A Dimmer for the Sun. For Every Window in Your Home.
Wired or Wireless - We'll Help You Choose
-
Best For: Existing homes · Finished walls · Retrofit projects · Rental properties. Lutron's wireless shades run on long-life D-cell batteries that typically last three to five years - no wiring, no electrician, no opening walls. They communicate via Lutron's Clear Connect RF technology, completely independent of your Wi-Fi, and integrate directly into RadioRA 3 and other Lutron control systems. Wireless shades are the smart choice for existing homes, finished spaces, and any window where running low-voltage wiring isn't practical. Available in roller, honeycomb, wood blind, and Roman styles up to 12 feet wide on battery power alone.

Best For: New construction · Major renovations · Large estates · Expansive glass · Long-term reliability. When walls are open during construction or renovation, wired low-voltage shades are the preferred choice. They deliver the deepest system integration, the most reliable long-term performance, and eliminate battery maintenance entirely. Wired shades are ideal for large-scale installations, expansive glass walls, and homes where every detail needs to be exactly right for decades to come. Lutron's Sivoia platform - the professional wired shading system - supports the widest range of shade styles, the largest spans, and the most demanding architectural applications.
Every Lutron shade is motorized and custom-built to the exact measurements of your windows - down to an eighth of an inch - and every one integrates natively with your Lutron lighting control system, responding to scenes, schedules, and sunrise/sunset automatically. How that motor gets its power and how it communicates shapes which treatment is right for your home: wired shades draw power from your wall and offer the most seamless, invisible installation, while battery-powered wireless shades require no wiring at all - ideal for retrofits or windows where running power simply isn't practical. Both paths lead to the same whisper-quiet, precisely engineered result. Lutron builds motorized window treatments for virtually every window type and design preference - roller shades, Roman shades, drapery tracks, wood blinds, and solar shades - all available in hundreds of fabrics and fully compatible across all professional Lutron platforms, with Caséta supporting a curated selection for smaller installations. Works with: Caséta (limited selection), RadioRA 2, RadioRA 3, HomeWorks QSX.
Every Style. Every Window. Every Room.
Treatment Options
-
The most popular Lutron window treatment - and for good reason. Clean, architectural, and available in hundreds of fabrics from sheer solar screens to full blackout. Roller shades can be specified with side channels for complete light elimination, dual-roller brackets for layered fabric options at a single window, and in spans up to 18 feet wide. Available in both wireless and wired configurations.
-
Lutron's motorized honeycomb shades combine elegant softness with genuine insulating performance. The cellular structure traps air at the window, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer - making them as practical as they are beautiful. Available in single and double cell configurations, in a range of opacities, and in wireless battery-powered models perfect for retrofit installations.
-
Motorized wood blinds bring the warmth of authentic North American basswood to an intelligent home. Lutron offers both motorized tilt - for fine-tuning light and privacy without raising the blind - and motorized lift and tilt for full raise-and-lower control. The result is precise, automated adjustment of slat angle from your keypad, app, or voice - at every window simultaneously if you choose.
-
Horizontal sheer blinds are the best of both worlds - the soft, diffused light of a shade combined with the adjustable privacy of a blind. Sheer fabric vanes rotate to modulate brightness and views, while the overall softness of the treatment adds an elegant, layered look to any room. Motorized vane control means effortless micro-adjustment from a single button.
-
Lutron motorized Roman shades bring traditional elegance to an intelligent home. Custom fabricated with your choice of designer fabric - including customer-supplied textiles - Roman shades stack cleanly at the top of the window and lower with quiet precision. A natural fit for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where the window treatment is as much a design statement as a functional one.
-
For windows that demand drama, Lutron motorized drapery tracks deliver sweeping, graceful movement for even the largest and heaviest fabric treatments. Straight and curved track configurations support installations up to 41 feet wide and 175 pounds - ideal for grand living spaces, floor-to-ceiling glass, and sliding doors. Compact vertical track options keep fabric neatly stacked when open, preserving the view and the architecture.
-
Sloped ceilings, skylights, and angled windows require shading solutions built for the angle. Lutron's tensioned and cable-guided systems hold fabric taut across difficult geometry - keeping treatments flat, light-tight, and precisely aligned even on challenging installations. Bottom-up configurations are also available for windows where privacy at the sill matters more than light at the top.
-
Extend your Lutron system beyond the walls of your home. Motorized outdoor shades reduce glare on patios and terraces, integrating with the same control system as your interior treatments so a single scene can lower outdoor shades, dim interior lights, and set the thermostat - simultaneously. Retractable screens add sun and insect protection on demand, controlled the same way as every other shade in your home.
Two Professional Systems. One Seamless Experience.
All Lutron professional window treatments are built on one of two drive platforms - Sivoia for wired installations and Triathlon for wireless. Both integrate natively with Lutron lighting control systems. Both deliver whisper-quiet operation. And both are installed and supported by VIP Smart Homes with the same level of care.
Natural Light Optimization - Shades That Think for Themselves
This is the feature that separates Lutron motorized shades from every other brand on the market. When paired with HomeWorks or RadioRA 3, your shades can automatically track the position of the sun throughout the day and adjust in real time - lowering on the west-facing windows as afternoon glare hits, raising on the north side to preserve views, and shifting throughout the day to balance natural light, thermal comfort, and privacy without any manual input.
The result is a home that manages daylight the way it manages artificial light - intelligently, invisibly, and in perfect coordination with your lighting scenes. A single "Afternoon" scene can lower the shades on the sunny side, dim the overhead Ketra fixtures to compensate, and shift the color temperature warmer - all from one button or completely automatically.
Natural Light Optimization isn't an add-on. It's built into the Lutron platform and activated during programming. Every home we install gets this capability configured as part of the commissioning process.
