Wire-Free Window Shades That Redefine Design: Palladiom & Triathlon
Effortless Design, No Wires Required
Beautiful rooms start with light—how it enters, shifts, and softens. But when you’re improving a home that’s already finished, adding motorized shading can sound like a renovation headache. That’s where Palladiom Wire-Free and Triathlon shades come in. They offer architectural elegance with zero rewiring, running entirely on batteries hidden within the roller tube.
It’s the ideal approach for homeowners and designers who want refined control and aesthetics, without opening walls or fishing wires.
What Makes Wire-Free Different
Wire-free shading isn’t just convenient—it’s transformative for retrofit projects and design flexibility.
Fast installation: Shades mount directly to jambs or headers with minimal disruption.
No rewiring: Everything runs on replaceable batteries inside the shade itself.
Refined aesthetics: Hardware is precision-machined, with clean lines meant to be seen.
Quiet performance: Motor movement is nearly silent—ideal for open-concept and wellness-focused spaces.
You get the performance of a wired system, the beauty of architectural hardware, and none of the mess.
Palladiom Wire-Free: Sculpted Hardware for the Design Purist
Palladiom is a design object in its own right. Each bracket is machined from solid aluminum or brass with concealed fasteners, creating a luxury finish that complements fine interiors. There are no bulky fascias or add-ons—just a slim roller, designer fabric, and graceful proportion.
Power comes from standard D-cell batteries housed neatly in the roller. Typical battery life ranges from four to six years, depending on shade size and daily use. Replacements are simple—no disassembly, no drywall dust.
Ideal for: living rooms, primary suites, open floor plans, and anywhere you’d prefer to celebrate the hardware rather than hide it.
Triathlon Shades: Discreet Comfort, Everyday Flexibility
For rooms where you want sleek, reliable shading but prefer the shade to disappear, Triathlon is the go-to. These battery-powered shades also install without wiring but offer more mounting flexibility and compact profiles for tight spaces or smaller windows. Triathlon shades come in Roller styles, Roman, or Cellular.
Triathlon shades use AA or D-cell batteries, depending on size, and typically deliver three to five years of battery life under daily operation. They can also be tied into whole-home systems or used independently with simple wall controls or an app.
Ideal for: bedrooms, home offices, media rooms, and secondary spaces where you want quiet performance and subtle aesthetics.
Designer Fabrics, Refined Motion
Wire-free doesn’t mean compromise. Both Palladiom and Triathlon support an expansive range of designer textiles—from Hartmann & Forbes natural weaves to CONRAD handwoven fibers—along with high-performance solar and blackout fabrics.
That means you can match your shades to your design palette while retaining the same precision movement, quiet operation, and architectural presence.
Energy Efficiency: More Than Just Looks
In Colorado’s bright, cold winters, shades do more than filter light—they can help balance indoor temperature. With automated solar-gain programming, shades can open during sunny hours to capture warmth and close at dusk to hold it in.
Studies from the U.S. Department of Energy show properly programmed shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40%, translating to meaningful energy savings. Wire-free doesn’t mean “simple only”—you can still automate these battery-powered systems for intelligent comfort.
What to Expect During Installation
Wire-free shades can be installed in a matter of hours, not days:
• Mounting to existing trim or header—no cutting, no patching.
• Battery housings concealed within the tube.
• Level/plumb verification for crisp, even light lines.
• Scene setup and battery tracking to optimize longevity.
Our team documents each installation for battery maintenance and integrates shades into larger lighting and comfort scenes where desired.
