When someone sees the sleek and sophisticatedLutron Palladiom shading system, they instantly love it. Palladiom motorized shades by Lutron are designed for elegantly exposed applications, feature smooth, whisper-quiet performance, and look beautiful from every angle.

But bringing Palladiom shades to your Seattle, WA home requires a lot of planning. Unlike electric window treatments that you can buy online and install yourself, Palladiom shades are hardwired and can only be installed by an authorized Lutron dealer. If you’re interested in the Palladiom shading system, below are a few key things to know about this solution before planning your project.

Ideal for New Construction Projects

Interested customers often ask about how the Palladiom shading system is powered. Palladiom shades are exclusively hardwired; there is no Palladiom wireless or battery-powered alternative. Because Palladiom shades require running wire for power, it’s best to install them at the beginning of a build rather than upgrade an existing home. Unless you’re prepared to have all your drywall stripped and undergo an extensive installation, we recommend you plan early with your home builder or architect.

A Panelized System Is Best for Control

Palladiom keypads are a perfect pairing with Palladiom shades. These sleek control keypads elevate your décor and make it easy to operate your window shades (and lights, too) from one location.

Customized multiroom control of your shades and lights requires a panelized control system. This system does away withseveral individual switches and dimmers by wiring loads to one centralized panel. Instead of cluttered switches in a room, you can keep your walls clean with one personalized keypad featuring custom-engraved buttons that operate lights and shades in one or several areas of the home. You can even use buttons for scenes like “All Off” for more convenient control.

Because a panelized system requires rewiring all your loads, installing one in an existing home would be a massive undertaking. Instead, it’s best to plan for a panelized system during new construction.

Requires Assistance from a Lutron Dealer

To guarantee the highest quality possible, Lutron Palladiom shading systems are only available through authorized Lutron dealers. No one else can sell or install Lutron solutions.
