5 Benefits of Automatic Blinds for Your Home

Viking Blinds • March 28, 2025

Automatic blinds are an excellent way to upgrade your home’s window treatments. If you’re considering investing in them but are unsure if it’s a worthwhile investment, the number of incredible benefits that these Hunter Douglas blinds offer will convince you! Let’s get to know them as the Viking Blinds team shares the top five benefits of automatic window blinds.

Automatic Window Blinds Are Convenient

Most people's lives are moving faster than they like, so extra convenience is always a win. Automatic motorized blinds allow you to move your window coverings without abandoning the comfy spot on the couch or in your bed. They also give you access to tall or hard-to-reach windows without rearranging furniture or getting a step stool. PowerView® Automation is compatible with many of today’s popular smart home systems, so you can integrate it via the PowerView® Gateway and control your blinds using voice commands.

Automatic Motorized Blinds Increase Your Home’s Value

Even if you don’t plan to sell soon, investing in motorized blinds will make your house more desirable should you decide to. While they don’t increase your home's appraisal value, they give it a well-cared-for appearance and save buyers from having to install the feature themselves. Automatic blinds also elevate the ambiance of your home to one that is upscale and modern.

Your Home Will Be More Secure with Automatic Blinds

Unoccupied homes are an easy target for criminals. One of our favorite features of automatic motorized blinds is that they give the illusion of someone being at home even if they’re not. You can set schedules for your blinds to open and close at certain times of day or adjust them anytime with the PowerView® App. For additional peace of mind, you can add automatic blinds to doors and windows.

Automatic Window Blinds Have a Long Lifespan

Many homeowners are apprehensive about automatic blinds because they fear they will need frequent repairs. This is actually the opposite of the truth. When you use a remote to control your window treatments, the force is consistently the ideal amount. You’ll never pull too hard or move the slats too far in one direction.

Enjoy Energy Efficiency with Automatic Blinds

When you’re out of the house during midday, you lose the opportunity to open your blinds and use the sun as a heat source. During the warmer months, closing them when the sign is at its highest can keep your home cooler. You can also schedule every set of blinds to move simultaneously, eliminating the need to travel around your house to adjust them individually.
