Why We Recommend Motorized Window Coverings

In 2025, how do you operate your window treatments? Traditional cords, tilt systems, wand systems–the list goes on and on for how modern homes can operate their shades, blinds, and shutters.

However, at Creative Window Designs, we recommend one operation system above all else when it comes to convenience, safety, and security: motorized options for window treatment control. Here are some of the reasons why we love motorized window coverings (and why we think you’ll love them too):

Enjoy Your Windows Your Way

One of the main benefits of motorized shades is that they can be tailored to your preferences.

For example, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation allows you to operate your window treatments with the tap of the PowerView® App, the press of a button with the Pebble® Control, or even with your voice when synced up to your smart home system via the PowerView® Gateway.

With this electric shade system, your window treatments can operate on a pre-made schedule or you can enjoy handsfree control in real time with ease. No more running around your house to enjoy shade, privacy, or sun. You can even program PowerView® shades to adjust according to the rising and setting of the sun to keep your home naturally warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Automation Offers Enhanced Security

Have you ever left your home for a vacation only to realize you left your shades open? Can you not remember if you shut your blinds while driving to work? Are you going away for an extended period and wishing you had a way to make it seem like somebody was home?

Another one of the benefits of electric shades, blinds, and shutters is that they can provide enhanced security to your home. For example, if you think you left your house without shutting your window treatments, you can open the PowerView® App and shut your shades from anywhere in the world. Additionally, if you are going away for an extended vacation, you can schedule your window treatments to open and close throughout the day to make it seem like somebody is home.

Enjoy Added Safety

Old-fashioned corded window treatments can pose a few hazards. For example, if you have small pets or children, there is an increased risk of choking or tripping if you have dangling shade cords. That’s why the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) came together on a safety standard against corded window treatments in 2024.

Additionally, with tall window treatments, you might fall off the chair you are balancing to open or close hard-to-reach window treatment.

With electric options, these risks are put in the past. Since the PowerView® Automation system is inherently cordless, it is a perfect addition to homes with little ones or furry pals running around. And since the system can be operated via the app, remote control, or your voice, adjusting your hard-to-reach treatments is easier than ever. No need to stand on a chair.
