Top 5 Benefits of Remote Control Shades
1. More Than Convenience
The ease of using remote control shades like Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation makes hard-to-reach treatments easy to control. Never struggle with out-of-reach shades when PowerView® Automation allows you to automate your window treatments or open or close your shades with the push of a button. And when they’re easier to control or put on an automated schedule, your window treatments are more likely to be used and used consistently for better energy efficiency.
2. Security and Peace of Mind
With the accessibility PowerView® Automation through the PowerView® App, homeowners are never out of control of their window coverings. Don’t worry again that you left a shade open or walked away from the house and kept a room exposed when you can control your shades from an app on your phone. Plus, when you’re away for extended periods of time for travel, Hunter Douglas automatic blinds or shades can be kept on a schedule through the PowerView® App to maintain the look of occupation, warding off would be thieves from thinking your home is an easy target.
3. Cord-free for Child-Safety
When it comes to your window treatments, the key to pet and child safety is a cordless operating system. By eliminating the cords, you eliminate the hazards they pose to small children and pets.
4. Design Versatility
