Why These Innovations Matter for Homeowners in 2025
In 2025, homeowners are demanding more from their window coverings than ever before. Safety, automation, and energy efficiency are no longer ‘nice-to-haves’ — they’re expected. That’s why every innovation featured at IWCE this year responds to a specific, real-world need.
From cordless operation that enhances child safety to smart home compatibility that integrates with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and other systems, these shades represent the future of functional design. Angled and triangle windows are also becoming more popular in custom homes, making motorized trapezoid and triangle solutions critical for covering hard-to-reach or uniquely shaped windows with ease.
With energy costs rising, motorized and insulated shades also help reduce heat gain, minimize glare, and lower monthly utility bills — all while elevating the style and functionality of any space.
