These days, many items we interact with daily can be cordless and hands-free, from automatic car doors to touchless faucets in bathrooms. Hunter Douglas jumped on board that ship years ago when it introduced cutting-edge operating systems for window treatments about three centuries after
the first window shades appeared.
The
Window Magic Blinds & Drapery team is happy to share this cordless blinds and shades guide and welcome any other inquiries about these innovative, convenient systems.
Understanding Cordless Operating Systems
Cordless window
shades and
blinds eliminate the need for dangling cords, which can be a safety hazard, an inconvenience, and an eyesore. Hunter Douglas offers these popular options:
LiteRise®
This system lets you raise and lower your shades and blinds by pushing up or pulling down on the bottom rail. That way, you position your window treatments right where you prefer. It’s a clean look without external cords. LiteRise® doesn’t use motors or wands, either.
SoftTouch®
SoftTouch® has a battery-powered system for easy touch-and-go functionality. You can move your shades or blinds by gently pushing up or pulling down on the wand.
PowerView® Automation
The award-winning
PowerView® Automation system takes cordless window shades to the next level. This motorized solution is cordless and hands-free. You can control your shades through a remote, an app, or voice commands through smart home devices. Program your window treatments to move automatically throughout the day to adjust them to your schedule.
What Are the Benefits of Cordless Window Shades and Blinds?
Cordless window blinds and shades offer many practical advantages besides convenience, including:
- Safety: Cordless window blinds are safer since there are no cords, eliminating hazards for children and pets.
- Durability: Cordless window shades can withstand more wear and tear. These shades typically last longer and require less maintenance.
- Flexibility: PowerView® Automation integrates seamlessly with smart home technology, allowing you to open and close your shades and blinds whenever and wherever.
Additionally, hands-free window treatments work well on hard-to-reach windows like skylights and are excellent features for those with mobility challenges.
How Can I Decide Which System is Best?
We can explain which cordless and hands-free operating systems are compatible with the window treatments you’re most interested in. Your final decision depends on compatibility and the amount of convenience and innovation you’re in the market for.
Consider the room’s function and light control needs when choosing a system. Your bedroom might benefit from motorized shades you program to open gradually in the morning, while a family room window might be well-suited for SimpleLift™.
