The Benefits of Motorized Shutters near St. Louis Park, MN
The Benefits of Motorized Shutters
Shutters are a wonderful addition to any home. They offer a robust alternative to window blinds and fabric shades without compromising on versatility. Plantation shutters are a classic window treatment piece. Traditionally made from natural hardwood, shutters are designed to complement your home’s wooden fixtures, like cabinetry, moldings, and handcrafted furniture. However, many people don’t know that shutters also come in motorized options. You can enjoy the same, timeless appeal of hardwood shutters while enjoying all of the benefits of an innovative motorization system. At Viking Blinds, we’re excited about our collection of Hunter Douglas shutters known for their premium construction and attention to detail. This month on the blog, we want to focus on the benefits of incorporating motorized shutters into your home, and why it’s an upgrade well worth your consideration.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Plantation shutters are one of the best window treatments out there for helping your home run more efficiently. Shutters work to protect your windows from prolonged sunlight exposure, as well as insulate your room against leaking air that would otherwise put a strain on your home’s central heating and cooling. Motorized shutters, like the Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters from Hunter Douglas, take this to the next level with adaptive technology that syncs with your local sunrise/sunset hours, making it easy to keep your home protected against intense midday sunlight when you’re away at work. With the ability to program custom schedules in the PowerView® smartphone app, you can manage your home’s lighting even when you’re away. Never return home from work to a dark and stale home again. Program your shutters to open just before you return home for the ultimate energy conservation without compromising on a fully lit and inviting home.
Ultimate Accessibility
PowerView® Automation puts your entire home’s lighting at your fingertips through the convenient PowerView® smartphone app or minimalistic Pebble® remote. With motorization, you can finally take control of those hard-to-reach windows in your home. PowerView® even lets you operate you shutters with the sound of your voice using Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant. Switch seamlessly between motorized and manual operation without worrying about burning up the internal motor. PowerView® is also totally safe for homes with pets and children, so you don’t have to worry about exposed wires, batteries, or motors getting in the way of enjoying your home.
Durability You Can Count On
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters boast a unique combination of man-made and natural materials that create an ultra-durable and long-lasting window treatment. Palm Beach™ features a special DuraLux™ Finish that preserves your shutters in a beautiful matte sheen that’s designed to stand up to extensive moisture and sunlight exposure. Palm Beach™ is available in 3 stunning colors that won’t warp, fade, crack, yellow, or warp no matter how extreme the conditions, making them perfect for your bathroom, kitchen, or homes where you like to fling open your shutters during the day for fresh air.
