At Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center in Alpharetta, Georgia, we're excited to discuss our selection of Hunter Douglas shades and blinds featuring a major leap in home automation. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation can truly transform your living space and provide boundless innovation for your home's window treatments.

The Modern Miracle of Motorized Window Treatments

Before investing time and money, you must understand how motorized window treatments work. Depending on your privacy and light management needs, you can easily program your window treatments to move independently throughout the day. If you plan to be out of town, you can create different scenarios so that your home appears to be lived in while you are away.


With PowerView® Automation, you won’t have to get up and down during your workday or leisure time to adjust your window treatments. You can maneuver them with the PowerView® app, the 2023 iF Design Award-winning Pebble® Remote Control, or with voice activation when paired with your smart home assistant when paired with the PowerView® Gateway.



This innovative motorized system is the recipient of the prestigious 2023 Mark of Excellence Award from the Smart Home Division of the Consumer Technology Association, where it was named Automated Shade Product of the Year for its flawless design and effectiveness.
