Sentry Audio Video provides complete Lutron motorized shade systems for South Florida homes, estates, condominiums, renovations and new construction. We handle the project from the first window review through final alignment and programming: field measurements, fabric and openness guidance, privacy and blackout planning, wired or battery power, pockets and fascia, ordering, installation, keypad and app control, lighting integration and ongoing support.

Complete Lutron Shade Design and Installation
A successful shade system is more than a motor and fabric. Each opening must be evaluated for dimensions, sun direction, view preservation, privacy, glare, heat, mounting depth, power, control and the finished architectural detail. Sentry coordinates those decisions as one system so the shades look intentional and operate reliably.
- Field measuring: precise opening measurements, mounting conditions and grouping requirements.
- Fabric selection: solar-screen openness, color, view-through, privacy, room darkening and blackout goals.
- Power planning: low-voltage wired shades for new construction and renovation, plus battery-powered options for finished homes.
- Architectural coordination: recessed pockets, fascia, side channels, trim, millwork, drapery clearances and access for future service.
- Professional installation: secure mounting, clean wiring, level alignment, consistent hembar position and grouped movement.
- Controls and programming: wall keypads, remotes, schedules, app control, scenes and compatible smart-home integration.
Lutron Shade Collections We Design and Install
As an authorized Lutron dealer, Sentry helps homeowners and design teams select Palladiom, Sivoia and Triathlon shades around the architecture, window dimensions, fabric goals, power availability and control system. We supply, measure, install and program the selected system as one coordinated project.
Palladiom Shades
For rooms where the shade hardware is part of the interior design, Palladiom offers a refined exposed-roller appearance. We coordinate bracket finishes, fabric, mounting details and the appropriate wired or wire-free approach with the homeowner and designer.
Sivoia Shades and Window Treatments
Sivoia supports a broad range of motorized window-treatment designs. We review roller shades, drapery and other applicable styles alongside pockets, fascia, power and compatible Lutron controls so the finished system suits the room and the overall project.
Triathlon Shades
Triathlon is a practical option for many finished homes and retrofit projects where battery-powered shades reduce the need for new power wiring. Sentry reviews each opening, battery access, fabric selection and compatible controls before recommending the system.

Shade Solutions for Every Room and Exposure
Solar Shades That Preserve the View
Solar fabrics reduce glare and direct sun while maintaining a connection to outdoor views. Openness factor, fabric color and window orientation all affect performance. We review the actual room conditions so the chosen fabric balances view-through, screen visibility, heat and interior appearance.
Privacy, Room-Darkening and Blackout Shades
Bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and street-facing spaces may need greater privacy or darkness. A blackout fabric blocks light through the material, while side channels, pockets, fascia and layered treatments can reduce perimeter light. We explain the expected result before ordering so “blackout” is specified honestly.
Dual-Roller Shades
Many South Florida rooms need two different functions: a solar shade for daytime glare and a privacy or blackout shade after dark. A dual-roller design provides both without asking one fabric to solve competing needs.
Drapery Tracks and Layered Window Treatments
Motorized drapery can soften a room, improve nighttime privacy and complement roller shades. We coordinate track location, stacking space, ceiling or pocket details and control so drapery operates as part of the same daily scenes.
Large, Tall and Difficult-to-Reach Windows
Double-height spaces, wide glass walls and windows above stairs require careful measurement, mounting and service planning. We evaluate each opening for the appropriate Lutron solution, power route and safe long-term access.
Wired and Battery-Powered Lutron Shades
Wired shades are usually the best fit for new construction, major renovations and larger whole-home projects. Low-voltage power can be concealed, maintenance is minimized and many shades can be coordinated throughout the property. Shade power, pockets and wiring should be planned before drywall and millwork are finalized.
Battery-powered shades can bring motorized control to finished homes and condominiums without opening extensive wall areas. They are useful where new wiring is impractical, but battery access and future replacement should be considered—especially at high or hard-to-reach windows.
Some projects use both. Sentry recommends the practical power method for each opening rather than forcing one approach across the entire property.
Lutron Shades, Lighting and Smart-Home Scenes
Lutron shades can work with Lutron lighting so one keypad or scene coordinates daylight, privacy and electric light. A Morning scene can raise selected shades and bring lights to a comfortable level. Movie can lower blackout shades and dim the room. Goodnight can close privacy shades and turn off common-area lighting.
Where appropriate, Sentry also integrates Lutron shades with compatible Control4, Savant and voice-control systems. The goal is simple operation: clearly labeled keypads, useful scenes and manual control that guests can understand.

New Construction, Renovations and Existing Homes
For a new build or renovation, involve Sentry before shade pockets, electrical rough-in, ceilings and millwork are complete. Early coordination protects the design and reduces expensive changes. We can work with the homeowner, builder, architect, interior designer, electrician and window-treatment professional to define responsibilities and details.
For an existing home, we assess finished conditions and propose surface-mounted, fascia, battery-powered or selective-wiring options that respect the property.
South Florida Shade Planning
Boca Raton, Palm Beach and coastal homes often combine large glass openings, strong east- and west-facing sun, reflective water, seasonal occupancy and valuable interior finishes. Fabric samples should be viewed in the actual space whenever possible. We plan shade groups and scenes around the room’s real exposure, privacy needs and view priorities.
Lutron Motorized Shade Installation in Boca Raton and Palm Beach
Sentry provides in-home Lutron shade consultations, field measuring, product sales, installation and programming throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach. We review every opening for width, height, mounting depth, power, privacy, glare, view preservation and the finished architectural detail before the shades are ordered.
Our team can coordinate wired shades and recessed pockets during construction or recommend battery-powered and surface-mounted options for an existing home or condominium. The consultation can include fabric samples, openness and blackout planning, keypad and app control, lighting integration and a written project scope. Schedule a Lutron shade consultation or call (561) 717-3280.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sentry sell and install Lutron shades?
Yes. Sentry Audio Video is an authorized Lutron dealer. We design, measure, supply, install, program and support complete Lutron motorized shade systems.
Can you add Lutron shades to a finished home?
Yes. Battery-powered, surface-mounted and selective-wiring approaches can work well in finished homes. The right method depends on each opening and the desired appearance.
Do you provide fabric samples and measuring?
Yes. We review fabric goals and field-measure the openings before the system is ordered. Final selection considers openness, color, privacy, glare, view-through and light leakage.
Can you make a room completely dark?
Blackout fabric blocks light through the fabric, but perimeter gaps may remain. For the darkest result, we evaluate side channels, pockets, fascia and layered treatments and explain the expected performance.
Can one keypad control lighting and shades?
Yes. Lutron lighting and shades can share keypads, schedules and scenes. Compatible smart-home integration can also coordinate shades with audio/video, climate and security routines.
Do you service existing Lutron shades?
We evaluate existing systems for control issues, programming, alignment, expansion and modernization. Parts availability and repair options depend on the shade model, age and installation.
