Brands We Love - Lutron Shades

Last month we talked about a certain kind of shade we love, the Lutron Serena shades. They are a great entry option into the smart blinds and window shades world, made by a company we absolutely love - Lutron. Shades, lights, apps, Lutron is a company on the cutting edge, constantly delivering on newer, better products. This time on the Budget Blinds of Scottsdale blog, we’re looking at more Lutron shades.

Who Lutron Is

As mentioned, Lutron is a company responsible for a whole heckuva lot more than just shades. They pitch themselves as a tech company focused on mastering light, offering bulbs, controls, lighting panels, home systems, and for our purposes the wonderful Lutron shades.

Lutron was founded by Joel Spira back in the late 50s when they developed the solid state dimmer dial. No longer was there only two options: On/Off, now you could control your light to the absolute perfect level of brightness to fit your needs. Since then they have kept up the innovation to help customers master light.

What About Lutron Shades?

So we have talked about how much we like the Lutron Serena shades, but there is more to Lutron’s shades than Serena. As mentioned in the previous blog, Serena will meet the needs of the average house, but face it folks, this is Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, many houses are not your average house.  Above and beyond Serena, Lutron offers an advanced line of shades to meet almost every need. 

With Lutron’s full line of shade we can handle large windows, we can do dual shades, we can do coupled shades and we can offer even more fabrics.  Lutron works with textile mills around the world to get fabrics for every form and function that they might need. But they don’t stop there, the thing that makes Lutron Lutron, is their superior electronics and their automation technology. 

Lutron used its decades of electronic innovation to develop the quietest most energy efficient drives in the industry and coupled that with superior two-way low bandwidth communications for reliable operations. Lutron leverages whole-home wireless systems to put total control of shades and lights in the palm of your hand. The shades have components in their headrails that connect over wireless systems with either remotes or with the Lutron app for smart devices. When told so they automatically raise or lower the shades based on whatever criteria you choose, including seasons, time, location. 

Benefits of Lutron Shades

• The shades are cordless, meaning no safety risk for children and animals.

• Automation gives you the peace of mind for privacy and the best energy saving.

• Use presets based on season, temperature, time and more!

• Control your shades from your smart device!

• Seamless integration with other smart home technology such as Sonos ®, Amazon ® Alexa, Google ® Assistant and more.

• A wide variety of fabrics, colors, and shades.

• For the most part, they don’t require any new wiring! Larger shades can only be done with a low voltage power supply, but luckily low voltage is much easier to wire than 110/120 volt. 

If the blinds had just one of those benefits they’d be good options, but Lutron shades have all that and more! It is a high tech, high power window covering solution.

With blinds and shades this powerful, it’s no wonder Lutron requires all their installers and dealers (like us!) to have the specialized training necessary to handle the shades correctly. We know exactly when to use their shades and how to install them for the best effect. That’s why Budget Blinds of Scottsdale is a recognized and authorized Lutron partner - and we’re dang proud of it.
