Extend You Living Space with Automated Outdoor Shades

Lutron Outdoor Motorized Shades

Saskatchewan’s fresh springs, beautiful summers and crisp fall days deserve to be enjoyed to the fullest. Lutron’s outdoor motorized shade systems transform patios, decks, pergolas, gazebos and porches into comfortable, versatile living spaces that adapt to changing weather conditions.

Built for 3 seasons of Saskatchewan Weather

 

  • Operating Range: Designed for temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
  • Wind Resistance: For demanding exterior applications, Lutron technology is integrated into specialized systems (e.g., co-branded outdoor shades) that feature robust guide systems (such as cables or zippered tracks) to help secure the fabric and minimize movement in breezy conditions.
  • UV Resistance: Lutron fabrics, particularly solar screen options, are designed to filter out over 99% of harmful UV rays when deployed, which helps protect interior furnishings and materials from sun damage.
  • Moisture Protection: Weather-sealed motors and controls prevent damage from rain, sleet, snow and dust.
 

SMART WEATHER RESPONSE

  • Wind Sensors: Automatically retract shades when winds exceed safe levels
  • Sun Sensors: Deploy shades when UV levels reach preset thresholds
  • Weather Alerts: Integration with local weather services for storm preparation
