Designers Turn to Lutron for Breathtaking Aesthetics and Best-in-Class Functionality

Designers in Hawaii face several challenges, most of which revolve around the intense tropical sun and the ocean’s corrosive tendencies. How do you maintain a home’s beautiful design and aesthetics when direct UV rays stream through the windows, simultaneously stunning and damaging?

The answer lies in Lutron shading.

These motorized window coverings are designed to protect while letting in the beauty and health benefits of filtered sunlight. Hundreds of premium textiles in eight styles ensure the perfect treatment for every window. Part of their draw is whisper-quiet motors, shades that offer UV protection, and automated draperies that flow elegantly from ceiling to floor.

The possibilities seem endless.

So, where to begin? At Control Freaks Hawaii, we understand the simple, easy-going living that defines the islands. Our home automation solutions align with this ethos—simple, fun, and easy. Here, we’ll explore Lutron’s top three systems that integrate effortlessly with the lifestyle and design of Hawaii.

Sivoia QS

Sivoia QS comes in wired and wireless shading solutions. The vast selection includes roller shades, drapery tracks, tensioned roller shades, horizontal sheer blinds, Roman shades, and wood blinds.

Sivoia QS roller shades are designed for windows up to 20 feet wide.

Sivoia QS Triathlon

Sivoia QS Triathlon is available in honeycomb and roller shades as well as wood blinds. This innovative, wireless battery solution offers great value and includes a headrail that hides the batteries, making them easy to replace. Keep in mind, with their battery optimization technology, you’ll only need to put in new batteries every 3 to 5 years.

Architectural Honeycomb Shades: This new design takes advantage of the larger honeycomb cells, creating a more modern look. They still possess that layer of insulation that reduces heat gain and lowers energy consumption. Lutron also added a modern headrail that increases control of natural light. These shades come in over 40 fabrics.
Standard Honeycomb Shades: These shades maintain the traditional honeycomb appearance and have a white backing to reflect sunlight, keeping homes comfortable and cool.
Roller Shades: The primary differentiation in these shades is the various top treatments, including architectural fascia, fabric-wrapped fascia, and exposed headrail. Different fabrics come in varying weaves. Sheer maintains the outside view. Translucent lets in the sun’s filtered glow while increasing privacy. Blackout blocks light from entering a space. These shades cover windows as wide and as tall as 144 inches.
Wood Blinds: Made from North American basswood with sixteen natural and painted finishes, these blinds feature Lutron’s Natural Light Optimization. This feature prompts blinds to automatically tilt throughout the day based on the sun’s position. This technology lets in the ideal natural light while protecting your home.

Palladiom

Palladiom roller shades are Lutron’s signature shades, their premier line offering the most refined aesthetic. Known for their sleek design that aligns with industrial and modern homes, these shades possess no fascia, pocket, or recess.

The wired option is ideal for new builds, offering the most reliable solution. The wire-free battery option provides the best solution for retrofit applications when the walls are already in place.

Several handcrafted metal finishes meet any designer's intentions for beauty and elegance. Palladiom roller shades are designed for windows up to 12 feet wide.

The Transformative Nature of Light

Natural light has the power to transform a space. The key to its beauty is shades that adjust automatically and easily, protecting your home and artwork while allowing the beauty of diffuse sunlight to enter.

Lutron allows your clients to manage their shades with the tap of a remote or keypad, or from anywhere in the world through the Lutron App.
