Lutron Palladiom - Engineered Beauty for Luxury Homes | VIP Smart Homes

Where Engineering Meets Artistry

Palladiom is Lutron's most refined collection - motorized shades, keypads, and thermostats designed from the ground up as architectural statements. Every bracket is milled from solid aluminum or brass and hand-finished. Every keypad is stamped from stainless steel or glass with laser-etched buttons. Nothing is hidden because nothing needs to be.

VIP Smart Homes is your certified Lutron dealer in the Greater Seattle area, with over 20 years of experience designing and installing these systems in the region's finest homes.

Designed to Be Celebrated - Not Hidden

Most motorized shades are built to disappear behind fascia boards and ceiling pockets. Palladiom takes the opposite approach. Its exposed brackets, milled from solid metal and finished by hand, are meant to be seen - architectural details in their own right.

The result is a shading system that doesn't compete with your interior design. It completes it.

Milled. Finished. Flawless.

Hand-Finished Hardware

Palladiom brackets are machined from solid aluminum or brass - not stamped, not molded. Each one is hand-finished to a standard that matches your finest door hardware and fixtures. Available in seven finishes including brass, satin graphite, satin nickel, opal white, clear anodized, black anodized, and pure white - so your shades coordinate with every element of your space.

3.25 Inches Between You and the View

The entire Palladiom shading assembly occupies no more than 3.25 inches of vertical space at the top of your window. A single shade can cover windows up to 12 feet wide and 14 feet tall. When the shade is raised, the curved hembar disappears behind the roll - giving you an unobstructed view.

Whisper-Quiet at Under 35 dBA

Palladiom shades operate below 35 decibels - quieter than a whisper. Whether it's a master bedroom at dawn or a media room during movie night, the motor does its work without announcing itself.

Precision Within 1/8 of an Inch

Banks of windows demand perfect alignment. Lutron's patented Intelligent Hembar Alignment technology monitors shade speed hundreds of times per second to keep every shade synchronized — within one-eighth of an inch - whether in motion or at rest. The result across a wall of windows is seamless and uniform.

Shades That Follow the Sun

When paired with Lutron HomeWorks or RadioRA 3, Palladiom shades automatically track the sun's position throughout the day. They adjust in real time to reduce glare and heat gain while preserving natural light and your views. It's comfort on autopilot.

Flexibility for Any Project

Building new? Palladiom's wired system delivers 35-volt low-voltage power with zero battery maintenance. Retrofitting an existing home? The wire-free system runs on alkaline D-cell batteries with an industry-leading 3 to 5 year battery life - no new wiring required.

A Unified Design Language - From Shades to Switches

Palladiom isn't just shades. It's an entire family of controls - keypads, thermostats, dimmers, receptacles, and faceplates - all sharing the same flush, uniplanar design where buttons and faceplate sit in the same plane. The effect is a wall surface that looks intentional and integrated, not cluttered with afterthought hardware.

Keypad buttons are laser-etched with custom scene labels and dynamically backlit, so they glow softly in the dark without overwhelming a room. Available in polymer, architectural matte, glass, and Signature Metal finishes including Matte Graphite and Champagne.

Palladiom even offers the first voice-integrated keypad - allowing anyone in the room to control lights, shades, and climate with their voice, without a phone.
