Hunter Douglas Elevates Smart Shades for Home Tech Pros with the New Custom Integrator Program

With a design-first approach and custom window coverings that work with major home automation platforms, Hunter Douglas brings their new integrator program to CEDIA Expo 2019.

DENVER, CO (September 10, 2019)—CEDIA Expo, Hunter Douglas Kiosk, Control4 Booth #3013—Homeowners are driving the convergence of smart home and design as they seek both a seamless and beautiful experience in renovation projects and new home builds. Smart and motorized window treatments are a growing opportunity for home technology professionals to offer their clients enhanced experiences with natural light management, privacy and comfort. Today, Hunter Douglas, the world's leading manufacturer of custom window treatments, is announcing a new initiative that provides training, tools and resources specifically for CEDIA industry professionals to add quality smart shading to their repertoire. Hunter Douglas will be returning to CEDIA Expo to unveil their Custom Integrator Program (CIP) and demo their technology platform with their custom shade line in a kiosk in the Control4 booth #3013.

“We’re able to offer custom window coverings that are stylish, diverse AND smart—this presents an opportunity for dealers to bring a new feature that enhances their customer experience, as well as to capture new business as homeowners who seek shading solutions are also looking for “smart” ones that are compatible with existing tech in the home they know and love,” said Scott Stephenson, Director of Product Management, Motorization, at Hunter Douglas. “With the Custom Integrator Program, we want to give home-technology professionals a way to expand their business and create greater profitability. Hunter Douglas window treatments are beautifully designed but simple to add to any project with tools, services and training designed for home-technology professionals.”

In addition to training and access to the full Hunter Douglas product line, integrators also receive sampling and presentation tools to demonstrate the quality and capabilities of Hunter Douglas smart shades to clients. For help installing window treatments, the Hunter Douglas Installation Service (HDIS) is also available as an end-to-end solution that guarantees accurate measuring and proper shade installation, delivered by a nationwide network of independent partners. Using HDIS also guarantees that the order is placed correctly, and includes a one-year guarantee on the installation itself as well as a five-year warranty on PowerView and a lifetime warranty on the shades.
