Automated Window Treatments for the Summer Sun

While we love a good sunny day, too much of anything is never good. A lovely summer day can quickly become a hot home filled with a bright light that feels nearly blinding. Of course, running around your home all day adjusting your shades can be just as annoying! Luckily, that's where automated window treatments come in. Learn more about Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation to see if it fits your home.

Convenience

The top benefit of automated shades, blinds, and shutters is their convenience. With a simple tap of an app, touch of a button, or voice command, you can easily control your window treatments. Or, you can schedule your window treatments to open during the morning and evening and close midday when the sun is at its brightest. You can also adjust your window treatments from anywhere in the world, which means you can keep your home shaded and cool even if you are down the street in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, in the office, or on an island far away.

Energy Efficiency

We've all been there: our house is nice and cool, and our energy bills are nauseatingly high. It's no mystery that keeping your home cool during the summer can lead to high energy bills, especially if your air conditioner is working overtime. Automated window treatments can help reduce energy costs by blocking out the sun during peak hours and keeping your home cooler naturally. By programming your automated shades or blinds to close during the hottest part of the day, you can significantly reduce the heat entering your home, thus lowering your reliance on air conditioning.

Protecting Your Interiors

The sun's UV rays can damage furniture, flooring, and artwork over time. Automated window treatments help protect your interiors by blocking out harmful UV rays beating down on Fort Gratiot, Michigan. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation allows you to adjust your window coverings to provide light while protecting your home's floor, artwork, furnishings, and more.

Enhanced Security

For many, summertime is a chance to take that vacation you've been dreaming of all winter. Of course, nothing ruins a vacation faster than realizing you left your window treatments open. In addition to reducing heat gain by closing no matter where you are, automated window treatments can also enhance your home's security. When you're away, you can program your window treatments to open and close at different times, giving the appearance that someone is home. This can be a significant deterrent for potential intruders.
