Motorized Window Coverings
Your blinds, on your schedule
Motorization used to be a luxury add-on. Today it's the simplest upgrade you can make to your home — open every shade in the house with one touch, set schedules that follow the sun, and lose the cords for good.
Why homeowners are switching:
- Convenience — control hard-to-reach windows (skylights, tall great-room windows, behind the bathtub) without a stepladder.
Cordless safety — no dangling cords: safer for kids and pets.
Energy savings — schedule shades to close during hot afternoons and open for winter sun; honeycomb shades in particular cut heat loss at the window.
Security — set shades to open and close while you're away so the house looks lived-in.
Accessibility — one touch instead of tugging cords, ideal for anyone with limited mobility.
Hunter Douglas PowerView
PowerView is the motorization platform we install and service. One system runs your whole home:
- PowerView App — control every shade from your phone, set rooms, scenes ("Good morning," "Movie night"), and schedules that run automatically.
Pebble Remote — a handheld remote that controls individual shades or whole rooms.
PowerView Tap (new) — a simple 3-button wall/tabletop controller: up, stop, down. Double-click for top-down/bottom-up on compatible shades. No phone, no app, no learning curve — great for guests and for anyone who finds the tech side intimidating.
Voice control — works with major smart-home platforms; ask your shades to open.
PowerView also comes in two specialty options: PowerView+ (low-voltage hardwired power with ultra-quiet motors — no batteries to change) and PowerView AC (for banks of windows up to 240 inches wide, like full walls of glass).
One app for the whole house — including Alta
Motorized Alta Window Fashions shades (roller, honeycomb, woven wood, sheer) now run on the same PowerView app as Hunter Douglas. That means we can design full-home automation that fits your budget: Hunter Douglas where you want the premium fabrics, Alta where the budget matters — all controlled from one place, no second system.
Which products can be motorized?
Most of the line: roller shades, Duette honeycomb shades, Silhouette and Pirouette sheer shadings, Luminette privacy sheers for patio doors, woven woods, and more. If you're not sure about a specific window, that's what the free consultation is for.
