Lutron motorized shades are known for exceptionally quiet operation, which is one reason they are frequently specified for luxury homes, bedrooms, media rooms, and other spaces where motor noise could be distracting.

According to Lutron, its Sivoia QS shading systems operate at a rated sound level of 44 dBA measured three feet from the shade. Lutron describes this as quiet enough that the shades can operate without disrupting activities in the room. Lutron also engineers its shades for smooth, synchronized movement, which is particularly noticeable when several shades move together.

Lutron’s Intelligent Hembar Alignment helps multiple shades maintain precise alignment as they travel, so a bank of shades can rise and lower together rather than appearing uneven. This combination of quiet operation, smooth movement, and precise alignment is especially valuable for large window walls and open living spaces.

Actual sound can vary depending on the Lutron shading system, shade size, fabric, mounting method, and installation. A properly specified and professionally installed system should be remarkably unobtrusive during everyday use.

For Orlando luxury homes with large expanses of glass, Lutron shades can provide automated control of sunlight, glare, privacy, and heat gain without introducing distracting motor noise.
