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. For finished rooms, Regent5 installs battery-powered Lutron Triathlon shades, including Triathlon Select, or wire-free Palladiom; wired Sivoia QS suits rooms where pockets and power can be planned during construction.
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 Blindspace TrackTrim, which sets Lutron drapery track flush into the ceiling, and Blindspace concealment pockets for roller shades. We draw the condition around the actual treatment rather than forcing a standard pocket detail onto every window.

Where we work.
Regent5 designs, installs and services motorized shades across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, including San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley and Russian Hill), Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, Palo Alto and Los Altos Hills. Select engagements extend to Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles area, and Orange County. Regional resources cover the Peninsula, South Bay, Marin, Wine Country and Carmel/Monterey.
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.
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.
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. Blackout performance depends on more than the fabric, since side gaps, sill conditions and pocket geometry all matter.
Regent5 is a certified Lutron dealer for HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Ketra, Rania and Lumaris, and for Lutron motorized shades and drapery, including Sivoia QS, Palladiom and Triathlon. 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. Systems include Palladiom and Sivoia-based solutions where appropriate to the project.
For offices, Regent5 installs Lutron Contract Roller shades and Alena drapery.
It is a fair question, and the answer depends on the project. Cost is driven by window count and dimensions, fabric, wired or wire-free power, pocket geometry and mounting, any drapery, and how the shades are programmed with lighting and keypads. A number given without drawings or a site visit would mislead. Bring your window schedule to the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos or book a consultation.
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. Compatible Lutron shades can be integrated with HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3, depending on the selected shade family and control platform.
