Motorized Window Treatments in 2025
As smart home technology continues to evolve rapidly, homeowners in Mount Pleasant and surrounding areas are turning to innovative window treatment solutions to transform their living spaces.
At Advanced Window Fashions, motorized window treatments are the most in-demand upgrade homeowners request. These modern marvels are redefining home efficiency, functionality, and convenience for 2025. Here are our top five reasons you should get motorized window treatments this year:
1. Unparalleled Convenience
Wouldn’t you love to adjust your window coverings without getting out of bed to struggle with tangled or hard-to-reach cords? With a motorized window treatment, you can use a simple button tap or voice command to open and close blinds, shades, or motorized window shutters.
Automated systems like Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation enable you to connect your lifestyle, sunlight, and privacy preferences to your window treatments. Whether you enjoy basking in the morning sun's warmth or seek privacy from the outside world, you can schedule PowerView® Automation to automatically adjust your shades, shutters, and blinds throughout the day and season by season.
2. Improved Energy Efficiency
Programming your shades, blinds, or shutters to open and close based on the time of day allows you to better regulate temperatures inside your home and help reduce your power bill.
During a typical hot South Carolina summer, you can schedule your motorized shades to lower during the most intense periods of sunlight, helping keep your living spaces cooler.
You can also set your shades to open during cold winter months to let more sunlight in and increase natural warmth through solar heating. Using this smart technology to improve your home’s energy management can lead to noticeable savings on your power bills.
3. Enhanced Home Security
Using PowerView® Automation can also add an extra layer of security to your home. Programming your window treatments to open and close at predetermined times of the day or night can create the illusion of someone living in your home. Home occupancy is one of the top deterrents to potential intruders.
For extra privacy, you can also set a schedule that closes your shades when you leave your home and opens just before you return.
Remotely controlling your shades with Bluetooth technology, which offers real-time, two-way communication, adds peace of mind whether you’re across town or traveling internationally.
4. Seamless Integration with Smart-Home Systems
In today’s modern home, smart-home technology is no longer an accessory. It’s a standard feature. Motorized window treatments can seamlessly integrate with smart-home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
You can create a voice command with Alexa to have the phrase “Good Morning” raise the shades in your kitchen window when you start the day with your first cup of coffee. You can also create a “Goodnight” scene to close all the living room and bedroom shades when you’re ready to go to bed.
5. Increased Property Value
Upgrading your window treatments to motorized treatments like the Hunter Douglas PowerView® system is more than a practical decision about improving convenience and privacy. Home buyers now expect smart-home technology, which is often considered a feature that increases a home’s value.
Installing motorized window treatments will enhance your home’s appeal and help set it apart in today’s competitive market.
