Sivoia is Lutron’s most adaptable professional shading family for new construction and architecturally demanding windows. Regent5 uses it for concealed roller shades, larger openings, Roman and tensioned applications, wood and horizontal-sheer blinds, side channels, fascia and recessed-pocket conditions. Low-voltage power and the exact control architecture are coordinated around the selected drive and system rather than assumed from a generic shade detail. Fabric is then selected against the actual room orientation, privacy requirement, glare and blackout goal.
Palladiom is Lutron’s design-forward exposed roller family: the brackets, tube and hembar are treated as finished architectural elements rather than hardware that must be hidden. Palladiom can be specified wire-free for finished rooms or with permanent power for new construction, with exact size and fabric limits depending on configuration. It integrates with current Lutron residential control platforms including HomeWorks and RadioRA 3, allowing the shade to participate in the same scenes as lighting.
Roller shades, drapery and exposed hardware create different architectural expressions. Compare the treatment, fabric and mounting details together to find the right fit for each room.
ROLLER SHADES
A flat fabric plane provides a clean-lined treatment. Openness, opacity and mounting details are selected for each room.
PALLADIOM DRAPERY
Soft fabric panels add privacy and a layered architectural finish while the exposed Palladiom track remains part of the room's design.
EXPOSED TRACK DETAIL
Bracket placement, returns and finished hardware remain visible, so their relationship to the wall and fabric matters.
PALLADIOM HARDWARE
Exposed roller brackets become part of the interior. We coordinate finish, shade alignment and the light gap between adjacent treatments.
Fabric, pocket depth, hembar, side gaps and glazing conditions determine the visual result. The motor is only one part of a successful shade detail.
Handwoven Conrad shades bring natural texture to a room without sacrificing integrated control. Regent5 installs compatible Conrad treatments with Lutron motorization, coordinating the material, fold or roll, finished weight, wiring and controls with your interior designer. Each treatment's drive and system compatibility is confirmed before ordering, then programmed into the home's shading scenes.
Lutron now offers two distinct design directions for motorized drapery. Palladiom Drapery turns the exposed track into an architectural element and supports custom-fabricated Pinch Pleat and Ripple Fold treatments. Sivoia drapery is the broader specification platform for straight, curved and concealed tracks. Regent5 coordinates fabric weight, fullness, stack-back, one-way or center draw, structural blocking, low-voltage power and the ceiling detail before finish work. Custom workroom headings such as French or triple pleat can also be evaluated when the fabric, carrier spacing and finished weight remain compatible with the selected track.
Recessed pockets, access panels, blocking, power, fabric stack and window geometry should be resolved before ceilings and millwork are closed.
Regent5 coordinates shade dimensions with the architectural and interior-design teams so the finished system clears hardware, aligns with glazing and remains serviceable.
Roller Shades
DAYLIGHT + PRIVACY
Lutron roller systems can be recessed, exposed or integrated into architectural pockets with fabric selected for view, solar control, privacy or blackout.
Palladiom & Motorized Drapery
SOFT WINDOW TREATMENTS
Drapery brings a different material language to the room and needs track, stack, carrier, return and access details coordinated with the interior design.
Natural-light automation works best when shade groups match the orientation, glazing and use of the room rather than simply moving every window together.
For blackout rooms, fabric alone is not enough; side conditions, sill details and reflected light paths must be considered.
Wired Shade Systems
Best suited to new construction and major remodels where power and communication can be planned with pockets and framing.
Wire-Free Shade Systems
Useful in finished homes and selected locations where running new low-voltage wiring would be unnecessarily invasive.
Both approaches can deliver quiet automated shading. The right choice depends on construction access, shade size, fabric, service expectations and how visibly the hardware must disappear.
CONCEALED TRACK DETAIL
Recessed treatments need space for the track, fabric and service access. Resolve these details before the ceiling is finished.
ARCHITECTURAL DRAPERY
A concealed track can preserve a clean ceiling line. The mounting method and power arrangement are selected for the actual construction conditions.
Regent5 reviews the window schedule, elevations, fabric intent and control system before choosing a motorized shade architecture.
For covered patios, outdoor rooms and solar-exposed glazing, Regent5 uses Insolroll Oasis exterior systems engineered for Lutron motorization. Current Oasis families include patio shades and retractable insect-screen configurations with cable, track or captured-edge guidance depending on the model. Because exterior shading is exposed to weather, we coordinate mounting substrate, drainage, fabric, power, wind conditions and safe operating limits as part of the design. The result can participate in the same Lutron control strategy as interior shading without treating an outdoor screen as an indoor shade installed outside.
Most of what separates a good shade installation from a poor one is decided before the shade arrives. Pocket depth must clear the finished roll diameter, light gaps and side channels determine real blackout performance, and brackets need structural support in the correct location before the ceiling closes. Regent5 coordinates these details with the architectural and interior teams, including recessed curtain-track and pocket solutions such as Blindspace where a flush ceiling reveal is desired. We draw the condition around the actual treatment rather than forcing a standard pocket detail onto every window.
Start with your plans, window schedule and fabric preferences. Regent5 develops the shade specification, confirms field dimensions and order details, installs the hardware and power connections, then programs and tests the controls. Your architect, designer and builder stay aligned on pockets, finishes and access. Arrange a private showroom visit to discuss the options for your home.

Where we work.
Regent5 designs, installs and services motorized shades across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, including San Francisco, Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, Palo Alto and Los Altos Hills. Regional resources cover the Peninsula, South Bay, Marin, Wine Country and Carmel/Monterey. Select project coverage extends through Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange County.
Regent5 designs and supports Lutron roller-shade and drapery systems across the current residential portfolio, including Palladiom and Sivoia-based solutions where appropriate to the project.
The right shade depends on the window dimensions, fabric, privacy goal and construction access. We confirm the treatment and motor together rather than choosing a drive before the window detail is resolved.
Bring your window schedule, elevations and material preferences to a consultation. Regent5 can review the shading options with your designer and identify which decisions are needed before ordering.
Wired shades are usually preferred when new construction or major renovation makes power and pathways easy to plan. Wire-free shades can be a strong fit in finished homes or selected windows where opening walls is unnecessary.
Before ceilings, millwork and glazing details are finalized. Pocket dimensions, blocking, power, access, fabric roll size and alignment all affect the finished result and should be coordinated early.
Yes, but blackout performance depends on more than the fabric. Side gaps, sill conditions, pocket geometry and reflected light paths all matter. Regent5 coordinates the architectural details when blackout is a project requirement.
Fabric selection considers openness, privacy, view preservation, solar performance, color, texture, room use and how the material looks from both inside and outside the residence.
Yes. Lutron motorized drapery can be integrated into the same scene strategy as roller shades and lighting, with track, stack, carrier, return and service-access details coordinated with the interior design.
Track shape, fabric weight, stack-back and draw direction are checked against the selected system. Programming can then group compatible drapery and roller shades by room, privacy requirement or household routine.
Yes. Compatible lighting and shades can move together from a single keypad command so electric light and daylight behave as one room system.
Yes. Compatible Lutron shades can be integrated with HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3. Exact product compatibility depends on the selected shade family and control platform.
Yes. Wire-free or retrofit-friendly options can add automated shading to many existing homes with less disruption. Window conditions, available mounting space and service access should be surveyed first.
Large, curved, corner or otherwise unusual glazing should be engineered individually. Shade size, tube deflection, fabric weight, pocket geometry, seams and access can change the appropriate solution.
Field measurements and the selected manufacturer's limits guide the final design. Adjacent shades may need coordinated seams, hembar alignment and access details so the installation looks consistent and remains serviceable.
Yes. Regent5 can assess, service and reprogram Lutron shading systems originally installed by other companies, subject to hardware condition, control-system access and product generation.
Regent5 supports Lutron shading projects across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, including the Peninsula, San Francisco, Marin, Wine Country, South Bay and the Monterey Peninsula, with select project coverage farther south.
