Feeling Safer Home or Away
Help your customers feel safer home or away by emphasizing the benefits of Hunter Douglas PowerView® shades and the PowerView App.
With the app, customers can use schedules to improve privacy and enhance security, for overall peace of mind. Here’s how they can put schedules to work for them:
Instant Privacy. Schedule shades to close at sunset, averting the “fishbowl” effect, so neighbors or passersby can’t peek inside. If customers have top-down/bottom-up shades, they can schedule them to slightly lower from the top in the morning, letting in light but keeping curious eyes at bay.
Enhanced Security. Customers heading out on vacation? They can schedule shades to raise and lower every day at varying times during their trip, giving the appearance that someone’s home.
Thrace Finial Isabella Wood Collection
We challenge the conventional by offering wood hardware that not only encapsulates the earthy charm of nature but also embraces the contemporary with finishes that transform. Image wood hardware not just in its natural beauty but enhanced with a Pewter finish, offering a sleek, modern flair. The Isabella Collection is designed for those who appreciate the sophistication of old-world charm blended seamlessly with modern aesthetics. Whether your projects demand the warmth of traditional decor or lean towards the minimalist sleekness of contemporary design, pick from intricately carved wooden brackets, elegant motifs, and finials, complemented by a versatile range of hand-painted finishes. Diversify your window treatment offerings with the Isabella Wood Hardware Line. For more information and to explore other collections, please visit Helserbrothers.com.
