Automation FAQs
Which of your window treatment styles can be motorized?
Most of our treatments can be motorized, including shades, drapes, blinds, and shutters. We offer the only motorized interior shutters with concealed batteries currently on the market. We also offer motorized outdoor roller shades.
I'm building a new home. When should I get started on my window treatments?
It’s never too early to get started on your motorization/automation plans! Bring us your home plans before or during construction. We will provide a review to ensure that the most up-to-date wiring and shade placement is reflected in your home’s plan. We will coordinate with your builder, architect, and interior designer to customize the automated window treatments your new home deserves.
Request a pre-build consultation.
Can you help me pre-wire for motorized shades in the new home I'm building?
Yes. Drapery Street specializes in prewiring for motorized window treatments in new build projects. We can motorize any type of window treatment including drapes, shades, shutters, and blinds. By working alongside your construction team, Drapery Street will ensure all of your treatments are flawless by move-in day. We focus on the details such as:
-Correct pocket sizes for recessed treatments
-Wiring & outlets in the appropriate spots to completely hide electrical power
-Wire spaces with proper voltage to accommodate window treatment specifications
-Location of wall switches to operate motorized shades
-Integration with your home automation system of choice
-Selecting the best treatment for every window & door, taking into account the functionality required (room darkening, light filtering, privacy, -UV protection) & the aesthetic of the room
-The exterior/streetside view of your home
We manage the process every step of the way through our proven pre-build and integration process, allowing you to relax and know every detail is covered.
Can I motorize window treatments in an existing home?
Yes. You do not need to build a new home in order to automate your window treatments. We have motorization options that work in existing homes without needing to open up the walls for wires nor run wires down your window frames.
Are your motorized treatments compatible with my home automation system?
Our treatments can integrate with most home automation systems. Compatible systems include Google Assistant, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Crestron®, Logitech®, Lutron, Control4®, Elan®, IFTTT, URC®, RTI, and Savant®.
Do I have to use a home automation or voice assistant to operate my power shades?
No. You can operate your shades with a remote control, wall switch, or with your mobile phone or tablet.
Do I have to automate every window treatment in my home?
No. You can automate all your window treatments, some of them, or even just one of them. Some people find that they only need to motorize one or two hard-to-reach windows in their home.
Can I program my shades to move on their own throughout the day?
Yes! Program your shades to open with the sunrise and close with the sunset or set them to adjust throughout the day, letting in the precise amount of light you prefer. Our install team will ensure you know how to program your shades and set custom scenes before leaving your home. And if you need help later, we are just a phone call away.
Should I work with a tech company to automate my window treatments?
You would never ask your electrician to pick out your chandelier, so why let a tech company choose your window treatments? Many times, tech companies only have one or two window treatment options, whereas Drapery Street can automate nearly any type of treatment, from shutters to outdoor shades. When you work with Drapery Street, you will be working with a full-service team that knows both design & tech.
How do motorized treatments enhance my home's security?
Easily give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling shades to automatically raise and lower at set times. With the PowerView® app, you can operate your shades from anywhere in the world.
How do motorized treatments help the energy efficiency of my home?
With PowerView® you can schedule shades to raise and lower throughout the day to prevent harsh summer rays from heating interiors up or to prevent heat loss in the winter. This feature can save you money on your energy bills.
Are motorized window treatments really safer for kids?
Yes! The window coverings industry uses warning tags, labels and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window coverings. Because motorized treatments lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords for both kids and pets.
Where can I see motorized window treatments in action before I buy?
Visit one of our showrooms to experience our automated window treatments in action. Our interactive, full-size displays allow you to operate many types of treatments, from shades to shutters, using PowerView® automation. You can compare PowerView with our other operating systems to find the best fit for your needs.
We have showrooms in Carmel and Fishers Indiana.
What kind of light control do your motorized treatments offer?
Hunter Douglas motorized treatments come in a variety of opacities, from room-darkening to light-filtering. Top-down/bottom-up operation is available on many of our motorized shades, which provides even more flexible light control.
Do you offer a warranty on your motorized products?
We stand behind all our products, including our motorized products. We offer a Love It Guarantee, Limited Lifetime Warranty, and Hunter Douglas Right Choice Promise, which provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We pride ourselves on providing high-quality products and expert design services… all to bring our customers the best possible experience. Know that we’re here for you every step of the way.
