Integrating Automation

vikingblinds • May 12, 2020

 

Making the decision to redo your windows can be exciting due to the endless possibilities when it comes to both style and functionality. Regardless of your desired aesthetic, we at Viking Blinds are confident that we can assist you in finding the perfect match for your unique design goals. One option that we believe could be beneficial to contemplate is integrating automation, as this Hunter Douglas system can instantly infuse a new level of convenience into your everyday life.



One of the benefits of integrating automation is that the entire system can be controlled in two unique ways. The first way that you can dictate the movement of your window treatments is by using the associated app. Through the application, which can be used on either Apple or Android devices, you will have the option to have your shades move on their own throughout the day without any extra intervention from you.


Along the lines of programming your shades, you can also set them so that they raise or lower during the hottest or coldest times of the day. As a result, you could then lower your monthly energy bills and have a more enjoyable temperature inside each room that these are placed in. Integrating automation can come with a lot of unexpected benefits.


In contrast, you may instead decide that you would like to reposition your window fashions with a remote instead of through a smartphone or tablet. If so, the Pebble® remote control can give you a variety of options that will likely be useful for you. Through this piece of technology, you will be able to move up to six shades at once, either as a group or individually. This is another one of the benefits of integrating automation.


Aside from integrating automation, you may instead opt for shutters when upgrading your living space. At Viking Blinds, we have three unique styles, each with their own characteristics. Our Heritance® hardwood shutter is made from genuine hardwood and can be customized to fit doors of any size. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ shutters are made from a special material that guarantees the pieces will never warp, fade, or crack. Finally, NewStyle® Hybrid shutters combine the best of both worlds as they mimic the look of real hardwood wild providing the manmade durability that you desire.


If you would like to find out more information about integrating automation, please get in touch. We are located at 14244 Plymouth Ave. in Burnsville, MN, 13716 – 83rd Way N in Maple Grove, MN, 7035 Wayzata Blvd. in St. Louis Park, MN, and 8362 Tamarack Village in Woodbury, MN. Given the current social circumstances, we ask you to call ahead before heading over to visit us in person.


If you would like additional assistance at your residence, our service area extends far beyond our physical locations. We proudly serve St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, Burnsville, Woodbury, MN, and would love to add you to our list of satisfied customers. Contact us today to begin learning about integrating automation. We look forward to hearing from you.
