About Roman Shades
Lutron Roman shades are fabrication kits rather than finished shades. Lutron supplies the drive, tube, brackets and electronics; a workroom builds the fabric panel, lift cords and headrail.

Sizes and lift
The guide below prints each kit's width, height and lift from its submittal. Submittal 085346 lowers the Sivoia QS lifts for indirect lift through eye screws, tabled by cord geometry.
Controls
Triathlon models join Caséta (Smart Hub PRO), RA2 Select, RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks systems with QSX processors. Serena models pair with Pico, the 4-Group RF shade remote and Caséta; Triathlon models take the same remotes.
Writing it into a tender
Attach 085346 (Sivoia QS) or 085762 (Triathlon, Serena) and write the shade section to performance specification 122400, Window Shades. CAD drawings show the Roller 64 and Roller 100 Roman brackets.

Questions about Roman Shades
Eight questions specifiers ask about Lutron Roman shade kits, answered from submittals 085346 and 085762 and brochure 3671319.
Which Lutron Roman shade kit is wired and which runs on batteries?
The Sivoia QS kit (submittal 085346) is wired; the Triathlon and Serena kit (submittal 085762) runs on batteries.
- Sivoia QS: Roller 64, 100 or 150 drive, 4-pin terminal block
- Battery kit: 1.5 V D-cell alkaline batteries, Clear Connect Type A RF
- Brochure 3671319: Palladiom wired or wire-free, roller shades only
How wide can a Lutron Roman shade be?
Up to 145.25 in (3.68 m) with the Sivoia QS Roller 100 and Roller 150 kits, per submittal 085346.
- Sivoia QS Roller 64: up to 109.5 in (2.78 m)
- Triathlon and Serena (085762): 20 in (508 mm) to 109.5 in (2.78 m) wide
- Triathlon and Serena heights: 12 in (304.8 mm) to 120 in (3.05 m)
How much weight can a Lutron Roman shade kit lift?
Up to 23.5 lb (10.66 kg) on the Sivoia QS Roller 150, on direct lift, per submittal 085346.
- Roller 64: 11.7 lb (5.3 kg); Roller 100: 17.9 lb (8.12 kg), direct lift
- Triathlon and Serena kit (085762): 11.7 lb (5.3 kg), configuration dependent
The combined weight counts lift rings, cords, bands, battens and hembar with the fabric (085346).
Does Lutron supply the fabric, cords and headrail?
No: both submittals call the products fabrication kits for custom-fabricated Roman shades.
- Brochure 3671319: use your own material with Lutron automation
- Submittal 085346 marks the headrail as not included
- Submittal 085762: the lift mechanism is not provided by Lutron
Lutron's lift rings, shipped with the Triathlon kit or ordered separately, attach the workroom's cords to the tube.
What is the difference between direct and indirect lift?
Direct lift wraps the cords straight onto the tube through the top lift rings, with no eye screws (085346). Indirect lift passes the cords through an eye screw or other guide on the headrail first.
- Indirect lift lowers the allowable combined weight on every Sivoia QS drive
- Triathlon and Serena kit (085762): direct lift only; indirect not recommended
What are the operating conditions for Lutron Roman shade kits?
Indoor use at 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C) and relative humidity below 90%, non-condensing, per submittals 085346 and 085762.
- Submittal 085346: 8 year limited warranty on the Sivoia QS kits
- Submittal 085762: cULus listed (E135084) and FCC (USA)
Which documents go into a Roman shade tender and site pack?
Submittal 085346 for Sivoia QS or 085762 for Triathlon or Serena, with the shade section written to performance specification 122400.
Are Lutron Roman shade kits available in every market?
Not in Canada: brochure 3671319 notes that Roman shade kits are not available there.
- UK shipments: the Roller 64 kit includes a headbox with endcaps (085346)
- Hook strip WIN-RM-HOOK-50 sold separately in 164 ft (50 m) rolls
Both submittals remind the fabricator that finished shades must meet the cord safety standards of the place of installation.
