Project Overview

The project centered around the installation of Lutron Triathlon shades, chosen for their battery-powered design, compatibility with the home's existing automation systems, and their ability to provide both privacy and controlled natural lighting. These shades were not replacements but a new addition to a window that previously lacked any covering, making the choice of a battery-operated solution ideal due to the absence of existing wiring.

Customization Details

Customization was a key aspect of this installation. The shades needed to fit precisely within the specific measurements of the bathroom window to ensure optimal functionality and visual integration. The choice of fabric was particularly crucial. A translucent 3% fabric was selected, matching the room's color scheme while allowing soft light filtration that maintains privacy yet still offers a view of the outdoors. This custom approach ensured that the shades would perform their intended function and enhance the interior decor.

Product Highlights

The Lutron Triathlon battery shade stands out for its ease of use and energy efficiency. These shades are designed to be low-maintenance and feature a battery life of up to five years, which is a great advantage for busy households. Their quiet operation and synchronization during movement provide a subtle yet sophisticated technological touch that enhances the user experience.

Integrated with the Lutron Homeworks automation system and Savant AV system, the shades can be controlled along with the house’s lighting and audiovisual systems, offering a seamless home automation experience. This integration allows for scenes and settings that can be adjusted according to different times of the day or specific needs, such as reducing glare during peak sunlight hours while still keeping the room bright and welcoming.

Installation Insights

The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the design of the Triathlon shades, which are intended for easy setup without the need for invasive procedures or potential damage to wall structures. This ease of installation is particularly beneficial in scenarios where electrical wiring is not available or where minimal disruption to the home's existing structure is desired.

Benefits & Impact

The primary benefits of the Lutron Triathlon motorized shades in this Wilmette home are multi-faceted. They provide the necessary privacy for a bathroom setting, block excessive sunlight in the mornings to create a more comfortable environment, and still allow an appreciable amount of natural light to enter the space, maintaining a connection with the outdoors. The shades enhance the room's usability and aesthetic appeal, proving that functionality and design can go hand in hand.
