Motorized window coverings offer incredible convenience. Gone are cords or tugging on the bottom rail. Instead, you can manage your window coverings from anywhere via a beautiful touchscreen, elegant in-wall keypad, or remote. 

Is the sun making it difficult to see your computer screen? Lower the shades with one touch right from your desk. Did you forget to close the shades when you left the house in a hurry? Pull up the app on your mobile device and lower one or every shade in your home. 

It’s a remarkable world we live in. And it gets even better.

In 2017, Lutron, a global leader in smart lighting control, and our partner at Wipliance, came out with Lutron Palladiom shades. This shading system represents the pinnacle of motorized window coverings, offering beauty, exquisite engineering, and whisper-quiet motorized shades. 

Let’s explore how they’re transforming homes in Bellevue, WA.

The Features That Define Lutron Palladiom Shades

Instead of hiding technology, Lutron chose to feature it. These shades are designed for exposed applications and installed without a pocket, fascia, or recess. Sleek and sophisticated, it’s a design that enhances virtually any home’s aesthetics. 

The shades can cover 12-x-12-foot windows, yet the tube is only two inches in diameter, providing a minimum profile. When the jamb bracket is integrated into the window recess or frame, the shade appears to float in midair. End brackets can be mounted to the ceiling or wall, and center brackets are designed to support two adjacent shades for a clean aesthetic. 

These brackets are hand finished and come in seven finishes, including opal white, satin graphite, and clear anodized. The bracket enclosure ring hides all electronics, including programming buttons and LED indicator lights.

Another distinguishing feature is the balanced bottom rail and patented Intelligent Hembar alignment. The result is beautiful, graceful shades synchronized to exacting standards, maintaining alignment within one-eighth of an inch during motion. It’s hard to describe the effect until you walk into a room and see all your shades automatically rise in perfect unison as the sun breaks the horizon. 

Wired or Wireless Options

Lutron first introduced the Palladiom shading system as a wired solution. Then, in 2021, the wire-free shading system emerged, enabling our team to integrate these beautiful, sleek shades at any point in a project, even after construction. 

The system runs on Lutron’s Active Energy Optimization, a patented battery management system that extends the life of the six D-cell batteries to an industry-leading 3-5 years. These shades offer all the same features as their wired counterparts, with an additional app alert that notifies homeowners when the batteries get low.

Effortless Control

You can control your motorized shades from beautiful Palladiom keypads designed with complimentary finishes to match the aluminum brackets. These custom-engraved keypads can also manage your lighting and climate. Press ‘Entertaining,’ ‘Dining,’ or ‘Good Morning,’ and your smart home creates the perfect setting.
