The Benefits of Motorized Window Treatments
Modern technology has quickly become a part of our lives. You can command a smart device to play music, have a robot vacuum your carpet, and control your lights from your phone—the list goes on.
So why not explore the benefits of investing in modern technology for your window coverings? Our team at Blinds and Designs has a wealth of knowledge to help you decide if motorized window treatments are the right choice for your home and living style. We carry window coverings from Hunter Douglas, available with motorization options perfect for any room in your home. These motorized window treatments offer safety, security, and energy efficiency to your space with their advanced technology.
Choose Safety with Motorization
When you bring a new item into your home, safety is the number one priority, and this definitely applies to your window treatments. At Blinds and Designs, our motorized window treatments are cordless which prevents hazardous accidents. For homes with curious children or pets especially, cutting the cord helps reduce the risk of choking or strangulation from long, dangling cords—an important factor to consider when choosing new blinds or shades for your space.
Scheduling Your Motorized Window Treatments for Security
When you upgrade your window coverings with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can enjoy the benefits of added security when you are away from home for everyday living or while you’re on an extended vacation.
Simply set your shades or blinds to open and close at certain times of the day so it appears that there is movement in your home. When on a longer vacation, you can easily set the shades to vacation mode. This will give your home a lived-in look the entire time you are away allowing you to truly enjoy a retreat. When your home appears to be occupied, this will deter strangers and make your home less of a target for burglaries or vandalism.
Motorized Shades for Energy Efficiency
Window treatments do more than control the light and offer privacy. In fact, one of their major advantages is their ability to keep your interiors temperate, blocking air at the window to keep the outside air from entering your home. But did you know that choosing motorized window treatments can also save you energy?
Throughout the day, sunlight streaming in through your windows warms your space. During winter, you may want the sun to pour in and warm your interior, but during a hot Carolina summer, that can be counterproductive.
Motorized blinds make this balancing an easy task. As the afternoon sun gets more intense, it’s just a click on your phone or remote and the shades or blinds will be drawn. And likewise, on those sunny winter days, you won’t even have to get up from your chair to let the warmth of the sun pour in.

- Will integrate with your existing automation systems
- Are compatible with Nest®, Logitech® Harmony Home, Control4®, Universal Remote Control (URC®), ELAN Home, Savant®, Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) systems, and more.
