Design-led living and entertaining spaces
The exposed track and machined brackets complement controls and metalwork while full-height fabric adds softness and scale.
Exposed motorized drapery engineered as a finished architectural element
Lutron Palladiom Motorized Drapery in Chicago
Lutron Palladiom Drapery brings motorized movement to an exposed architectural track rather than hiding the system behind a cornice. Pinch-pleat and ripple-fold versions pair custom-fabricated panels with D105 or D175 drive capacity, hand-finished aluminum hardware and Lutron lighting and shade control.
Current styles Pinch pleat or ripple fold on a straight, exposed wall-mounted track
Current drives D105 up to 85 lb or D175 up to 125 lb of custom-fabricated drapery
Power and communication 35 V low-voltage power with QS wired or wireless communication
Launch status Announced July 20, 2026; project and regional availability must be confirmed
Integrator guidance
Lutron Palladiom Drapery in a complete system designed by Davis Audio & Video.
Palladiom Drapery extends Lutron's craft-forward language to soft window treatments. A slender aluminum track conceals carriers, reinforcement and much of the automation within an exposed rod, while machined brackets and end treatments make the hardware part of the interior.
Current pinch-pleat and ripple-fold versions use D105 or D175 drives. D105 supports up to 85 pounds and D175 up to 125 pounds. The straight wall-mounted track offers left, right, center and tandem draw, reaching 12 feet unspliced or 30 feet with splices.
Lutron announced the product July 20, 2026. U.S. pages are live but carry a regional-availability notice, so Davis Audio & Video confirms orderability, finish, drive and lead time before proposal.
Where Lutron Palladiom Drapery is the right fit
Palladiom Drapery is best where soft fabric, visible architectural hardware and integrated movement are all intentional parts of the room.
Bedrooms and private suites
Scenes can provide privacy or morning opening. Fabric, lining, overlap, returns and floor clearance determine darkness.
Wide straight window walls
Spliced tracks can reach 30 feet. Center and tandem arrangements divide long spans according to panel weight.
Custom interior-design fabrics
The system accepts suitable custom material. Davis Audio & Video coordinates track and drive with the fabric workroom.
Homes already using Lutron control
Supported Lutron systems place drapery beside lighting and shade scenes with local, scheduled and app control.
What a well-designed Palladiom Drapery system does better
Turns the track into finished architecture
The aluminum body conceals carriers, drive and reinforcement. End treatments define how it meets the wall.
Matches drive capacity to the textile
Davis Audio & Video selects D105 or D175 from finished panel weight, lining, fullness and design margin.
Supports two established fabric styles
Pinch pleat creates a tailored heading; ripple fold creates consistent waves. Track and carriers follow the fabrication.
Coordinates drapery with lighting scenes
QS communication lets supported scenes establish privacy and lighting from one command.
Provides purposeful draw configurations
Left, right, center and tandem draw respond to views, doors and stackback before fabrication.
Professional design
Why professional Palladiom Drapery design matters
Track length, finished weight, fullness, lining, stackback, return, floor clearance and splices must work as one assembly. Davis Audio & Video and the workroom retain margin below published drive limits.
Current Palladiom Drapery is straight and wall mounted. Curved conditions point to Sivoia. Structural blocking supports the track and moving textile, while the workroom provides compatible custom panels and verified finished weight.
How Palladiom Drapery fits into a Davis Audio & Video system
With HomeWorks QSX
HomeWorks QSX coordinates drapery with lighting, keypads and scenes after current software and QS hardware are confirmed.
With RadioRA 3
Supported QS wireless configurations join RadioRA 3 after coverage, capacity and current interface checks.
With Caséta Smart Hub PRO or RA2 Select
Lutron lists both systems. Davis Audio & Video confirms communication and whether the platform fits the project.
With Control4 activities
Control4 can call selected Lutron scenes while Lutron retains drapery limits and primary control.

Planning notes
Palladiom Drapery design notes
- The workroom provides finished weight so Davis Audio & Video can select D105 or D175 with margin.
- Views, doors, furniture and wall return determine left, right, center or tandem stackback before fabrication.
- Lengths beyond 12 feet require splicing coordinated with draw, brackets and architectural alignment.
- The wall receives suitable blocking and 35 V power before finishes close the condition.
- Opacity, lining, overlap, returns and floor clearance determine darkness; motorization alone does not.
