3 Reasons You Need Automatic Blackout Window Treatments

While New York City may be known as the city that never sleeps, every New Yorker still needs a solid 6-8 hours of rest each night. At Janovic, we understand the importance of sleep, and our window treatment experts know how to help you find the best window treatments and features for the best night’s sleep.

Our top recommendation is automatic blackout window treatments. Automatic window treatments are window treatments conveniently powered by Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, providing precise light and privacy control at your fingertips. The blackout element allows little to no light through any side of your window treatments. Here are our top 3 reasons why you need this powerful combination on your bedroom windows:

With blackout window treatments, little to no light from street lights, cars, and passersby will seep into your windows. Most window treatments also offer a certain level of insulation, blocking noise as well. Without outside noise or light, you can enjoy an uninterrupted sleep, day or night. If you enjoy a gentle wake-up instead of a loud alarm, you can easily program automatic window treatments to rise with the Sun and close with the sunset.

Adding PowerView® Automation to your blackout window treatments makes everyday life simpler. Slide into bed and easily control your blinds, shades, or shutters with the Pebble® Remote you keep on your bedside table. If you like to scroll through your phone before bed, simply open the PowerView® App to adjust your window treatments when you’re ready for bed. For those who appreciate home automation, use your voice to control your window treatments when you connect PowerView® with your smart home assistant.

If you have children or pets, you likely have a list of worries a mile long. We can help remove a worry from your list. Dangling cords and wands can pose potential safety hazards to young children and pets in your home. While most modern window treatments are cordless, some aren’t. Automation eliminates the safety risks and offers peace of mind.

Automatic Blackout Shades — Duette® Cellular Shades are our top choice for blackout shades. Best known for their energy efficiency and cellular design, they also boast sound absorption and superior blackout capabilities with LightLock®. Hunter Douglas LightLock® features u-shaped channels that fit perfectly into the window frame, deflecting incoming light.

Automatic Blackout Roller Shades — Designer Roller Shades are another great blackout shade option from Hunter Douglas. Like Duette®, this collection offers a blockout system similar to LightLock®, blocking out incoming light. Designer Roller Shades also feature the Duolite® system with a light-filtering sheer and room-darkening liner in one roller shade, making light and privacy control easy.
