Lutron Roman Shades
Folds that hold their line across every window. Motion the bedroom never hears. Scenes the household named.
You have stayed in a suite where the morning lifted before you did. The wall of windows landed as one. The room was already itself when you walked in.
The Aman. The Bulgari. The Park Hyatt. The St. Regis.
We fabricate the same Lutron Roman Shade family for your home. The bedroom in Kuala Lumpur. The living room in Singapore. The master suite your interior designer is detailing now.
Below, choose the Lutron line that fits your home. See how it is detailed into your room before the ceiling closes. Read what the warranty covers: eight years on Lutron, five years on us.
Trusted, Loved And Installed By
Welcome. Dinner Party. Quiet Morning. Now name yours.
Every household runs on three or four moments a day. Waking. Hosting. Settling. The Lutron home names those moments. The Roman shades answer when called.
Welcome. Dinner Party. Quiet Morning. Now name yours.
Every household runs on three or four moments a day. Waking. Hosting. Settling. The Lutron home names those moments. The Roman shades answer when called.
The morning that begins before you do.
The wand on the cord used to wait for someone. The sun came in piece by piece. The room took ten minutes to wake up. Now the folds lift at the hour you wake. The light arrives with you. The room is already itself when you walk in.
The dinner that lands as one room.
You used to walk along the wall of windows and adjust each Roman shade so the sunset did not flatten the dining table. Each one took its own moment. Now the Dinner Party scene runs the lights, the music, and the shades together. The wall lands as one. The first guest arrives to a room you did not have to manage.
The bedroom that dims around you.
Somebody used to close the Roman shades by hand on the way to bed. Each one took another minute. The cord clicked against the frame. Now the folds settle at the hour you keep. The room dims around you while you read. You do not hear them close.
Designed to disappear into your architecture.
In a room detailed by your designer, the Roman shade hides in the headrail pocket. The Sivoia QS chassis recesses into the soffit reserved at first concept. The drive sits inside the chassis. You see the fabric. You see the fold geometry your designer drew. You do not see the mechanism.

Recessed into the ceiling pocket.
Sivoia QS chassis dimensions match the drive family: 89 mm by 89 mm on R64, 127 mm by 127 mm on R100 through R300, 178 mm by 178 mm on R225 for atrium-scale glazing. The headrail disappears into the pocket the architect detailed before the ceiling closed. The fabric reads as part of the joinery, not a fitting added to it.
Finished to the full Lutron fabric library.
Blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, and sheer fabrics across the full Lutron library, with THEIA solar-screen certification holding openness factor to plus or minus 0.75 percent. Your designer pulls from the same library the hospitality projects pull from. The Roman shade reads as one continuous fabric treatment across the room, the corridor, or the wall of glass.
Fold geometry the designer specifies.
Stack height tailored to the drop, typical range 18 to 35 centimetres with reinforced fold-point stitching that holds the silhouette for the lifetime of the household. The fold count, the lining choice (standard or lined for street-facing rooms), and the bottom-rail finish all sit on the designer’s spec sheet before the fabric is cut.
Aligned across every window.
Across a wall of windows, the folds land at the same line and the bottom rails sit at the same height. The Lutron drive holds fold alignment under 1 millimetre across the drop of each shade, and bottom-rail alignment within 3 millimetres across adjacent shades. A row of eight living-room windows reads as one continuous fabric treatment.

A row of eight living-room windows reads as one continuous fabric treatment.
Folds within 1 millimetre across the drop.
Calibrated rail spacing, tension-balanced cord ladders, and reinforced fold-point stitching hold every fold to within 1 millimetre across the full drop of each shade. The pleats stack the same on the first morning and the ten-thousandth. Stitch drift stays under 2 percent across 24 months of daily cycles.
Bottom rails within 3 millimetres across the wall.
Across adjacent shades on a multi-window wall, bottom-rail alignment holds within 3 millimetres. Whether a wall of picture windows or a tall stairwell of stacked openings, the line at the bottom of each Roman shade sits where the eye expects it. The wall reads as one treatment.
Stored presets, recalled to the millimetre.
Programmed limits and stored presets are retained for the product’s lifetime through power loss. The Quiet Morning scene that lifts the shades to the same fold position every morning continues to lift them to the same position the next morning. The room remembers itself.
Quiet enough to forget.
The Sivoia QS R64 drive will not exceed 35 dBA measured at three feet, per Lutron Specification Submittal 085705c. That is roughly the level of a quiet library. A bedside reader will not hear it. A guestroom sleeper will not be roused. The room stays as you left it.

Below 35 decibels on Sivoia QS R64.
Lutron specifies the drive at no more than 35 dBA at three feet on R64. R100 is held below 38 dBA per Submittal 086106b. R225, the atrium-scale drive, also holds below 38 dBA. Quieter than a refrigerator hum. Quieter than the air conditioning. In a bedroom at 3 a.m., the folds settle and the room stays still.
Soft start, soft stop.
The Sivoia QS drive accelerates gradually and decelerates the same way. There is no mechanical click at the start of motion and no thud at the bottom of the travel. The Roman shade moves the way a hand would move it, if a hand had the patience.
Position retention through power loss.
Programmed limits and presets survive a power outage and stay accurate for the product’s lifetime. The shades return to the same fold position after the power cuts back in. No re-programming. No factory reset. No mid-evening interruption to a scene that just ran.
On the same bus as your lights.
Sivoia QS Roman Shades wake up on the same processor that already runs the home. The Pico remote that lowers the lights also lowers the shades. The keypad scene that opens the morning includes the Roman shades. The Lutron app shows shading beside lighting on the same screen. The Roman shade becomes a layer of the home, not a device on a separate system.

Native to HomeWorks QS, HomeWorks QSX, and RadioRA 3.
Sivoia QS connects natively to HomeWorks QS, HomeWorks QSX, RadioRA 2, RA2 Select, RadioRA 3, Quantum, and GRAFIK Eye QS. No bridge. No dry-contact closure. No extra controller. The Roman shade wakes up on the same processor that already runs the lights, the drapery, and the climate.
Pico remotes, seeTouch QS, Sunnata, Palladiom, and Alisse keypads.
The Pico remote that runs the evening scene also adjusts the Roman shades. The keypad your architect drew into the room schedule controls them. Custom engravings (Welcome, Open House, Dinner Party, Cinema, Quiet Morning, Sundown, Goodnight, Garden) name the scenes the household actually lives by. No new app. No new device.
Voice via HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home.
Voice control arrives through Lutron bridges into Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. The phrase that already lowers the lights in the master bedroom also lowers the Roman shades. The voice integration is Lutron’s, not a third-party plugin.
The shades track the sun for you.
Lutron’s Hyperion Solar Adaptive shading on HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 reads four sun modes (Direct Sun, Reflected Sun, Bright Sky, Overcast) and moves the fold position through the day. Glare disappears without the household thinking about it. The room is always at the right light.
Sivoia QS, Triathlon, or Serena: choose by home stage.
The Lutron Roman Shade family runs across three lines, each keyed to a home stage. The home you are building now. The home you are renovating. The Apple home you are upgrading. The right line is the one that fits the home's current state without compromise.

Sivoia QS for the home where the ceiling is still open.
For the home in build or renovation where the M&E is still active and the ceiling has not closed. Hardwired through the Lutron QS bus on Class 2, 35 V. Drive families R64 through R300, sized to the window. R64 below 35 dBA. Bottom rails align within 3 millimetres. Full QS bus integration with HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Quantum, GRAFIK Eye QS, and Crestron, Control4, Savant via LEAP API. The line specified when the architect, the interior designer, and the AV integrator are still in the same conversation.
Triathlon for the home already lived in.
Battery-powered or 12V wired, with ClearConnect RF throughout. D-cell alkaline batteries deliver 3 to 5 years of life through Lutron’s Active Energy Optimization. The Battery Boost option on wider shades extends life further. 38 dBA at three feet. Full Lutron ecosystem reach: Caseta Smart Bridge Pro, RA2 Select, RadioRA 3, HomeWorks QS, and HomeWorks QSX. The line specified when the home is built and the M&E cannot be reopened.
Serena for the Apple home retrofit.
Battery-powered, native to Apple HomeKit through the Caseta Smart Bridge. The Lutron fabric library at the entry into the Lutron tier. The line specified when the household lives on HomeKit scenes and Caseta lighting is already in the home.
The atelier reviews each project at the M&E stage.
The decision between Sivoia QS, Triathlon, and Serena is rarely contested once the wiring path is on the table. The atelier walks through home stage, fabric scope, control system, and budget before the line is confirmed.
Specified before the ceiling closes.
The Roman shade that disappears into the architecture is the Roman shade that was specified when the ceilings were still open. Sivoia QS is hardwired on Class 2, 35 V Lutron QS bus. The wiring decisions happen during M&E, not after move-in.

A conversation with the architect, the interior designer, and the AV integrator.
We sit with the architect, the interior designer, and the AV integrator before the joinery is finalised. We walk through chassis sizing, pocket depth, fabric selection, stack height, fold geometry, and keypad locations. The Roman shade is detailed into the room, not retrofitted onto it.
A mock-up before mass production.
Per CSI 12 22 16 workflow, we mock up the fabric, the fold geometry, the stack height, and the integration scene before any shade is fabricated. The household, the interior designer, and the architect approve the look in the showroom. Mass production starts after sign-off.
Five questions for your architect.
Before the ceiling closes: where does the chassis recess. What is the wiring path from the QS bus to the headrail. Which scenes will the Roman shades appear in. Which Pico or keypad runs which group. Which fabric and stack height match the room and the openness factor required. Ask these now, not after move-in.
Complete Technical Specifications for Lutron Roman Shades
What materials are Lutron Roman Shades made from?
Lutron Roman Shades use the full Lutron fabric library spanning blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, and sheer collections, an aluminium chassis sized to the drive family (89 mm on R64 through 178 mm on R225), reinforced fold-point stitching that holds folds under 1 millimetre across the drop, and the Lutron precision motor housed inside the chassis, per Lutron Specification Submittals 085705c (R64, 2023) and 086106b (R100, 2017) and the Romafold product specification (2026).
Luxury residential and hospitality projects where the fabric must coordinate with the joinery palette, the headrail must recess into an architectural pocket, and the fold geometry must hold across the lifetime of the household.
Fabric library
The full Lutron fabric library is available across blackout (opaque), dim-out (1 to 3 percent openness), sunscreen (5 to 10 percent openness), and sheer collections. THEIA solar-screen-certified fabrics hold openness factor to plus or minus 0.75 percent and visible light transmittance to plus or minus 1 percent, measured per EN 14500 by approved third-party labs.
Designer fabric brands
Lutron Roman Shades draw from Phifer, Hunter Douglas, Copaco, Mermet, and Lutron Fabrics across 300+ colours and 50+ designs, per the New Way fabric library register (2026).
Chassis sizing
The aluminium chassis recesses into the soffit at the dimension dictated by the drive family: 89 mm by 89 mm on R64, 127 mm by 127 mm on R100 through R300, and 178 mm by 178 mm on R225 for atrium-scale loads.
Fold construction
Reinforced fold-point stitching, calibrated rail spacing, and tension-balanced cord ladders hold fold alignment to under 1 millimetre across the full drop. Stitch drift stays under 2 percent across 24 months of daily cycles, per New Way three-stage QC field data (2020 to 2024).
Lining and bottom-rail finish
Standard or lined construction. Lining is the default recommendation for street-facing rooms and master bedrooms. Standard powder-coated bottom rail in colour-matched aluminium 6063-T5. Custom finishes available on request through Lutron Custom Color Matching.
How big can a single Lutron Roman Shade go?
A single Lutron Roman Shade covers up to 4 metres wide by 3.7 metres high in the cordless manual configuration, and up to 5 metres wide by 8 metres high in the motorised configuration, with bottom-rail alignment holding within 3 millimetres across adjacent shades and fold alignment under 1 millimetre across the drop, per the Romafold product specification (2026).
Architects detailing tall picture windows, double-volume living rooms, and corridor-length runs where a single Roman shade must serve a wall of glass without fold joints.
Manual configuration envelope
Cordless manual Lutron Roman Shades reach 4 metres wide by 3.7 metres high per single shade. Hardware load rating is 8 kg. The low-stretch lift cord is 1.2 millimetres in diameter. Headrail aluminium is grade 6063-T5, powder-coated.
Motorised configuration envelope
Motorised Lutron Roman Shades reach 5 metres wide by 8 metres high per single shade. The motor is matched to fabric weight and span at order.
Stack height
Typical stack height when fully raised is 18 to 35 centimetres, configuration-dependent (range 18 to 40 cm).
Multi-shade alignment
Across adjacent shades on a multi-window wall, bottom-rail alignment holds within 3 millimetres and fold alignment within 1 millimetre across the drop.
Light gap and recess depth
Symmetrical side light gap is held to a minimum of 19 millimetres (0.75 inches) by default. Where a near-blackout perimeter is required, side channels close the gap to under 3 millimetres per side. Standard recess depth is 11 inches (279 mm); a tight-fit path is available at 8 inches (203 mm).
How quiet is the Lutron Roman Shade motor at three feet?
The Sivoia QS R64 drive will not exceed 35 dBA at three feet, per Lutron Specification Submittal 085705c (2023). The R100 drive holds below 38 dBA per Submittal 086106b (2017). R225 also holds below 38 dBA. Triathlon, the battery-powered retrofit tier, is held at 38 dBA at three feet per Lutron Specification Submittal 085312k (2025).
Bedrooms, nurseries, home offices, and hospitality guestrooms where the household expects motorised motion to remain inaudible at sleep distance.
R64 at sub-35 decibels
Lutron specifies the R64 drive at no more than 35 dBA at three feet (1 m) per Submittal 085705c. The sound register sits roughly at the threshold of a quiet library. R64 is the most-specified drive for luxury residential bedrooms in Malaysia and Singapore.
R100 below 38 decibels
Lutron specifies the R100 drive at no more than 38 dBA at three feet per Submittal 086106b. R100 covers the workhorse configuration for floor-to-ceiling Roman shades in luxury residential.
R225 atrium-scale, still below 38 decibels
R225 carries the torque for spans up to 5 metres wide and still holds below 38 dBA at three feet.
Triathlon at 38 decibels
Triathlon, the battery-powered retrofit drive, is held at 38 dBA at three feet per Submittal 085312k.
Soft start, soft stop, position retention
Sivoia QS and Triathlon both accelerate and decelerate gradually. Programmed limits and stored presets are retained for the product's lifetime through power loss.
How does Lutron's drive hold folds within 1 millimetre?
The Lutron Sivoia QS drive monitors motor speed 500 times per second, applies roll-up diameter compensation as the lift cord travels, and combines with reinforced fold-point stitching and tension-balanced cord ladders to hold fold alignment under 1 millimetre across the drop and bottom-rail alignment within 3 millimetres across adjacent shades, per the Lutron Intelligent Hembar Alignment technical white paper 367-2063 (2025) and the Romafold product specification (2026).
Walls of windows in luxury residential corridors and double-volume living rooms where the line at the bottom of the Roman shades and the geometry of each fold must read as one continuous treatment.
Five-hundred-Hertz motor speed monitoring
Closed-loop electronic speed control checks motor speed 500 times per second and corrects against load, fabric weight, and tube diameter.
Roll-up diameter compensation
As the lift cord pays out and the fabric stack changes geometry, the drive varies RPM continuously to hold linear speed constant.
Tension-balanced cord ladders
The cord ladders that govern fold spacing carry tension calibrated to fabric weight at fabrication.
Reinforced fold-point stitching
Stitching at each fold point reinforces the calibrated rail spacing. Stitch drift stays under 2 percent across 24 months in normal use, per New Way three-stage QC field data (2020 to 2024).
Three deployment levels of alignment
Standard alignment ships factory pre-calibrated. Customised alignment accounts for lot-to-lot fabric variation. Advanced alignment integrates with Lutron Quantum for choreographed movement across an entire facade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-Sales
Sivoia QS Roman, Triathlon Roman, or Serena Roman: which Lutron Roman line is right for our home?
Lutron Roman Shades run as three distinct lines, each keyed to a home stage. Sivoia QS Roman is the hardwired, specification-grade line for new-build where the ceilings are still open, with fold alignment under 1 millimetre across the drop and bottom-rail alignment within 3 millimetres across adjacent shades. Triathlon Roman is the battery-powered line for retrofit homes, with 3 to 5 year D-cell life through Active Energy Optimization. Serena Roman is the Caseta-native line for Apple-led homes already running Caseta lighting. The decision turns on whether the wiring path is available, whether the household lives on HomeKit, and which Lutron processor is already in scope.
How do Lutron Roman Shades compare to Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, or other premium motorised Roman lines?
Lutron Sivoia QS Roman Shades differ from Hunter Douglas Architectural and Lafayette motorised Roman lines on three specs that matter at the luxury tier as of 2026. Alignment: Sivoia QS Roman holds fold alignment under 1 millimetre across the drop and bottom-rail alignment within 3 millimetres across adjacent shades, with the drive electronics monitoring motor speed 500 times per second. Acoustic: Sivoia QS R64 holds below 35 dBA at three feet per Lutron Submittal 085705c (2023). Control: Sivoia QS Roman sits natively on the Lutron QS bus alongside HomeWorks lighting, with no third-party bridge. Hunter Douglas and Lafayette typically route through proprietary motors that need a Lutron bridge added on top.
Is the cost difference between Lutron Roman Shades and other premium motorised lines worth it on a luxury project?
The case for Lutron Roman Shades at the luxury tier is a system case, not a discount argument. The Lutron Eight-Year Limited Warranty covers parts at 100 percent for the first five years and pro-rates through year eight, and the New Way Five-Year fabrication wrap sits on top covering the fabric, the chassis, the folds, and the drive housing. Fold alignment holds under 1 millimetre across the drop and bottom rails sit within 3 millimetres across a wall of windows, the kind of finish a guest notices in an Aman or Bulgari suite. The same Lutron processor runs the lighting scenes, so the Roman shades become a layer of the home rather than a separately bridged device.
Performance
How loud is a Lutron Roman Shade motor really, and can we hear it before specifying?
Lutron Sivoia QS Roman R64 will not exceed 35 dBA measured at three feet per Lutron Specification Submittal 085705c (2023). R100 holds below 38 dBA per Submittal 086106b. R225 also holds below 38 dBA. Triathlon Roman, the retrofit-tier drive, is held at 38 dBA at three feet per Submittal 085312k. The sound register is roughly that of a quiet library, below typical air-conditioning hum and below normal conversation. The honest answer to “can I hear it” is best given in person. The New Way showroom in Malaysia carries a working Sivoia QS Roman drive on display.
What happens to Lutron Roman Shades during a power outage?
Lutron Roman Shades retain their programmed limits and stored presets for the product’s lifetime through power loss, so no re-programming is required after an outage. The hardwired Sivoia QS Roman drive itself does not move while power is cut because the line is hardwired with no battery backup on the drive unit. When power returns, the shades resume normal operation and the previously named scenes recall to the same fold positions. Triathlon Roman and Serena Roman, the battery-powered lines, continue to operate during a power outage. If outage-time operation is in scope on a critical room, the project specifies a UPS on the QS bus or routes to Triathlon Roman.
Can Lutron Roman Shades deliver hospitality-grade blackout in a bedroom?
Lutron Sivoia QS Roman Shades deliver up to 98 percent blackout consistency at specified gap tolerances when the bedroom is specified as a system, per the Romafold product specification (2026). The configuration combines a blackout fabric from the Lutron fabric library, lined construction to eliminate face ripple and light show-through, aluminium side channels carrying internal wool pile, and sill angles closing the perimeter. Symmetrical side light gap holds to a minimum of 19 millimetres by default and closes to under 3 millimetres per side with the side-channel option. The light seals at the head, the sides, and the sill close to the level an Aman or Park Hyatt Tokyo guestroom achieves.
Smart Integration
We have a Lutron HomeWorks or RadioRA processor already specified. Does that change anything?
Lutron Sivoia QS Roman Shades connect natively to HomeWorks QS, HomeWorks QSX, RadioRA 2, RA2 Select, and RadioRA 3, so a processor already in the project carries the Roman shades as another zone on the same bus without a third-party bridge. The Pico remote, the seeTouch QS keypad, the Sunnata or Palladiom keypad, and the Lutron app reach the Roman shades the same way they reach the lighting and the existing roller shades. Hyperion Solar Adaptive shading is available on HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3, tracking the sun through four modes (Direct Sun, Reflected Sun, Bright Sky, Overcast). The AV integrator confirms spare bus capacity at the M&E review.
Installation
We did not pre-wire for shading during M&E. Can we still specify Lutron Roman Shades?
Lutron Roman Shades have a retrofit answer that preserves most of the outcome. Sivoia QS Roman is hardwired on Class 2, 35 V Lutron QS bus, so retrofitting into a finished ceiling typically requires opening the soffit or chasing the wall for new low-voltage cable. For homes past M&E without practical wiring access, the better Lutron answer is Triathlon Roman: battery-powered or 12V wired, ClearConnect RF wireless, 38 dBA at three feet per Lutron Submittal 085312k (2025), and 3 to 5 year D-cell battery life through Active Energy Optimization. The New Way atelier reviews each retrofit case to confirm whether the wiring path is viable for Sivoia QS Roman, or whether routing to Triathlon Roman preserves more of the original outcome.
Buying Journey
Who is the right first conversation: the architect, the interior designer, the AV integrator, or New Way?
For Lutron Roman Shades, the first conversation that produces the best outcome includes everyone before the joinery is sealed. The New Way atelier sits with the architect, the interior designer, and the AV integrator together to walk through chassis sizing, pocket depth, fabric selection, fold geometry, stack height, keypad locations, and scene logic. Per CSI 12 22 16 workflow, we mock up the fabric, the fold geometry, the stack height, and the integration scene before any shade is fabricated. The household and the spouse approve the look in the showroom. Mass production starts after sign-off.
