Sleek, Modern Window Treatments from Lutron are Now Wire-Free

Motorized shades have changed the way homeowners live their lives in Kirkland, WA, and beyond. It may seem like a simple thing—not needing to go around to every window of the house to raise and lower shades—but it’s an incredible time-saver with the added bonuses of energy savings and style. 

With custom window treatments, you can add elegance to any room of your home. And now, Lutron’s Palladiom line of roller shades is wire-free, making this incredible smart home solution available to more homeowners than ever before.

Why Roller Shades?

There is a wide range of blinds and shades styles on the market these days, but the minimalist aesthetic of roller shades is difficult to compete with. Their mechanics are invisible, so these custom window treatments don’t scream for attention—yet garner attention nonetheless with their sleek appearance. 

Roller shade fabrics come in various opacities meant to preserve views or block out sunlight entirely. The opacity chosen depends on which room of the house you’re adding shades to and your specific needs. For example, tightly woven blackout fabrics are perfect for the bedroom to achieve a peaceful night’s sleep without distracting outdoor lights or the sun rising above the horizon in the wee hours of the morning. In your living room, sheer shades maintain your beautiful views while reducing glare and damaging UV rays. 

Palladiom Wire-Free Shading

The Palladiom line of shades from Lutron has been around since 2017, but the wire-free solution only came out a few months ago. With this new battery-operated addition, more homeowners can enjoy the style and sophistication of custom window treatments without the need for pre-wiring. These wire-free roller shades are perfect for both new and retrofit projects and feature the same hembar alignment technology and whisper-quiet operation the Palladiom series shades became well-known for. 

What Makes PalladiomShades Unique?

Both the wired and wire-free custom shading options from Lutron integrate seamlessly into Lutron HomeWorks control systems, so you’ll have the flexibility and performance you’ve come to expect from other Lutron products. 

Active Energy Optimization is the wire-free shading system’s unique method of extending battery life up to five years with fewer batteries. You’ll even receive alerts on your phone whenever the battery levels are low.

Convenient Operation with the Tap of a Button

To control the shades, you’ll have the pleasure of adding Palladiom keypads to your home. Gone are the days of having banks of switches on your walls. Dynamically backlit and available in various finishes in glass, metals, and mattes, Palladiom keypads feature up to four buttons that make lighting and shading operation more convenient. 

Customized scenes such as “Relax” lower the shades for privacy and dim the lights to the perfect romantic dinner setting, or simply press the Up key to raise shades to let in warming, natural sunlight! And if you don’t want to lose your comfortable spot on the couch to adjust shades, pull out your smartphone and use the Lutron app without getting up.
