Smart blinds have revolutionised how we control natural light in our homes. Lutron, with over 20 years of experience in automated shading, offers several sophisticated blind systems that combine functionality with elegant design. Here's a comprehensive look at their main offerings.
Types of Lutron Blinds
Roller Shades
Lutron's roller shades complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. The Sivoia QS system offers hard-wired solutions with intelligent hembar alignment, ensuring all shades in a room move in perfect synchronisation. These shades come in two primary mounting options:
For a clean, modern look, the pocket mounting option recesses the entire system into the ceiling, offering complete blackout capability. Alternatively, the fascia option provides a decorative cover that conceals the roller, ideal for more conventional spaces.
The battery-powered version, known as Triathlon, provides a wire-free solution perfect for retrofit applications. These shades feature industry-leading battery life using standard batteries and are available in configurations up to 12 feet wide by 12 feet tall.
Palladiom Shading System
The Palladiom represents Lutron's premium offering, featuring exposed mounting brackets crafted from high-end materials like polished graphite, brass, and chrome. Available in both wired and wireless versions, these shades operate nearly silently and are designed for exposed installations without requiring a fascia or recess.
The system's distinctive end brackets transform traditional mounting hardware into architectural elements, making them a striking feature rather than something to hide. The wire-free version offers 3-5 years of battery life on standard D-cell batteries.
Horizontal Sheer Blinds
These innovative blinds combine the soft elegance of a sheer curtain with the precise control of traditional venetian blinds. Fabric vanes suspended between sheer panels can tilt to precise angles, offering incredible versatility. When fully open, they provide maximum views to the outside. When closed, they ensure complete privacy. The vanes can also be positioned anywhere in between these extremes for optimal light control to suit your needs throughout the day.
Wood Blinds
Lutron's wood blinds merge traditional materials with modern technology. Made from genuine North American Basswood, these blinds feature independent lift and tilt capabilities for precise alignment across multiple windows. The slats come in 2-inch width and are available in 12 stained and 6 painted finishes.
The battery-powered version includes Natural Light Optimization technology, automatically adjusting tilt angles throughout the day based on the sun's position. This feature maximises comfortable daylight while protecting interiors from harsh direct sunlight.
Honeycomb Shades
These energy-efficient shades come in various opacities from light-filtering to room-darkening. All insulated honeycomb fabrics feature white backing that reflects heat, helping maintain comfortable room temperatures. The battery-powered version offers easy maintenance and reliable operation.
For areas with heavy airflow or doors, cable-guided options prevent unwanted movement while maintaining smooth operation. The Architectural Honeycomb collection features a modern ¾ inch cell size and comes in a range of neutral colours and textures.
Control Options
Lutron offers various control methods to suit different preferences. The elegant Palladiom keypad provides sophisticated control with a minimalist design, while standard wall-mounted controls offer traditional operation. For added convenience, wireless remotes allow adjustment from anywhere in the room, and mobile app integration enables control directly from smartphones and tablets.
