The Ultimate Dream: Motorized Blinds for High Windows
High windows are certainly dramatic and add stunning architectural details to a home, but they come with a catch: How do you reach them to open and close the blinds? Ladders, extension poles, and awkward reaching are the usual workarounds, none of which are very practical or safe.
If you have high windows, our team at Smart PNW can solve this problem. We help our local Pacific Northwest homeowners take control of this situation with motorized window blinds that can be operated with ease via a remote, app, or voice commands.
Why You Need Motorized Blinds for High Windows
If you leave high windows uncovered, excessive heat and brightness come in. Over time, that constant, direct sunlight may fade wallpaper, photos, flooring, and furniture. Uncovered windows also make the space uncomfortable with the heat or the sun glaring into your eyes at the same time every day.
But if you cover them with blinds, you'll need to make constant adjustments as the sun moves across the sky. Otherwise, if you keep the blinds closed, it’s too dark, and if you keep them wide open, it’s too hot and sunny.
Motorized house window treatments solve these problems without sacrificing style, and with the right system, every window, no matter how high, can be controlled from one place.
How Do Hunter Douglas Motorized Blinds Work?
Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is the most capable motorized system available for home use. It allows blinds to move on schedules you set, day or night, whether you're home or away, and it’s operated via the PowerView® App, voice commands with your smart home system, or the Pebble® Remote.
For high windows, that kind of hands-free control is priceless.
The automated system also lets you create preset or customized scenes that move each shade to a specific position, with the option to schedule them for sunrise or sunset. Your high window blinds can automatically let in morning light, then close against afternoon heat, all without the need for a ladder or standing on furniture.
What Hunter Douglas Blinds Are Compatible With PowerView® Automation?
Hunter Douglas offers PowerView® Automation on most of their window blinds, including:
- Parkland® Wood Blinds.
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds.
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds.
- Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds.
This kind of variety matters, especially for high windows where premium blinds should make a real visual statement.
How Do Motorized Blinds Increase Energy Efficiency?
Motorized blinds for high windows offer more than just convenience; they help create a more energy-efficient home. Large, high windows are significant sources of solar heat gain and loss in winter.
Automated coverage during peak hours is a smart way to reduce cooling costs. Schedule PowerView® Automation to raise and lower the blinds throughout the day, filtering sunlight before it heats up a room.
