Since the early 2010s, smart shades have grown in popularity in homes worldwide. Now, with even more advancements and wider integration into smart home systems in recent years, they have become the go-to choice for homeowners seeking cutting-edge technology.

Automated window coverings combine ease of use, energy efficiency, and security, making them a flexible option for our customers. At Accent Window Fashions in Elkhorn, NE, our expert team will help you explore the benefits of smart shades, blinds, and shutters powered by the award-winning Gen 3 version of Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation.

Embracing the Ease of Smart Shades, Blinds, and Shutters

Say goodbye to the physical effort it takes to raise and lower shades—especially those out-of-reach! Gone are the days of standing on a stool to adjust shades on large windows. It's also perfect for older adults who may struggle with arthritis or hand function. Not only do smart shades make your life easier physically, but you can set them to open and close at set times, so you won't ever have to remember to shut the shades at night—they will close on their own.

Maximizing Energy Efficiency with Smart Window Treatments

Since you can set smart shades, blinds, and shutters to open and close at various parts of the day, your home will be far more energy efficient. For instance, in the summer, they can close at noon to keep out the sun that can quickly heat up a home. The most convenient part is, no one will even have to be home! Conversely, in the winter, you can have them open as soon as the sun comes up to utilize those rays and give your heating system a break. For an extra boost of energy efficiency, consider adding PowerView® Automation to cellular honeycomb shades, which feature an insulative design that traps air within their hidden cells to reduce heat transfer.

Creating a Safe and Secure Home Using Smart Shades

Privacy is crucial to making your home the secure sanctuary that you deserve. That's why having smart shades set on a timer to lower when the sun sets and the lights come on is crucial.

Privacy is even more important in urban areas where passers-bys and other prying eyes are more common. Plus, this automatic opening and closing of the shades gives the impression to potential intruders that someone is home and creates more home security since even if you are away for work or on vacation.
