Lutron Electronics has introduced the Ripplefold style for its Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery solution, an enhancement for hotel guestroom curtains.
The Ripplefold joins the Pinchpleat style in Lutron’s Alena lineup. Both styles are designed to work with the Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery Track.
Ripplefold is available in three fullness options; 80 percent, 100 percent and 120 percent.
The Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery Track, introduced three years ago, is available as a standalone solution or can be integrated into Lutron lighting and guestroom control systems. Alena drapery tracks deliver performance and utilize the Lutron Ultra-quiet Electronic Drive Unit (EDU), a low-voltage, drive that communicates via Lutron wired, wireless, or third-party keypads.
Guests open or close the system by pressing a button or gently tugging on the fabric. A remote keypad will also allow the drapery to stop midway to provide the desired amount of daylight or darkness. Installation is plug-and-play, with a setup requiring no programming. This minimizes installation time and cost.
Lutron designs, engineers, and manufactures the track, power supply, and controls, ensuring their quality meets its standards from creation to production.
Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery is designed to mesh with the Lutron myRoom hospitality solution. Moreover, customers can select their fabric of choice from Lutron’s dealer affiliates, giving their guestrooms a distinctive look.
Alena is one of several Lutron daylight controls, which reduce glare, preserve views, save energy, and help improve the overall guest experience.
