Automated Shades From Crestron and Lutron Provide Style, Security, and Energy Savings.

Window treatments furnish the finishing touch to a room. Shades and sheers impart ambiance, elegance, and style. A home without window coverings is just not complete, leaving it looking unfinished and barren.

More than just window fashion, motorized shades have benefits beyond beauty; they can lower your energy costs and provide privacy.  Integration can also bring health benefits when tied to a system based on regulating circadian rhythms and better sleep.

Lutron and Crestron both manufacture high-quality shades in various colors and designs with sophisticated controllers. The choice depends on whether you are looking to add shades as complete home integration or as a standalone solution.

KETRA’S NATURAL LIGHTING SYSTEMS BRING BALANCE TO CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND BETTER OVERALL HEALTH

Natural light has a profound influence on the world around us, dictating the natural cycles and seasons. It is as much a life force as the blood that flows through our veins, with the power to invigorate and inspire us. Human biology is tied to the sun’s intensity and vibrancy transitions as the tides are to the moon. The sun influences the wax and wane of circadian rhythms, directing our sleep-wake patterns and, therefore, our daily energy and emotional state.

All too often, the illumination in our homes is seen merely in a utilitarian manner, functionality over comfort. Research has shown that our well-being, focus, and general outlook is greatly influenced by the type of light we experience. Ketra, purchased by Lutron in 2018, is a lighting company explicitly created to bring balance by integrating natural and tunable lighting.

Lutron Motorized Shades Maximizes Ambience and Energy Savings

Window treatments bring not just fashion but function as well to a room. We all know that a room looks incomplete without something on the windows to frame it all. It is the final piece in setting a space’s final effect.

In addition to acting as an accent to the decor of the room shades, blinds can lower your energy costs and provide a sense of privacy. Motorized window shades give you the means to best utilize daylighting, using the sun over electric illumination, and managing temperatures inside your Miami, Florida home.
Lutron shading solutions provide a wide variety of styles and the convenience to set them with a touch of a button or in conjunction with a smart lighting system.

Palladiom Shading System

Its intentional and innovative design is distinctly Lutron. The system maintains the standards of whisper-quiet technology, flawless function, and elegant style. Let’s break down a few of Palladiom’s features:

  • Minimalist aesthetic: The system is sleek with a slender 3-inch total profile. This means that you avoid a clunky looking system that distracts from the rest of your room.
  • Matching products: Uniformity among your hardware provides a more consistent and purposeful design in your home. Select the same tone and finish for your keypads as your shading hardware for a polished look.
  • Exposed bracket: Rather than hiding the technology, Lutron has decided to show it off. The brackets hide the electronics that make the shades work but can be opened if needed. The exposed bracket is available in black, white or satin nickel, making it a strategic decorative move.
  • Quiet performance: Why install a noisy piece of a technology? Especially when it comes to home technology like your smart shading system, you shouldn’t — and don’t — have to compromise.

The Palladiom’s design allows it to fit anywhere. You can use a ceiling or wall mount depending on your needs, preference or home layout.

Regardless of your home’s architectural style, the shades and its brackets will fit seamlessly into any window frame or recess.

Great Working Experience

"It was a pleasure working with ACS. To be quite honest (as I always am…) working with ACS was the best experience working with any AV/Home Integration company in my entire tenure here at Hobbs. "

- Jerry Cobaugh, Hobbs Inc.

House in the Hamptons

"In today’s world, with frequent technology changes and the need or desire to integrate a number of functions, I loved working with ACS because they made the time to explain the options, price them appropriately, install them right, educate us to the proper use and follow-up as needed."

- Bob Hurst

Individualized Systems

"I more than whole-heartedly endorse Audio Command Systems and its technicians and especially Michael Pittman without whose invaluable design suggestions our system would not be as individualized and easily operable as it is. The entire installation experience and subsequent enjoyment was and is immeasurable.

- Marc Desiderio
