• Ideal For: Homeowners looking for a cost-effective, standalone shading solution.

Sivoia QS Series

Sivoia QS Triathlon

Palladiom Shades

Palladiom is Lutron’s ultimate motorized shade, with whisper-quiet motors and an attractive exterior. With Palladiom, you’ll find: 

• Design: Ultra-modern, exposed bracket design without fascia, pocket, or recess.

• Power Source: Available in both wired and wire-free, battery-operated versions.

• Compatibility: Works only with premium HomeWorks QS (QSX) and RadioRA 3 systems.

• Installation: Requires a professional installation by an authorized Lutron dealer.  

• Ideal For: High-end, sophisticated settings where aesthetics are a priority.

Which Shades Are Right for You?

The choice between Serena, Sivoia, and Palladiom will depend on the control system you choose and your installation restraints. 

Lutron’s HomeWorks QS pre-wired control system offers advanced programming, high-quality equipment, and luxury keypads. If you opt for a HomeWorks lighting system, then Palladiom and Sivoia QS are excellent options. 

Alternatively, RadioRA 3 is a wireless control system with slightly fewer options than HomeWorks QS. Sivoia QS Triathlon and Sivoia QS shades are compatible with the RadioRA 3 wireless system. 

If you're only adding motorized shades to a small area and don’t desire sophisticated automation and control options, then Serena shades on a Caséta system may suit your lifestyle.
