Wireless Shade System

Another way to maximize your home's energy efficiency is to install motorized shades in your windows. Lutron's newest offering is a wireless, battery-powered cellular shade system.  Whether you’re redecorating a room or installing new energy-efficient window throughout your home, adding Sivoia QS Wireless Cellular Shades from Lutron will complete the look beautifully and provide additional energy savings.

Available in 3 styles and a huge selection of colors, these wireless shades are designed to provide superior insulation, and feature a 3-year battery life.  The supplied remote control easily operates the shades, which are also compatible with most home automation and control systems such as URC, Savant, and Crestron.

In addition to providing energy savings, a single press of a button from a remote control can set multiple shades in motion, making it convenient to open and close hard-to-reach window treatments, all while reducing glare and increasing privacy. Since the shades are cordless, these are great additions to homes with young children.

Innovative air pockets built into the shades trap heat (or cold air) to provide superior insulation for enhanced energy efficiency. All shade fabrics have a white backing, which acts as a reflector to help keep your space cool and comfortable. With a choice of opacity from sheer to room darkening, you'll be able to also achieve the optimal level of light control and privacy.
