Hardware you are meant to see
Brackets and hembars are milled from solid aluminum or brass and finished by hand, so the shade reads as an architectural object. The curved hembar mirrors the fabric roll.
Adjacent shades stay level with Intelligent Hembar Alignment. Palladiom shades cannot be mechanically coupled, so each shade has its own drive, and a center bracket can create a coupled look. Compare with Sivoia QS and Triathlon.
Aged Bronze hardware, three fabric families
Roller shade brackets and endcaps come in Aged Bronze. Fabrics are light-filtering, privacy, and blackout.
| Option | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket and endcap | Aged Bronze | Milled aluminum or brass, hand finished |
| Fabrics | Light-filtering, privacy, blackout | Mix by room: sheer in living areas, blackout in bedrooms |
| Matching keypads | Champagne, Matte Graphite (Signature Metals) | Palladiom keypads share the same materials; see Palladiom keypads |
Where Palladiom works hardest
Tall glass, kitchens, and steel windows are where shade hardware shows. We plan shade, lighting, and keypads together so a room moves as one scene.
Quiet motion, scenes from keypads, the Lutron app, schedules, and voice, and sun-following automation reduce glare and heat gain. See a Spicewood home with sheer shades and hidden systems, and our service areas.
Palladiom shade FAQ

How long do Palladiom batteries last?
Lutron lists a typical life of 3 to 5 years, depending on shade size and use.
