Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

Nearly all of the Hunter Douglas window treatments can be automated now with our Powerview Automation. The exclusive Hunter Douglas Powerview® automation system allows people to enjoy the convenience of opening and closing their windows, blinds, or shades with the touch of a button.

Most of the Powerview window treatments are battery-powered, and the battery is hidden behind the headrail for a sleek design, so you don’t have to worry about it being out in the open.

You also have the option to have your Hunter Douglas Powerview® system to be hard-wired, eliminating the need for batteries. However, the motors that control the window treatments are very quiet so there’s no noise to bother you while your blinds or shades are in motion.

Hunter Douglas Powerview Setup

The Hunter Douglas Powerview setup begins with the new Powerview® Hub, which includes technology that lets you use voice commands to control your window treatments. The Powerview Hub connects to a Wi-Fi router to communicate with your window coverings that feature Powerview automation.

Now, with certain devices, you won’t even need to press a button to command your window blinds or shades. Download the Hunter Douglas Powerview setup app to make the process even easier by allowing you to set scenes and timers, which will put an end to turning your window treatments on-and-off by hand.

Hunter Douglas Alexa, Apple Home, Google

The Hunter Douglas Powerview Hub now supports devices such as Amazon Echo and Alexa to control your window treatments vocally. All you have to do is connect the devices, adjust your settings, and you’re ready to go!

This has made the process of opening and closing your Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Shades effortless. Check out a few of the devices that can be integrated with the Powerview hub.

Amazon Alexa Smart Shades

Once connected, you can command your Alexa device by saying “Alexa, turn on…” followed by the Powerview Scene name. For example, if you say “Alexa, turn on Good Morning,” your Powerview hub will activate the scene-setting for that command and open or close your blinds to the desired setting. Take a look at this video that shows exactly how to connect your Amazon Alexa to your Powerview hub.

Horizon Window Fashions will do the installation for you! The process varies depending on the type of shade or shutter and typically takes around 2 hours.

How to Clean Your Shades

Because Vignette Roman Shades are made using an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric. Here are a few tips to keep your shades looking brand new:

Dusting: To keep your shades dust-free, you can lightly sweep with a feather duster across the tiers.

Vacuuming: If you don't own a duster, a hand-held vacuum or vacuum with a suction attachment is a great alternative to removing dust.

Hair Dryer for Dirt & Debris: If you look at your shades and notice that dirt or debris is starting to collect, you can use your hairdryer (on the cool setting) to clean them out.

Spot-Cleaning: To spot clean your shades, take a cloth or sponge and dip it into a mixture of warm, distilled water and soap. Dab with the dampened cloth until you have gotten your desired result. Allow the shade to dry fully before raising them up!

Hunter Douglas LiteRise or UltraGlide? In this age of rapid technological advancement, your home can be more functional than ever. Our Reno window coverings can be programmed to align with your lifestyle. Hunter Douglas offers operating systems that require an effortless operation to adjust both privacy and light control options.

Individual window treatments may require different operating systems based on how they are used – even if they function in the same shared space. With the Hunter Douglas LiteRise or UltraGlide Lift Systems, you have complete control over your window coverings. Based on each specific window function and needs, you can determine which operating system will suit your lifestyle and home. The best part about it is that you can have both, and with the innovative design features, the window treatments will coordinate nicely, regardless of the lifting system.

Hunter Douglas LiteRise Cordless Lift System


By simply placing your finger on the bottom rail, an upward movement will raise your window treatment. To adjust the amount of light entering—or close it altogether—the opposite motion on the bottom rail will pull the window treatment into place creating effortless operation with exact placement. Also, there are no cords, allowing for enhanced child and pet safety. Functioning efficiently in high traffic areas, the LiteRise Cordless Lift System is perfect for operating your window treatments.

Available on:

Hunter Douglas UltraGlide Lifting System


Featuring one retractable cord. the Hunter Douglas UltraGlide lift system provides you with the ease of function to raise and lower your window treatments. Gently tug on the cord to set the window treatment in the exact position you desire for privacy and light control. The retractable cord is valuable for windows in high traffic areas where access might have obstacles.

Available on:

Mixing Lifting Systems

Hunter Douglas Reno continually provides beautiful versatility with product combination, to offer clients the opportunity to coordinate with other window treatments in a shared space. Preserving the complementary design, while customizing the lift system for the function of the window treatment is such a tailored experience. Let's take a look at how you might mix and match for the perfect combination.

The LiteRise System perfectly fits for the function and use of your Vignette Modern Roman Shades featured throughout your open concept kitchen. However, the roman shade covering the window above your sink would best function with the UltraGlide System, allowing you to reach the cord to position the shade without hassle. Your Vignette Modern Roman Shades provide a beautiful look, with coordinating fabric valances, but more importantly, the shades will have customized functions just for your home.

The LiteRise System provides effortless control of both the light and privacy within your bedroom, but your master bath window is not as convenient to reach. Existing behind the tub, the window treatment would more easily function with the UltraGlide lift system's retractable cord, allowing you the enjoyment of light control and privacy options. Your family room may require both the LiteRise and UltraGlide lift systems due to the placement of furniture, taking into account your windows' location. Considering your window treatments' use and function will help you decide which window treatments should utilize which operating system.

The benefit of using both lift systems is the complementary design features for the coordination of fabrics to offer your home a finished look. We understand the importance of function for your window treatments. Customization is the key, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful view, while quickly adjusting your window treatments to the perfect setting.
