Choosing Motorized Shutters and Shades for Your Home
Shutters and shades are great window treatments for adding privacy to your space and controlling the amount of light filtering in. They can also help keep your home’s interior and belongings from fading from the sun’s harsh UV rays. But what about incorporating smart automation into your window treatments? Motorized shutters and shades can add more convenience to your home.
Our team at North Idaho Blinds, Shades, and Shutters can help you explore your options for motorized window treatments.
What Are Motorized Window Treatments?
Motorized window treatments allow homeowners to control their blinds, shades, or shutters without manually twirling a wand or pulling down on a collection of cords. The motorized solution from Hunter Douglas is their award-winning PowerView® Automation. This automation system lets you control your shutters and shades with the PowerView® App, Pebble® Remote, or even voice commands when you pair it with your smart home systems.
You can create schedules for them to open and close. For example, if you like to wake up naturally with the sun, program your shades or shutters to open with the sunrise and close at sunset.
Types of Motorized Shutters and Shades
Hunter Douglas offers motorization solutions for several of their window coverings, including the following shades and shutters:
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
The only Hunter Douglas shutter compatible with PowerView® Automation is the Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. These motorized shutters work best in your bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms due to their ability to withstand heat and humidity. Their Polysatin™ material makes these shutters quite durable, and thanks to the Palm Beach Promise™, your shutters won’t warp, chip, fade, discolor, peel, or crack.
These motorized shutters can fit windows of special shapes, such as:
- Arches.
- Hexagons.
- Bay and corner windows.
- French doors.
- Sidelights.
Vignette® Roman Shades
Vignette® Roman Shades are a classic yet practical and stylish window treatment. These motorized Roman shades have a cordless look, which makes them safer for homes with kids and pets, with consistent fabric folds. Another great benefit of these shades is their energy efficiency. Their materials allow them to work as insulation on your window, keeping spaces like your bedroom or home office comfortable throughout the day.
If you have uniquely shaped windows, these motorized Roman shades can fit the following:
- Arches.
- Angles.
- Trapezoids.
- Circles and ovals.
- Patio and sliding glass doors.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades look and behave like a Roman shade and serve as an alternative to solar and roller window treatments. With these shades, you can enjoy exclusive and unique fabrics and natural materials that Hunter Douglas sources from around the globe. You can also get these shades in various opacities, like sheer and semi-opaque, making them ideal for areas in your home like living or dining rooms.
These shades fit traditionally shaped windows, which you can custom-fit to your window with our window professionals at North Idaho Blinds, Shades, and Shutters. They’re unavailable in specialty-shaped windows.
