Motorized Shades for Floor-to-Ceiling Windows & Skylights
See How Lutron Enhances Your Interior Design While Simplifying Shading
Ceiling-high windows and skylights are excellent for natural light and making your home feel more spacious. But the downside?
For one, wall-length windows offer less privacy. You might accidentally keep drapes closed all day out of inconvenience. And occasionally, especially with skylights, you’ll find there’s too much sunlight beaming through the windows, like when you’re trying to take a daytime nap, watch a movie in the home theater, or keep the house cool.
That’s why Lutron motorized shades are a gift to any homeowner with large or unusually placed windows. Their motorized window treatments can be activated instantly for the entire house but are especially helpful in those expansive or hard-to-reach places.
Motorized shades let you enjoy the view and sunlight more often and enjoy privacy instantly when you need it. Lutron offers stylish options in various fabrics, materials, and opacities to complement your interior décor.

Horizontal Drapery at One Press of a Button
Usually, when people discuss motorized shades, they’re referring to vertical roller or roman shades. But what about wall-length windows that use drapery and curtains? With Lutron, your drapes don’t have to be left out of smart home automation.
Lutron’s Sivoia QS drapery track system provides an incredibly wide range of options, with motorized solutions up to 30-feet long! Automated shades can move along multiple curved walls, essentially traveling an entire room. Drapes can be programmed to move to the right, the left, or open from the center – perfect for doorways. The ultra-quiet motor won’t be a distraction, and you can connect your motorized drapes into your smart home system.
Smart Shades for Skylights & Angled Windows
Most people never bother attempting to add shades on the ceiling. But during humid Virginia summers, it may be beneficial to block out the sun during the hottest times of day, keeping the room cool. And if you want less light for movie time or rest, your skylights could interfere.
Luckily, Lutron’s motorized shades can be applied to the ceiling and angled walls. Its tensioned shades keep the fabric taut and flat against the window, never falling or sagging. In one command, you transform your living spaces into a cool, dim atmosphere, then just as quickly let the sunshine in. Heat sensors also tell your shades to lower when the room becomes too hot, so you proactively save energy.
Sync with Smart Lighting to Set the Mood
In a smart home system, your shades and smart LEDs can be grouped to create custom ‘scenes’ you relive at any moment. Imagine tapping ‘Morning’ on your phone, tablet, or wall keypad. Shades open immediately, and lights turn on to a bright cool tone in any dark spaces. Tap ‘Goodnight,’ and all your shades lower, and lights turn off, simplifying your nighttime routine.
The possibilities are endless with motorized shades and smart lighting. If you’re interested in a professional installation in the Arlington area, contact Innovative Audio Video here. We look forward to discussing your home project soon!
