Manage Sunlight Effortlessly with Motorized Blinds
Explore the Benefits and Features of Automated Window Coverings
Sunlight streaming through your windows is both breathtakingly beautiful and damaging. There’s nothing more stunning than illuminating your home with natural light and nothing quite as destructive as UV rays. So, the question is, how do we enjoy the sun’s magnificent light while protecting the interior of our homes? The answer lies in motorized blinds.
These window coverings automatically adjust, maintaining the ideal level of outdoor lighting. Let’s see how it’s done and how we manage daylight and privacy in Columbia County, NY.

Managing Motorized Shades
You can adjust every shade in your home with precise control and near-perfect synchronicity. Aligning to within 1/16 inch of each other brings an elegant look to a row of windows as the shades rise and lower. Tap the room, your entire home, or the specific shade on a remote or touchscreen, and it responds.
These shades also adjust based on direct sunlight. As it enters your home, heating a room, the shades lower to protect your fine art and furnishings. As it continues its path across the sky, they open, allowing in the beauty and warmth of filtered sunlight.
Automated Motorized Blinds
At Hippo’s, we partner with the leaders in home automation. In shade control, the industry leaders are Lutron and Hunter Douglas. Lutron’s wood blinds, one of their many smart window coverings, are made from North American basswood and offer automatic tilting.
Their Natural Light Optimization automatically adjusts the tilt of the two-inch wood slats, letting in just the right amount of light. With eight different finishes, including Red Mahogany, Walnut, Arctic White, and Light Oak, you’re ensured the ideal aesthetics for your home.
Some of their other offerings include customized curtain track systems, Roman shades, and horizontal sheer blinds that combine the beauty of sheer fabric with the precise control of a blind.
Programmed for Your Lifestyle
Consider how you manage your window coverings throughout the day. For some people, that translates to opening them in the morning, closing them due to excessive heat, and leaving them in that position for the remainder of the day.
But what if your intelligent window coverings could take the lead? What if they opened in the morning, closed when direct light entered a room, and the west-facing windows opened at sunset? Do you want to see the full moon rise? We can program that to occur as well.
Seamlessly Manage Natural and Electric Light
True magic occurs when natural and electric light work together. When the shades open, the lights dim, and when they close, the lights brighten. Like two people in perfect step when dancing, it becomes an environment unfolding minute by minute in unison.
In the process, your home becomes greener. By using natural light more, you reduce your energy consumption, and by managing the temperature, you limit the use of your HVAC system.
At Hippo’s, we remain on the cutting edge of the latest technology. We are committed to helping our clients live their best lives by optimizing their home environment. To learn more about motorized blinds or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Hippo’s today.
