Perfect Alignment
Motorized shades can create an environment that welcomes dawn and enhances a home’s beauty with natural light. In the morning, the window coverings open incrementally, revealing the full magnificence of a rising sun. Throughout your home, the shades rise in alignment, greeting a new day in perfect synchronicity across a row of windows. This striking feature creates the illusion that the many shades are one, providing a sophisticated, minimalist look.
At Beacon Audio Video Systems, we partner with Lutron, a globally recognized leader in motorized window treatments. Their window coverings feature a whisper-quiet motor, ensuring an uninterrupted atmosphere as they automatically adjust throughout the day, maintaining ideal levels of natural light and privacy.
Designer Materials and Enhanced Aesthetics
Lutron curates the latest designer fabrics from leading textile manufacturers around the world. The result is design-forward window treatments that align perfectly with your home’s aesthetic, elevating its beauty while adding style, whether blending in or serving as a focal point.
Lutron offers an extensive selection of fabrics and materials, from handwoven textiles to sheer and blackout fabrics. Customized materials for motorized draperies ensure a refined, polished aesthetic. Palladiom, a premium luxury line, features a sleek, modern presentation. Exposed brackets are available in a variety of finishes, from bronze to anodized aluminum, ensuring consistency in design. With over 1,000 materials and fabrics to choose from, along with eight different styles, you’re assured the ideal application.
Additional automated window covering options include basswood and horizontal sheer blinds, as well as honeycomb and Roman shades. These shades are custom-built to exact measurements, ensuring a precise fit that aligns with the window frame. Recessed installations hide the roller and mechanisms within a window frame pocket or in the ceiling.
Lutron also offers tensioned shades designed for skylights and architectural windows. Taut fabric lies close to the window surface, creating clean lines that enhance, rather than detract from, a home’s design.
Automated Privacy
Life gets busy. Before you realize it, night falls, and your window coverings are still open. By automating shades to astronomical time, the shades lower as soon as the sun sets, creating a safe and private space.
The material type also determines the level of privacy. Whereas sheer weaves preserve the view of the outside, translucent weaves create a filtered glow that provides greater privacy. Opaque fabrics block light and maintain total privacy.
Aligning with Artificial Light
The lighting in a luxury home plays a significant role in its design, aesthetics, and overall feel. When natural and electric work together, the ideal illumination is born, breathtaking in its subtlety and awe-inspiring in its design. Automated to ensure the perfect lighting, as one dims, the other brightens.
