Frequently asked

What is Hunter Douglas SoftTouch?

It is a battery-powered motorized system that uses a wand for easy control. Gently push or pull the wand to raise or lower your shades with a single touch.

Do I have to keep holding the wand?

Not at all. With the touch-and-go design, a brief input starts the motor. You can relax while your shade moves smoothly to its intended position.

How do I stop a Designer Roller shade?

To pause your shade, simply give the wand a brief touch in the same direction it is moving. We will demonstrate this during your installation for your peace of mind.

Does SoftTouch include an app or schedules?

SoftTouch is designed for simple, local control. If you are looking for app-based schedules or remote home automation, we can help you explore our PowerView options instead.

Which Hunter Douglas shades can use SoftTouch?

We help match motorization to your Hunter Douglas Designer Roller or Pirouette shades. This keeps your system simple for your chosen fabric and size.

Is the battery always rechargeable?

Power arrangements vary by shade model. We will identify the specific, easy-access battery system for your chosen shade so you can always keep it powered and ready to move.

Can a PowerView Gateway control SoftTouch?

SoftTouch and PowerView are separate, specialized systems. If you want a connected home experience, let us help you select the PowerView configuration designed for that purpose.

Is SoftTouch a good choice for high windows?

It is a great choice if the wand remains easy for you to reach. For windows that are out of reach, we can discuss remote or automated alternatives.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store

To make the most of your consultation, it helps to have a general sense of your window or door width, ceiling height and how you would like the covering to operate. Photos of the space are helpful but not required. If you are early in the process, that is fine. We will guide you through it.
