View the Pros of Each Line to Find the Right Fit for Your Home 

You shouldn’t settle for one-size-fits-all solutions when adding motorized shades. Every home is different, and choosing the first option you see could mean overpaying for features you don’t need or missing out on the models or controls you want. A reason we love working with Lutron for motorized shades installations is the ability to make value-aligned decisions for our clients. 

Lutron has three primary custom install lines: Triathlon, Sivoia, and Palladiom. Below, we outline what each offers so you can make an informed decision on which to use. They all come with intuitive controls and high-end fabrics that enhance your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.

Triathlon

Triathlon, available through Lutron’s entry-level and higher-end control systems, is the most accessible shading option. It is a wireless solution ideal for retrofit installations. Easy installation doesn’t mean sacrificing the end product. Triathlon shades are available in standard roller shades, architectural honeycomb shades, and wood blinds. Choose from sheer, translucent, and blackout fabrics based on their application. They include D batteries which last an industry-best three to five years. Control the shades via the Lutron app, Pico remotes, standard Lutron keypads, or voice assistants. 

Sivoia

The Sivoia line is a step up from Triathlon and is much more versatile, powerful, and customizable. We recommend their wired installations for new builds and their wireless alternative for retrofit installations. 

These shades can be specified to meet the needs of one-of-a-kind window shades and skylights through tension and cable-guided mounts. With Sivoia, you get access to all the models outlined above, as well as horizontal sheer blinds and drapery systems. 

Dual-roller brackets let you add multiple fabrics to one window. Enjoy sheer shades in the morning in your media room, then pull down blackout shades when it’s time to watch a movie. You also get all the same controls as Triathlon shades, plus access to more design-forward keypads. 

Palladiom 

Refined. Elegant. Easy to Use. Palladiom shades are Lutron's flagship motorized shade line. Style takes center stage with Palladiom without sacrificing functionality in both its shades and dedicated keypads. 

Shade brackets are handcrafted and milled to keep them out of view, so even when open, the shades seem to float in thin air. New curved hembar designs, shaped like the fabric roll, let the bar disappear entirely when the shades are open. Choose from solid aluminum or brass finishes. 

Add flush-mounted keypads with ergonomic buttons that make shades easy to use while protecting your sleek decor. Designate buttons for your go-to shading scenes with laser-etched labels indicating their use case. Keypads are available in stainless steel or glass. 

We recommend Palladiom shades for our design-forward clients who care about aesthetics and not just performance. This line includes only roller shades, so if you want blinds or drapes, we can mix and match Palladiom shades with Sivoia or Triathlon models.
