3 Reasons Why Lutron Palladiom is the Designer’s Choice for Custom Motorized Shades

In Florida, every home needs a solution for managing the sun. Years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to see interiors that looked dark as homeowners drew drapes, closed shades, and lowered blinds in an effort to keep the heat out of their Santa Rosa beach homes. Today, we have better, less cave-like ways to manage the sun and enjoy it, too! One of those ways is with custom motorized shades, which you can automate to take advantage of natural light when you want it and keep the sun out when you don’t.

When it comes to motorized shade options, it’s hard to beat Lutron. The company offers eight different powered window treatment styles and a host of control options. But the designer choice is the Palladiom line, which exudes panache from the shades to the elegant control keypads. Learn more about this stylish motorized shade line below!

Pure Style

The number one reason to choose Palladiom custom shades is style. Palladiom is a contemporary design with exposed end brackets that showcase beautiful finishes in anodized, satin nickel, brass and neutral colors. The end brackets can sit inside or above the window frames. There are also jamb brackets and center brackets for combining window shades to cover larger windows. The hembar styles are equally stylish to set off your windows, with extruded aluminum, handmade bottom rails or fabric-wrapped styles with metal endcaps. Speaking of hembars, Lutron's intelligent system makes all your shades raise and lower in synchrony, like a shade ballet. It's also a quiet ballet with motors that don't call attention to themselves. If you're wondering about fabric options, even interior designers are impressed when poring over the choices. 

Wired or Wireless

From a power perspective, there are two ways to go with motorized shades: wired or wireless. To be clear, we are talking about the power to the shading motors; the control is always wireless. Lutron makes several lines of wired and wireless shading. The good news is that the company recently introduced a wireless option to the Palladiom line, a boon for easy installation in remodel and retrofit situations. Wired solutions work from low-voltage wiring, which is straightforward to hide in projects where molding and walls are being extensively reworked. Battery solutions run on regular D-cell batteries, and many shades can go for years of normal use without replacement. Lutron's motors are some of the most efficient in the business for worry-free battery solutions. Lutron battery-powered solutions can work on up to 12 x 12-foot windows for ultimate flexibility.

Powerful, Elegant Control

Lutron Palladiom is also about elegant control options. The available Palladiom wall-mounted keypad controls match the sleek, minimalist look of the shading. The keypads come in various contemporary colors and finishes that include real glass and metal to add modern flair to your décor. With dynamic backlighting, custom etched buttons, and multiple button and gang sizes, these keypads control not only motorized shades but also lighting and other smart home functions. In addition, these keypads work with Lutron's sophisticated HomeWorks lighting control solutions, a comprehensive way to manage natural and artificial light in your Panhandle home.
