How Motorization can Elevate Screen Shades

What do we love about solar screen shades? Well, there are lots of features that prove especially beneficial in the Georgian sun. First is their ability to transform glaring, raw sunlight into soft, safe interior illumination. They filter UV without blocking the light and preserve the view in a home without sacrificing control. We love the open and airy feeling they bring to the rooms they protect and that they are available in over 130 fabric choices, including the environmentally friendly GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection. And while there are many things to love about solar screen shades, there are also many ways we love to upgrade these popular residential shades, including the addition of a motorized operating system like PowerView®  Automation. There are many reasons why we have fallen in love with motorized screen shades, and we have a few of those to share with you.

5 Reasons to Love Motorized Screen Shades

1. Convenient Control

For many homeowners, the benefit of motorized screen shades that they enjoy most daily is convenience. No more wasted time manually opening and closing shades and having to remember to adjust them throughout the day to respond to the moving sun. PowerView® takes over the mental and physical work of properly using solar screen shades with programmable options for hands-free operation.

2. Improved Efficiency

In order to get the maximum efficiency from any window covering, not just solar screen shades, they have to be used correctly and consistently. And it's the consistency that PowerView® can improve by ensuring that every day, and every hour, the window shade is in an appropriate position to maximize its purpose, be it protecting against UV damage or providing privacy.

3. Child Safety

When it comes to child safety in window coverings, cord-free is the key. PowerView® replaces traditional corded operating systems whose hanging lines pose a strangulation hazard, making a safer, cordless window treatment for family households with young children and small pets.

4. Safeguarded Privacy

PowerView® for screen shades has automated scheduling called custom scenes that allow homeowners to set the scene, so to speak, in any room with PowerView® motorized shades. Program shades to rise with the sun for a natural wake-up call or time shades to close every evening, ensuring residents' privacy without fail. Motorized shades can also be programmed to open and close while the home is unoccupied, creating the illusion of occupation to help guard against opportunistic robbers.

5. Smart Compatibility

PowerView® is an advanced operating system that adds motorization to screen shades and is the latest in online and smart control. There is an online app accessible from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection that homeowners can use on any smartphone or tablet. PowerView® also has the ability to integrate into home assistant programs and smart home systems.
