Enjoy the Benefits of Remote Control Blinds & Shades

Technology has become a part of the fabric of our everyday lives but you might not associate high tech with home decor. Our team at Jackie and Bill's Drapery & Interiors has been ahead of that curve for years, offering the latest automated operating systems from Hunter Douglas. One of the most innovative (and most popular with our clients) is PowerView® Automation for your blinds, shades, and shutters.

The Rise of Remote Control Blinds

Automated window treatments have revolutionized how homeowners and business owners interact with their interiors. Unlike traditional window treatments that require manual adjustments, remote-controlled blinds work with the help of a button via the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or via voice commands when you pair the PowerView® Gateway with your smart home assistant. It’s an effortless, convenient way to control your home's light, balancing privacy and ambiance.

With just a few taps or the right words, you can raise or lower your blinds, adjust their tilt, or even schedule their operation. That level of control makes it easier to adapt to changing needs throughout the day.

Convenience and Ease of Use

One of the primary advantages of remote control blinds or shades is their convenience. Cordless window treatments simplify things by eliminating the need for traditional lift cords. That reduces the risk of cord-related accidents, making them safer for homes with young children and pets. Motorized window treatments are also convenient for people with mobility challenges.

You no longer have to reach across furniture, balance on chairs or ladders, or leave your warm bed to adjust your window treatments. With PowerView® Automation, you can effortlessly manage your blinds and shades from anywhere in the room or even from another location.

Improved Privacy & Light Control

Privacy and light control are essential considerations for any window treatment. Remote control blinds and shades offer precise adjustments that allow you to fine-tune the amount of natural light entering your home. Whether you want a soft glow or block out light entirely, automated blinds have the flexibility to create the perfect atmosphere.

The ability to adjust your shades remotely also means you can quickly adapt to different times of day or changing weather conditions. For example, you can lower your roller shades in the morning to prevent glare from the rising sun or raise them in the evening to enjoy a sunset view.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Automated window treatments contribute to energy efficiency in your home. By controlling the amount of sunlight entering your space, you reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day and manage your home’s temperature more effectively. That can lead to lower energy usage and a more comfortable living environment.

Remote-controlled blinds also allow you to set operating schedules. You can program them to close during the hottest parts of the day to keep your home cooler or open them in the morning to warm your space naturally.

Modern Design Appel

In addition to their functional benefits, automated window treatments add modern elegance to your home. Remote control blinds and cordless shades are available in various styles, colors, and materials, allowing you to choose ones that complement your interior decor. The absence of cords and manual mechanisms also contributes to a clean, uncluttered appearance.

When selecting remote-controlled blinds or cordless window shades, consider the size and style of your windows and your specific light control and privacy needs. Automated blinds are available in fabrics, wood, and vinyl, each offering a different look.

Tips for Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance assure the longevity and functionality of your automated window treatments. Our professional Hunter Douglas certified installers ensure your blinds and shades are mounted correctly and set up the automation system properly.

Clean your motorized window treatments according to the manufacturer’s instructions and follow the remote control or app instructions for best practices. Keeping your window treatments in good condition will help them operate smoothly and look their best.
