With both manual and automated solutions, we can address common concerns like maintenance, energy efficiency, security, and installation. 

We dive into these topics below, so keep reading to learn more. 

MORE ON SHADING: Personalize Your Smart Home with Hunter Douglas

Are Hunter Douglas Shades Durable? Yes!

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have about automated shading is durability. Luckily, Hunter Douglas designs its shades, blinds, and shutters to offer long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep. They’re also low-maintenance, plus a professional installation and setup ensures optimal performance from day one.

Automated Shades, Minimal Effort – With PowerView Automation, shades adjust on demand or according to a schedule so that you can eliminate the wear and tear from frequent manual adjustments. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, PowerView Automation makes control effortless with app and voice activation.

Quality Craftsmanship – Hunter Douglas products are engineered for longevity, delivering smooth operation year after year, whether it’s wood blinds, cellular shades, or custom drapery, 

Battery vs. Hardwired Shades? It Depends.

Whether outfitting a single room or designing a whole-home shading system, Elite Media Solutions can help you choose the right power source for a stunning, long-term solution.

When considering motorized shades, you’ll need to consider battery-powered and hardwired options. Each has its advantages, depending on your home’s layout and needs. 

Wire–Free Shades 

These are ideal for existing homes where wiring isn’t as accessible as in new construction. Battery-operated window treatments offer hassle-free installation with long-lasting, rechargeable batteries. You can also choose a solar charger option that works well in low-light north-facing windows! 

Hardwired Shades 

These are best for new construction or major renovations. Hardwired shades eliminate the need for battery replacements and provide seamless, uninterrupted operation using a DC power supply.

Can Smart Shades Really Provide Privacy and Security? Yes!

Windows provide beautiful views, of course, but if you leave them open all day and night, or if they’re backlit from outside in the evenings, they can also create privacy and security concerns. 

Instead, use automated scheduling to maintain a sense of comfort and protection without sacrificing natural light. For example, you can use the PowerView app to set shades to close at sunset for automatic privacy, even when you’re away. One tap or swipe can adjust window coverings from anywhere, so your home looks occupied.

For total privacy, consider blackout cellular shades for bedrooms. Consider light-filtering sheer panels in shared spaces to allow more light into a room. Hunter Douglas offers solutions tailored to privacy needs in every room without requiring daily manual adjustments.

Custom Shading Options for Any Room, Any Window

It’s unlikely that every window in your home is the same size or shape. Luckily, Hunter Douglas offers flexible options, whether you’re working with standard windows, oversized glass doors, or unique architectural features. Our experts handle everything from product selection to installation, resulting in a flawless fit for your needs.

Shades for Every Window – Choose from roller and honeycomb shades or sheer panels and drapes. There’s an option for any aesthetic or functional need.

Smart Home Integration – Automated shades seamlessly connect with leading home automation and control platforms like Control4, Lutron, and Josh.

Professional Installation – A professional installation ensures proper alignment, motor calibration, and smart home connectivity for the best performance and longevity.

5 Rooms to Add New Window Coverings

Not all rooms benefit from the same type of shade. Here’s where and how we suggest different Hunter Douglas solutions:

  1. Bedrooms – Blackout Duette Honeycomb Shades provide room-darkening features for uninterrupted sleep. Custom drapery adds a touch of luxury.
  2. Living Rooms – Light-diffusing sheer panels balance privacy and natural light, creating a warm and inviting space.
  3. Home Offices – Automated roller shades reduce glare on screens while preserving outdoor views.
  4. Kitchens & Dining Areas – Adjustable wood blinds or cellular shades optimize daylight while maintaining insulation.
  5. Bathrooms – Moisture-resistant vinyl shutters offer durability and privacy without compromising on design.
