Blinds & Shutters hears about Lutron’s new range of blinds fabrics for both residential and commercial installations

Lutron Electronics Co. Inc. has launched what it calls its most comprehensive range of blinds fabrics to date, incorporating a vast range of colours, textures and finishes, suitable for any design requirement.

The range includes two designer collections: The Gallery and Classico. Both boast wide selections of sustainable, PVC free and fire safe (EU M1 fire rating) fabrics and offer designers and installers alike a wide palette of textures and finishes to choose from.

Amongst the ranges featured within The Gallery collection are sheer and dim-out fabrics in a selection of versatile designs. One of the ranges, Dim-out, provides designers with a selection of fabrics that are more opaque than sheer fabrics and are created to provide a slightly translucent glow, reducing the view of shapes and shadows, guaranteeing privacy. Another range within the collection, Burnout, includes textured, sheer designs that create interesting light and shade patterns that compliment any scheme.

The Classico collection has been created with a more corporate design scheme in mind and includes blackout, dim-out and sheer ranges with varying degrees of solar absorption, reflection and transmission. In addition, there are also GREENGUARD and Oeko-Tex certified ranges within the Classico collection, enabling those with an environmentally conscious design remit to fulfill their brief in style. Lutron also offers the facility of incorporating company logos onto specific shades fabrics as required. Customers also have the option of supplying their own fabric to Lutron to create bespoke blinds for commercial and residential interiors.

All of The Gallery and Classico blinds fabrics can be used in conjunction with Lutron’s Sivoia QS daylight control technology. Sivoia QS enables seamless integration of artificial light and daylight without the use of additional interfaces. Blinds and lights can be controlled together through Lutron’s GRAFIK Eye QS or via SeeTouch QS keypads.  This next generation of ultra-quiet (rated at 44dBA at 1m), precision control for Lutron Shading Solutions enhances design and adds flexibility at any stage of a project.

Allan Delors-McDonald from Lutron’s European Marketing team commented:  “The launch of such a comprehensive range of blind fabrics for both commercial and residential installations highlights our commitment to catering for the varying needs and tastes of our customers and their end users.  Combined with our Sivoia QS ultra-quiet drives technology, Lutron offers the ultimate in high-end, stylish, reliable shades solutions.”
