Roman shades | overview
Lutron® Roman shades with CERUS® safety technology
A revolutionary design in Roman shades; the Cord Eliminating Roman Uptake System (CERUS) eliminates
lifting cords associated with normal Roman shade construction and creates an industry first for safer shades
with silent and smoother operation. The drives used in Lutron Roman shades have specific hardware to
ensure smooth motion on a Roman shade, which has different loading than a roller shade. Roller 64TM and
roller 100TM drives are available, depending on the size of the Roman shade.
Lutron Roman shades are offered in four styles:
Woven woods only available for Flat style
Flat Hobbled Knife Casual
CERUS Fabrication kit
The CERUS fabrication kit is comprised of components that a local workroom can affix to a Roman
shade fabric panel. The primary components of the kit are the CERUS bands. Note: The CERUS Roman
shade fabrication kit is only offered to qualified Lutron shade providers. This solution is a standard line
item in the Shade Configuration Tool, versions 7.0 and higher.
Roman shade dimensions
In order to expand Roman shades sizes, a 2-on-1 and 3-on-1 headrail system has been developed. This
allows for multiple fabric/woven woods panels to be attached to one headrail with the ability to custom
place each panel. This allows consideration of window mullions, hardware, etc. There is a minimum light
gap requirement of at least 0.5 in. between woven woods panels; there is no requirement for soft fabrics.

About CERUS safety technology
Eliminating cords from the traditional construction of Roman shades has four
major advantages:
Improved reliability
With the elimination of cords, the Roman shade will never become tangled,
ensuring the shade will work perfectly every time.
Superior performance
CERUS also allows for a smoother, more even travel of the shade, since a cord
is not stacking and slipping as it rolls. Additionally, Lutron electronic drive units for
Roman shades have upgraded software for enhanced precision movement.
Quiet operation
Lifting cords slip and stack as the shade rolls, creating a noticeable noise that
can be amplified if the cords become entangled. By replacing these cords with
CERUS bands, these issues are eliminated, allowing your near-silent electronic
drive unit (38 dBA at 3 ft.) to maintain quiet operation as to not disrupt a space.

Advanced safety
CERUS safety technology allows for a safer Roman shade system by utilizing
uptake bands in place of exposed inner cords. Inner cords may pose a
strangulation hazard to small children.
