Hunter Douglas is introducing an all new way to control shades powered by its PowerView Automation (like the recently upgraded arch and angle shades) with the new PowerView Tap. The company is also rolling out a significant expansion of its Designer Roller and Skyline fabric collection, adding 42 new fabric styles to the collection.
The expanded assortment spans modern geometrics, dimensional textures and organic-inspired textiles, with greater opacity choices, a new Eco Collection and additional options for Duolite and Dual Roller configurations.
Hunter Douglas also points out that in purchasing its different designs, CI dealers no longer need to make the upfront investment in purchasing fabric books, being able to access those designs as part of the Hunter Douglas Custom Integrator Program.
What is PowerView Tap?
PowerView Tap offers simple, direct control of a single shade or group of shades through a three-button Up, Stop and Down interface.
Designed to complement the existing PowerView control options, Tap can be used on a tabletop or wall-mounted and customized through the PowerView App.
Double-click functionality supports additional operation for products such as Top-Down Bottom-Up and Duolite, giving integrators another way to match control to the application and homeowner preference.
“Since launching PowerView, Hunter Douglas has been committed to giving homeowners choice in how they control their shades, from the PowerView App and integrations with leading smart home control systems to the robust functionality of our award-winning PowerView Pebble Remote,” said Scott Stephenson, Sr. Director of Product, Global Motorization at Hunter Douglas.
“PowerView Tap expands those choices with a streamlined, tactile option focused on simplicity, giving integrators another way to match the control experience to the homeowner and the space.”
Why Integrators Should Take Note
The introductions tackle two major aspects of shading specification: how homeowners interact with their shades and how the window treatments complement the look of the home. The first part is key as, increasingly, homeowners have sought out simplified, direct means of controlling the different parts of the home.
