Living in Denver means embracing a modern, fast-paced lifestyle—whether you’re heading to the office downtown or escaping to the mountains for a weekend of skiing. But while you're out enjoying everything Colorado has to offer, is your home working for you?
If you are still manually adjusting your blinds every time the sun hits your west-facing windows, it’s time for an upgrade. At Guiry's, we’ve seen a massive shift toward PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas.
Here are five reasons why motorized smart shades are becoming the new standard for Denver homeowners:
1. Hands-Free Climate Control![]()
The Colorado sun is intense, especially at 5,280 feet. In the summer, solar heat gain can turn your living room into a greenhouse. With motorized shades, you can schedule your window treatments to close automatically during the hottest part of the day, keeping your home cool and reducing your AC costs.
2. Protect Your Interiors from High-Altitude UV
We love our Benjamin Moore paint colors and hardwood floors, but Denver’s UV rays are relentless. Smart shades can be programmed to tilt or close based on the sun’s position, protecting your art, furniture, and flooring from fading without you having to lift a finger.
3. Added Security While You’re in the Mountains
Heading to Vail or Breckenridge for a few days? Nothing says "nobody is home" like closed blinds that never move. With the PowerView® App, you can adjust your shades from your phone anywhere in the world or set a "Vacation Mode" to make your home look occupied.
4. Seamless Integration with Your Smart Home
Whether you use Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, Hunter Douglas motorized shades play well with others. You can simply say, "Alexa, start my morning," and watch your shades rise to let in the sunrise over the Rockies.
5. Cordless Safety
for Kids and Pets
Beyond the tech, there is a major safety benefit. Motorized shades are completely cordless. This creates a sleek, minimalist look for your windows and, more importantly, eliminates the risk of dangling cords for homes with curious toddlers or pets.
