Shades Support

A project’s priorities, along with the functional needs for a given space, can help facilitate a fabric selection.

Commercially, fabric performance properties and certifications are equally as important as aesthetics. Priorities need to be established for each project. Priorities may include the aesthetic look of the fabric, energy savings potential, indoor environmental quality, preserving a view, blocking a view, and increasing privacy. These priorities help to eliminate or narrow down fabric options. Use the Performance Shading Advisor to help select the best solar screen fabric according to your project's parameters and priorities

Residentially, fabrics election is most typically based on aesthetics and views. Choose a fabric that complements the décor of your space and gives you the degree of privacy according to the function of the interior space. A sheer fabric may be ideal for a kitchen or living-room application to allow for a view, while a translucent or blackout shade might be most appealing in a bedroom application.

Depending on the type of fabric, there are suggested methods for cleaning, including hand dusting, vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, or having the shades professionally cleaned. Please review the Cleaning Fabrics on Lutron Shades knowledge article for specific instructions.

We have a wide variety of fabrics available for all applications. Styles include roller shades, honeycomb shades, horizontal sheer blinds, and woods blinds. Please visit lutronfabrics.com for additional information.
