Imagine a world where your window treatments can adjust themselves automatically, creating the perfect room ambiance morning, noon and night. That’s the beauty of PowerView Automation from Hunter Douglas—recipient of the 2016 Red Dot Design Award, the most coveted and prestigious designation in the world of design.

Programming your window treatments is simple with PowerView^®. Operate them from home with the Pebble^® Remote Control or through voice activation when PowerView is integrated with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Siri^® on your Apple device or the Google Assistant. For the ultimate in convenience, the PowerView^® App is a perfect way to manage your shades when you’re home or away.

Added Convenience—Easily control shades with a button press, tap on your mobile device, automatically, or even with your voice (when integrated with a compatible smart-home system).

Increased Privacy—Schedule shades to automatically close whenever you want.

Better Energy Efficiency—Schedule shades to raise and lower to prevent harsh summer rays from heating interiors up or to prevent heat loss in the winter.

Enhanced Security—Easily give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling shades to automatically raise and lower at set times.

Safer for Children—Because smart shades lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords.

Whether you are just getting started or are a home automation enthusiast with many connected devices already in play, you can create a personalized whole-home connected experience by integrating PowerView Automation with compatible smart home systems.

PowerView is compatible with the following home automation systems: Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Control4, Creston, Elan, RTI, and URC.

All of our window treatments are designed with safety in mind—a responsibility Drapery Street and Hunter Douglas take very seriously. From cordless and motorized operating systems, retractable lift cords, cord tensioners and wand controls, we offer a wide array of operating system options for enhanced child and pet safety.

Without energy-efficient window treatments, as much as 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. All Hunter Douglas window treatments provide window insulation, offering your home increased protection against heat loss during the winter, as well as minimizing the sun’s heat or “solar heat” during the summer.

Hunter Douglas is the industry leader in making a big energy savings difference at the window. In 1985, Hunter Douglas invented the highly energy-efficient Duette^® honeycomb shades in response to the energy crisis of the late 1970s. More recently, they’ve introduced Duette Architella^® honeycomb shades, which offer superior energy efficiency thanks to their patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction, and Vignette^® Tiered Architella Shades, featuring rear fabric air pockets that trap air and create an extra layer of insulation.

Your designer will help you choose an energy-efficient treatment that will meet your other needs too, like privacy and light control. Learn more about our energy-efficient cellular shades here.

UV stands for ultraviolet. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can be very damaging. It’s important that our window treatments block the sun’s UV rays to protect flooring and furnishings from fading and other types of damage. UV protection is the measure of the amount of potentially damaging ultraviolet radiation that is blocked by our products. Typically for non-sheer window treatments this is 98% to 99% blockage. Even our Hunter Douglas sheer window treatments, like Silhouette® Window Shadings, block up to 88% of UV rays with the vanes open.

Drapery Street two interactive showrooms — one in Fishers, Indiana and our flagship location in Carmel, Indiana.

Our Carmel showroom is located on the first floor of the Indiana Design Center in Carmel, Indiana. Our address is 200 South Rangeline Rd. Suite 109, Carmel, IN 46032.

You don’t have to bring a thing to your first design consultation, but it can be more productive if you have the following with you:

• Inspirational pictures from magazines or websites that showcase the style you’d like to achieve.
• Photos of your space and your windows.
• Paint names and fabric swatches of your furniture.
• Rough measurements of your room and window. Don’t worry about exact measurements! We’ll visit your home to verify measurements before a final purchase is made.

No need to worry about taking your own measurements — we take care of everything from start to finish! There are often options that need to be considered in terms of measurement and placement of drapery, shades, blinds, and shutters. That’s why we send our extensively trained installers to take professional measurements once your selections have been made and before the order has been placed. We only use our own professional installers, never subcontractors.

We are always here to help, even long after your purchase! If you need a repair or support, please give us a call at 317-816-9774 or fill out our repair form here.
