Roller, Roman, honeycomb, wood blinds, drapery, sheer horizontal blinds, skylight shades, and outdoor screens. All custom built to your exact window dimensions, all available in over 1,500 designer fabrics, and all controlled from the same Lutron system.
Wired, Wireless, or DIY. We'll Help You Choose.
Every Lutron shade is 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. The right platform depends on your home, your timeline, and how involved you want to be in the install.
Wireless: The Retrofit Solution
Best For: Existing homes · Finished walls · Retrofit projectsLutron's Triathlon platform runs on D batteries that typically last three to five years thanks to industry leading battery management. No wiring, no electrician, no opening walls. Triathlon communicates via Lutron's Clear Connect RF technology, completely independent of your Wi-Fi, and integrates directly with RadioRA 3, HomeWorks, and Caséta. Available in roller, honeycomb, Roman, and wood blind styles. Wired power available for hard to reach windows.
Wired: The New Construction Standard
Best For: New construction · Major renovations · Large estatesWhen walls are open during construction or renovation, low voltage wired shades are the preferred choice. They deliver the deepest system integration, the most reliable long term performance, and eliminate battery maintenance entirely. Lutron's Sivoia platform supports the widest range of shade styles, the largest spans (up to 20 feet wide), and the most demanding architectural applications.
A Treatment for Every Window
Lutron builds motorized window treatments for virtually every window type and design preference, all available in over 1,500 fabrics across the Lutron Fabric Collections, and all fully compatible across Lutron's residential control platforms.
Roller Shades
The most popular Lutron window treatment. Clean, architectural, and available in sheer solar screens through full blackout fabrics. Side channels for complete light elimination, dual roller brackets for layered options, and Sivoia spans up to 20 feet wide with WIDR (Width Integrated Deflection Reduction) tube technology.
Honeycomb & Cellular Shades
Elegant softness with genuine insulating performance. The cellular structure traps air at the window, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Available in Architectural and Standard configurations and as a low light leak back cover model.
Wood Blinds
Authentic North American basswood with motorized tilt for fine tuning light and privacy. Precise automated adjustment from your keypad, app, or voice. Available in standard and large slat sizes.
Horizontal Sheer Blinds
The best of both worlds. Soft, diffused light of a shade combined with the adjustable privacy of a blind. Sheer fabric vanes rotate to modulate brightness and views with effortless motorized control.
Roman Shades
Traditional elegance for an intelligent home. Custom fabricated with your choice of designer fabric, including customer supplied textiles via the Roman Fabrication Kit. Roman shades stack cleanly at the top and lower with quiet precision.
Motorized Drapery
Sweeping, graceful movement for the largest fabric treatments. Straight and curved track configurations support runs up to 30 feet long, with the D175 EDU supporting drapery panels up to 175 pounds. Right, left, center, and tandem draw configurations.
Skylight & Specialty Shades
Tensioned and cable guided systems hold fabric taut across sloped ceilings, skylights, and angled windows. Bottom up configurations available for privacy at the sill.
Outdoor Shades & Screens
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.
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 QSX or RadioRA 3, your shades automatically track the position of the sun throughout the day and adjust in real time. They lower on west facing windows as afternoon glare hits, raise on the north side to preserve views, and shift 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.
Natural Light Optimization is built into the Lutron platform and activated during programming. Every home we install gets this capability configured as part of the commissioning process.

Common Questions About Lutron Shades
How quiet are Lutron motorized shades?
Lutron shades are the quietest motorized shades available for residential use. Sivoia Roller 64 operates below 35 dBA at 3 feet, Palladiom operates below 35 dBA at 3 feet, and Triathlon runs at 38 dBA at 3 feet. All are quiet enough for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms.
How long do the batteries last on wireless Lutron shades?
Lutron Triathlon and Palladiom Wire Free shades typically run three to five years on standard D batteries, depending on shade size and usage frequency. This is the industry's longest battery life, achieved through Lutron's Active Energy Optimization battery management system.
How many fabrics can I choose from?
Over 1,500 designer fabrics across the Lutron Fabric Collections, curated from leading suppliers worldwide. Sheer, light filtering, dim out, and full blackout opacities. Customer supplied fabrics are also available for Roman shades and selected drapery applications.
Can I get blackout shades for my bedroom?
Yes. Lutron offers true blackout fabrics and optional side channels that eliminate light gaps at the edges. When properly specified and installed with side channels, a Lutron blackout shade can achieve near total darkness.
Can shades be controlled by voice?
Yes. When integrated with your Lutron system, shades respond to Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit voice commands. You can also control them from the Lutron app, Lutron keypads, Pico smart remotes, or fully automated schedules.
Can my shades lower automatically at sunset?
Yes. Lutron systems can trigger shade movements based on sunrise, sunset, time of day, or real time sun position using Natural Light Optimization (NLO). NLO is included on every Sivoia, Triathlon, and Palladiom shade when paired with HomeWorks QSX or RadioRA 3.
What's the difference between Sivoia and Triathlon?
Sivoia is Lutron's most adaptable shading platform, available in both wired (QS) and wireless (QS Wireless) configurations. Sivoia supports the widest range of shade styles and the largest spans up to 20 feet. Triathlon is purpose built as a wire free retrofit platform with industry leading 3 to 5 year D battery life. Both integrate with all professional Lutron systems and deliver whisper quiet operation.
What is Serena and is it the same quality as Sivoia or Triathlon?
Serena is Lutron's DIY friendly shade brand. It uses the same Lutron drive technology, the same custom fabrication process, and the same 8 year warranty as Lutron's professional lineup, but is designed to install in under 30 minutes per shade. Serena is the right choice for homeowners who want professional shade specification but prefer to handle installation themselves. We offer Serena as a service for clients in this category.
How large can a single Lutron shade be?
A single Sivoia roller shade can span up to 20 feet wide using WIDR (Width Integrated Deflection Reduction) tube technology to prevent fabric deflection. Motorized drapery tracks support runs up to 30 feet long, with the D175 Electronic Drive Unit supporting drapery panels up to 175 pounds. Multiple shades can be synchronized using Intelligent Hembar Alignment, which keeps adjacent hembars within 1/8 inch of each other.
Do I need a Lutron dealer to purchase motorized shades?
For professional Lutron shades (Sivoia, Triathlon, Palladiom), yes. These require a certified dealer for specification, custom ordering, installation, and system programming. Serena shades can be purchased through dealers like VIP Smart Homes for self installation, or directly from authorized retailers.
Can I add motorized shades to my existing Lutron system?
Yes. If you already have a RadioRA 3, RadioRA 2, or HomeWorks system, we can add Triathlon wireless shades or Palladiom Wire Free shades without any new wiring. Wired Sivoia shades can also be added if low voltage wiring is accessible. Caséta systems support Triathlon and Serena.
Do Lutron shades work with Sonos and other smart home systems?
Yes. Lutron shades integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Sonos, Josh.AI, Control4, Crestron, Savant, and most other smart home platforms when paired with the appropriate Lutron control system.
Where do you install Lutron shades?
VIP Smart Homes is an authorized Lutron shade dealer serving Seattle, Bellevue, Medina, Mercer Island, Clyde Hill, Kirkland, Sammamish, and the broader Eastside. We also work on projects across the Greater Seattle area, the Pacific Northwest, and select projects nationally.
