the price may seem like a concern, motorized roller shades have become more affordable over time. It never hurts to ask for a quote. We’re happy to show you how the cost compares and how smart home features have drastically dropped in price since their release. But, you might also see how the value they add in terms of comfort, convenience, and security outweighs the cost significantly.
