The Latest Tech for Blackout and Motorized Shades
It might not seem to you like there’s a lot that's new in the world of window shades, but in truth, the market is a vastly diverse place with advancements to operations and design that have elevated window treatments to better meet the needs of the modern homeowner.
To help keep you informed, this month, Little’s Custom Blinds & Shutters is looking at some of the most popular tech upgrades for window shades, including systems for blackout treatments and motorized shades, so you can better understand the latest advancements in the Hunter Douglas window treatment collection.
The Latest Tech for Blackout Shades
Light control is one of the top reasons homeowners invest in window shades, and the ability to reach blackout darkness represents a pinnacle of that light control. From Hunter Douglas, we see that there are several different systems that address vulnerabilities in a traditional shade’s ability to block light, resulting in expansively darker interiors.
- Duolite®: A design enhancement that allows for a second, room-darkening shade to be added to the back of select Roman shades, cellular shades, roller shades, or sheer shades. The two shades in a Duolite® treatment move independently but work together to provide homeowners with both light filtration and room-darkening abilities. Duolite® is compatible with:
- Vignette® Roman Shades
- Duette® Cellular Shades
- Designer Roller Shades
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades
- LightLock®: Designed for use on Duette® Cellular Shades, the LightLock® system uses u-shaped tracking to eliminate sunlight’s ability to sneak around the edges of a cellular shade. Less light coming in means darker interiors and homeowners who can revel in blackout darkness for better sleep, movie watching, or other activities.
The Latest Tech for Motorized Shades
PowerView® Automation is one of Hunter Douglas’s most popular systems for motorized shades. Not only is it compatible with numerous different types of window treatments, from cellular shades to sheer shades, but it also has a variety of interfaces for homeowners to choose from for their new motorized shades, including:
- PowerView® App: Access your motorized shades from anywhere in the world with the internet through PowerView® Automation, allowing homeowners to set up an automated schedule for their shades.
- PowerView® Remote: Control at your fingertip with the ergonomically designed Pebble® Remote, available in a variety of vibrant colors.
- PowerView® Gateway: A multifunctional component that provides integration with smart home systems, access for remote connection, and acts as a range extender for shade control in multiple rooms.
- PowerView® & Voice Assistants: Control your motorized shades with voice command through integration with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, or Google Assistant.
- PowerView® & Smart Home Systems: PowerView® is compatible with a number of smart home systems, including Brilliant, Clare, Control4, Crestron, ELAN, RTI, Savant, and URC.
