Lutron Stratus Fabric
12 colourways, openness <3%, light-filtering / blackout, up to 116 inches wide. Every swatch and every specification, from a certified Lutron dealer in Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
A railroadable light-filtering weave in six cloud colours
Stratus is a 100% polyester Gallery fabric, light-filtering at under 3% openness, 116 inches wide, PVC-free, lead free and anti-microbial, in six colours (Swan, Oyster, Sail, Chiffon, Earl Grey, Chrome). Unusually for a designer light-filtering fabric it is railroadable as well as seamable, so it can be turned to cover an extra-wide opening in one piece.
Stratus Blackout carries the six colours over an acrylic foam backing; it is seamable but not railroadable. Both are cleaned by dusting and vacuuming.
What Stratus does on your glass, and what it does not
Best use
Pick by exposure. Swan, Oyster, Sail and Chiffon are the pale end and belong on north and east glass and in bright living rooms. Earl Grey and Chrome are the two with enough depth for a den, a study or a room where a screen faces the window. Stratus Blackout repeats all six for the bedrooms, so a day and night pair matches without a second colour decision.
Privacy
Under 3% openness covers the room in daylight and takes the view with it. After dark the light-filtering face shows movement to anyone with a sightline, which on the tower floors of Sunny Isles and Hallandale means the building opposite. Stratus Blackout answers that. It is a roller shade, so light still escapes at both edges unless the shade sits in channels or outside the opening.
Glare control
Lutron publishes no transmission figures here, so read the colour. At under 3% openness the beam is stopped in all six, but Swan and Chiffon return a lot of what is left into the room and a television will show it. Chrome and Earl Grey are the two that keep a panel quiet. On unshaded west glass, expect the shade itself to be bright whichever you choose.
Limitations
The two versions do not share the same trick. The light-filtering face railroads, the blackout does not, so on a slider wider than 116 inches the day shade can run in one piece while the blackout behind it needs a seam or a split. Lutron lists dusting and vacuuming only for both, with no damp cloth. Neither gives a view and no fire rating is published.

Where Stratus works here
The railroading option makes Stratus our first suggestion for the 12- to 14-foot sliders in newer Sunny Isles and Hallandale towers where a client wants a soft fabric rather than a screen and does not want a seam or a split. Chiffon and Sail in a living room, Earl Grey in a den.
Stratus: frequently asked
What does railroadable mean?
The fabric can be run sideways on the roller, so its 116-inch width becomes the shade's height and the shade's width is limited only by the roller system. It is how we cover a very wide opening with a single shade and no seam.
How wide can a Lutron Stratus shade be?
Lutron publishes a maximum usable fabric width of 116 inches for Stratus. It can be seamed for wider openings, or two shades share one headrail and move together. We confirm the exact limit for the chosen system when we measure.
Which Lutron shades use Stratus?
Stratus is made up on Lutron roller 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 Stratus PVC-free?
Yes. Lutron lists every Stratus colourway as PVC-free, with Lead Free, Anti-microbial Properties, GREENGUARD Certified, RoHS Compliant certifications.
Can I see Stratus samples before ordering?
