BLIND ALLEY
HAS QUALIFIED AS A HUNTER DOUGLAS
CERTIFIED MOTORIZATION SPECIALIST

Blind Alley is proud to be recognized as one of the select Certified Hunter Douglas Motorization Specialists in the Seattle area. Our automation solutions work with every Hunter Douglas motorized application and integrate with home automation systems.

To achieve this exclusive designation, Blind Alley completed a comprehensive program in hard-wired motorization that certifies us to sell Hunter Douglas hard-wired motorized products on an exclusive basis and ensures that we are committed to project excellence with the highest standards.

The certification program includes an online Webcast, live training in an intense two-day event where participants are taught motorization concepts and apply them to real world situations and review of an extensive Motorization Reference Guide. Participants also commit to ongoing training.

“We are very proud to honor window covering professionals with this certification,” said Sue Rainville, Hunter Douglas Director of Marketing. “While increasingly popular, hard-wired motorized products require very specific knowledge and this ensures that customers will be provided with the very best products and service available.”

Benefits of Motorization

Press the remote control and you can tilt blinds open or closed and raise or lower them even if they are heavy or hard-to-reach. What’s more, you can control large groups of shades with a single press of a button, without having to walk around the room, manually controling each shade.

Accessibility

Motorized window coverings are perfect for tall  and hard-to-reach window locations where manual operation is difficult.

Control Your Living Environment

You can easily control one or a group of window coverings from a wall control or from a remote control transmitter or an automatic sensor. You can also program your window coverings to a predefined schedule or create recurring scenarios which run automatically or even have your window coverings open and close with sun sensors.

Child & Pet Safe!

Motorized shades provide a safer environment for children and pets. Your blinds will have a cleaner look and also last longer because electric motors eliminate the wear and tear that can occur with manual treatments.

Protection Against Sunlight

Your motorized window shades can automatically respond to the sun and therefore protect your floors and furnishing from harmful UV ray damage.

Energy Savings

Sun sensors, timers, and home automation systems help manage heat gain in summer months and heat loss during the winter which can reduce monthly energy bills as well as have a positive effect on the environment.

How Does it Work?

Controls such as a hand-held remote or a wall switch are used to send a command to the electric motor which is concealed within the headrail of the blind. Motors for window coverings are specifically designed to be completely concealed so that they don’t have an effect on the décor or interior architecture of the room.

Whether you simply wish to raise and lower blinds or need precise tilting control of blind slats, we will customize your solution. Make natural light control easier than ever! Here is a list of Hunter Douglas products that are available in the Hard-Wired Motorization Program:
