When choosing window treatments for your home, style is only part of the equation. Just as important? How your shades operate day-to-day. At The Shade Place, we offer a range of custom Hunter Douglas operating systems—each tailored to enhance both the form and function of your living space.

Whether you’re drawn to the clean lines of cordless, the classic reliability of loop cords, or the sleek innovation of PowerView® Automation, the right choice depends on your lifestyle, home design, and personal preferences.

Let’s break it down.

Cordless Shades: Streamlined, Safe, and Stylish

Cordless operating systems offer a modern, minimal look—no cords, no clutter. Simply raise or lower your shades with a gentle pull. Ideal for homes with young children or pets, cordless shades eliminate the safety hazards associated with traditional cords while delivering an effortlessly clean finish.

At The Shade Place, we custom-fit cordless options from Hunter Douglas that marry form and function beautifully—especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and playrooms.

Continuous Loop: Precision and Durability

Prefer a little more control? The continuous cord loop offers smooth, consistent operation—especially for large or heavier shades. This system uses a looped cord anchored to the wall or window frame for secure, easy movement.

Many of our clients choose loop systems for designer roller or screen shades, where durability and stability are key. Loop cords also allow for very precise positioning, which is ideal when exact light control matters.

PowerView® Automation: Smart Living, Seamlessly Integrated

If you’re looking for the ultimate in convenience and control, PowerView® Automation is the future-forward solution your home deserves. Using a remote, app, or voice control, you can program your shades to open and close automatically—whether you’re home or away.

PowerView® shades can be integrated with smart systems like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Schedule your shades to rise with the sun, lower during peak heat hours, or close at night for privacy—all hands-free.
