Motorize Your Window Treatments with PowerView® Automation

Have you ever come home from a trip and noticed every shade in the house wide open, broadcasting to the whole street that no one was there? Or maybe you've climbed onto a wobbly stool to close blinds on a window that’s too high to reach, only to lose your balance halfway through.

If those scenarios sound familiar, you don’t have to live like that. Our team at Window Magic Blinds & Drapery has a solution: motorized window treatments powered by Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.

What Is PowerView® Automation?

PowerView® Automation is a system from Hunter Douglas that lets you control your shades with a remote, voice commands, or an app. Instead of walking from room to room adjusting each window by hand, you can raise or lower every shade in the house from one location without effort. Additionally, schedules can be set so shades open at sunrise and close at dusk, giving the impression that someone is always home, even when no one is.

Motorized Window Treatments Add Safety and Security

For windows placed above stairwells, behind furniture, or high on a wall, reaching a cord can be awkward or downright dangerous; for those with mobility challenges, it can be especially challenging. PowerView® Automation removes that risk: There's no cord to grab, no stool to stand on, and no stretching across furniture to catch a pull chain. Everyone in the household, including kids and older family members, can use this cordless system effortlessly and safely.

Shades that open and close on their own suggest that someone is at home, which can discourage anyone who might want to break in. And if you have young children or small pets, this cordless system eliminates the potential choking hazard posed by manual cords.

PowerView® Automation Controls Light and Regulates Room Temperatures

Sunlight moves throughout the day, and a fixed shade position rarely suits every hour. With built-in scheduling options, PowerView® Automation shades can lift in the morning to let in natural light, lower slightly at midday to cut glare on a television or computer screen, and close fully at night for privacy. That fine-tuned adjustment regulates indoor temperature, too; blocking direct sun during peak afternoon hours can ease the load on air conditioning.​

Motorized Window Treatments Protect Furniture and Floors

Direct sunlight fades fabric, wood, and flooring over time, but a shade that opens and closes on a set schedule limits how long those harmful UV rays hit a couch, rug, or hardwood floor each day. Homeowners who travel often or work long hours especially benefit here, since manual shades tend to stay in whatever position they were left — sometimes for weeks.
