Hunter Douglas Motorized Shades
Hunter Douglas is a well-known name in window treatments. Designers know it for their extensive catalog of styles, colors, and fabrics. With the company's PowerView system, most of them can be motorized and automated to create inviting, luxurious environments in any room in your home. For energy efficiency, you can use styles with an insulating layer that keeps heat in in the winter and heat gain out in the summer. Light filtering fabrics let you harness natural light in your rooms without fading your furnishings and finishes with too much UV exposure. In bedrooms, Hunter Douglas can do dual-powered solutions with a blackout shade to eliminate light so you can sleep in when you want to.
PowerView shades can be integrated into automated scenes to set the right ambiance for any activity, from daytime to movie night to bedtime, for privacy, light control, and comfort. While the PowerView system has its own automation controls, for even more power and flexibility, Hunter Douglas is also manageable to work with consumer automation platforms like Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa to comprehensive smart home systems like Control4 and Crestron.
Universal Screens MotionScreen
Motorized shading is not just for indoor spaces. Outdoors, solutions like Universal Screens MotionScreen let you manage your outdoor environment too. Just like inside the home, too much sun can cause discomfort or limit your use of your patios at certain times of the day. Tame the sun with outdoor shading that can lower at the push of a button, a trigger from a light or heat sensor, or a schedule. Light filtering fabric lets in light but minimizes UV rays, creating a more comfortable environment and protecting your outdoor furniture from excessive fading. If your outside areas are not fully out of view from neighbor backyards, MotionScreen screens add an extra layer of privacy to your gatherings.
In spring and summer, bugs can be pesky, especially for outdoor meals. Outdoor shades can help seal off your patio and greatly reduce bugs on your patio. On a sunny winter day, wind can make your outdoor space colder. Outdoor shades can cut the wind and work with outside heaters to create a cozier environment to enjoy brisk fall days and evenings outside. With the relatively mild Arkansas winters, MotionScreen automated shades can let you enjoy your outdoor spaces in all four seasons. And MotionScreen shading can also be integrated with smart home systems for automated simplicity to control outdoor lights, shades, and entertainment.
