Reasons to Shop Motorized Window Treatments

There are several reasons to consider adding motorized window treatments to your home. Motorization can extend the lifespan of your shades because it eliminates the risk of pushing or pulling too hard and damaging your blinds, shades, or shutters. They also reduce energy consumption by opening or closing your window treatments at midday. Additionally, you can enjoy peace of mind when away from home because you can adjust your window coverings to make your home appear occupied.

FAQs About Motorized Window Treatment

To help you fully understand more about the Hunter Douglas automation solution, here are a few frequently asked questions:

Are motorized window treatments worth it?

Although there’s a higher initial cost of motorized shades, blinds, and shutters, we assure you it’s an investment that’ll pay for itself many times over. Motorized blinds offer many benefits, such as:

  • Safe, cordless design for pets and children.
  • Convenience of adjusting the shades on several windows simultaneously.
  • Ability to move window treatments on hard-to-reach windows.
  • Accessible operation for people with limited mobility.
How loud are motorized shades?
Hunter Douglas motorized shades feature whisper-quiet motors that won’t disturb you or your guests. The motors produce a gentle humming sound barely noticeable even in quiet rooms.
How often will I need to charge motorized window treatments?
The type of power source and frequency of usage will determine how often you must change the batteries or recharge your system. However, most systems have an average battery life of one to three years.
How do I clean motorized window treatments?

Here are a few cleaning tips to help maintain your window shades’ appearance:

  • Dust lightly on a regular basis.
  • Compressed air, or a hairdryer on the cool setting, can also be a gentle way to remove dust from certain treatments.
  • For a deeper clean, use the brush attachment of your vacuum, moving the brush in vertical strokes. Most products can be cleaned with this method, except for Luminette® Privacy Sheers, Architella® Elan®, and Architella®
  • Elan Eclipse® fabrics.
  • For best results, don’t use dusting mitts or other magnetic cleaners because they can damage the light-dimming backings.
