Conrad Shades & Lutron Motorization

Handwoven shades, installed and integrated for Bay Area custom homes. Regent5 coordinates measurement, compatible Lutron motorization, wiring, programming and service alongside your interior designer.

Original Sunshades and DesignerLine

Conrad's Original Sunshades and DesignerLine programs give design teams two broad material directions for custom natural-texture window treatments, including roman-style treatments, roll-up shades, sliding panels, drapery and cornice treatments.

Handwoven Natural Materials with Architectural Character

Conrad is known for handwoven window coverings made from natural and natural-looking materials that bring texture, filtered daylight and a crafted finish to interiors. Regent5 works with homeowners, architects and interior designers to select the weave, opacity, treatment style and motorization approach room by room.

Lutron Motorization for Conrad Shades

Compatible Conrad treatments can be engineered with Lutron motorization. Regent5 resolves treatment, drive, power and control requirements together, then installs and programs the system. Material, dimensions, finished weight and hardware are checked before ordering.

Measurement, Blocking, Power and Installation Details

Natural-fiber shades reward careful field coordination. Regent5 checks inside- versus outside-mount conditions, light gaps, tall or wide openings, corners, bay windows, pocket dimensions, blocking, mounting substrate, motor clearances and concealed power before the order is released.

Privacy, Daylight and Blackout Strategies

Open natural weaves can preserve daylight and texture while denser treatments improve privacy. Bedrooms, media spaces and high-solar-load rooms may call for lining or a separate blackout roller behind the decorative Conrad layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Conrad shades be motorized?

Yes. Selected Conrad treatments can be engineered with motorization. Regent5 commonly coordinates Conrad materials with Lutron shading drives when treatment dimensions, weight and hardware support the application, then integrates the shades with lighting scenes, keypads, schedules and broader automation where appropriate.

Do you work with our interior designer's Conrad specification?

Yes. Regent5 can work from the designer's selected Conrad materials and treatment intent, then coordinate measurement, motorization, wiring, controls, installation, programming and commissioning. The designer retains creative direction while Regent5 resolves the technical and installation details.

Can Conrad shades provide full blackout?

Some treatments can be lined for greater privacy and light control, but a decorative natural-fiber shade is not always the best tool for true blackout. For bedrooms and theaters, Regent5 often evaluates a layered design with a separate blackout roller behind the Conrad treatment.

Can we combine Conrad shades with Lutron roller shades in the same room?

Yes. A common strategy is to use Conrad as the visible decorative layer and a separate Lutron roller for solar control or blackout. The two layers can be coordinated on separate channels so scenes decide when each treatment moves.

Can I discuss Conrad shades at the Regent5 showroom?

Yes. Arrange a private appointment at the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos to discuss Conrad selection and Lutron motorization. Bring plans and finish samples, and tell us which materials and operating details you would like to compare.

Can Regent5 service an existing motorized Conrad installation?

Yes. Regent5 can evaluate existing shades, motors, power and control wiring, Lutron or automation programming, alignment, limits and overall system condition, then recommend repair, reprogramming, replacement or broader system cleanup.
