Honeycomb Essentials with the richest colour range: wine, navy, gold and green

Rio is the most colourful family in Lutron's Honeycomb Essentials Collection and comes in three constructions: a single-cell light-filtering (14 colours, R-value 3.5), a double-cell light-filtering (12 colours, R-value 3.6) and a single-cell room-darkening (8 colours, R-value 4.3). The card runs from Mist, Sand, Dogwood and Latte through Caramel, Butterscotch, Tea, Truffle and Mushroom to Wine, Navy, Field and Black, all PVC-free, 96 inches wide, with a white back so the facade stays neutral.

Cleaned by dusting and vacuuming; not seamed or railroaded.

Best Use & Limits

What Rio does on your glass, and what it does not

Best use

Choose the Rio construction before you choose the colour. The single-cell light-filtering carries the full fourteen and is the everyday answer for a room with a scheme to match. The double-cell is the one to move to where a room overheats. The single-cell room-darkening at R 4.3 is the bedroom version and runs to eight colours only, so Dogwood and Butterscotch do not carry across into it.

Privacy

Every Rio cell has a white back, so a neighbour sees the same pale shade whatever colour you chose inside. Daytime cover is complete. After dark the light-filtering versions show movement as a silhouette, far less through Wine, Navy, Truffle and Black than through Mist or Sand. The room-darkening cell takes the silhouette away, and a top-down bottom-up shade changes the question again, giving sky above and cover at eye level.

Glare control

No transmission figures are published for these cells, so the levers are construction and colour. All three kill the direct beam. Deep colours such as Navy, Black and Wine keep a television wall quiet, while Mist, Sand and Latte turn bright on a west window and put light straight back onto a screen. Double-cell reads a little denser than single-cell, though the reason to buy it is heat, not glare.

Limitations

Lutron calls the dark version room-darkening rather than blackout and the label is honest: it darkens well and it does not black out. A room that has to be fully dark wants a true blackout cell such as Madrid Blackout. There is no view out through any Rio. Cleaning is dusting and vacuuming, nothing wet, and 96 inches is the maximum width with no seam available.

Where Rio works here

Rio is the honeycomb for a room with a colour scheme: Wine in a study, Field green in a garden room, Navy in a boy's bedroom with the room-darkening version, Butterscotch in a Key West style kitchen. The white back keeps the outside uniform whatever the colour inside.

Good to Know

Rio: frequently asked

Single-cell or double-cell?

Double-cell adds a second layer of air pockets and a little insulation (R 3.6 against 3.5 in Rio) with a slightly more opaque look. Single-cell is lighter and available in more colours and in the room-darkening version.

How wide can a Lutron Rio shade be?

Lutron publishes a maximum usable fabric width of 96 inches for Rio. Wider openings are covered with two shades on one headrail, programmed to move together. We confirm the exact limit for the chosen system when we measure.

Which Lutron shades use Rio?

Rio is made up on Lutron honeycomb shades. As a certified Lutron dealer in Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach we order it for any Lutron system it is offered on and install it with our own team.

Is Rio PVC-free?

Yes. Lutron lists every Rio colourway as PVC-free, with RoHS Compliant certifications.

Can I see Rio samples before ordering?

Yes. Lutron makes memo samples of every Rio colourway on this page; tell us which colours you are considering and we order them from Lutron for your consultation. Both our Fort Lauderdale workroom (by appointment) and our Miami Beach showroom have Lutron shades running so you can see the fabrics in motion.
