Motorized Blinds, Shades, & Drapes: Which Should You Choose?

Comparing Three Versions of Lutron’s Motorized Window Treatments

Motorized window treatments aren’t limited to one size or style! In fact, a top brand like Lutron offers at least seven styles, including:

Roller shades
Roman shades
Drapery
Wood blinds
Roman shades
Tensioned shades
Horizontal sheer blinds
Honeycomb shades

At first glance, you might know which shading style is right for your Columbia, MO, home. But if you’re unsure which is right for you, let’s compare the features and benefits of Lutron’s shades, blinds, and drapes.

1. Motorized Shades

Lutron’s shades are available in both wired and wireless models. Consider the following styles:

Roller Shades

Lutron’s roller shades are available in sheer, translucent, or blackout fabrics and can combine two fabrics for dual-roller shades. Shades stay in a uniform, straight line across your windows thanks to hembar alignment, and can cover up to twelve feet wide and high.

Honeycomb Shades

Cellular/honeycomb shades are designed with air pockets between the fabric to add insulation to your windows. This way, rooms stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Roman Shades

Roman shades create an elegant, curtain-like appearance in your home with soft folds of layered fabric. Plus, Lutron allows customers to customize Roman shades with their own fabrics!

Tensioned Shades

Want to automate shades on hard-to-reach windows? Motorized tensioned shades keep fabric tight and taut against angled windows and skylights—and will never sag. Tensioned shades eliminate gaps around the fabric and provide a clear view with a tap of a button.

2. Motorized Drapery

Although Lutron’s shades can cover twelve by twelve feet, its motorized drapery can fit up to thirty-foot windows! Available in single or dual tracks with custom arcs, we can even customize the pleat styles to achieve the exact design you want.

3. Motorized Blinds

Lutron’s wood and fabric blinds allow you to adjust the tilt across multiple windows, letting in as much sunlight as you desire. This lets you enjoy privacy while sunlight still filters in, a unique advantage of motorized blinds.

Lutron’s wood blinds are available in sixteen finishes, while its horizontal sheer blinds come in various fabrics and opacity levels.
