COOPERSBURG, PA.—Lutron Electronics, a leader in lighting
controls and automated shading solutions, introduces the Ripplefold style for
its Alena
Pull-to-Start Drapery. The Ripplefold joins the Pinchpleat style in
Lutron’s Alena lineup. Both styles are designed to work seamlessly with the
Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery Track, known for its reliability, simplicity, and
integration with guestroom solutions.
“Alena helped to elevate the guest experience by providing a very simple,
elegant drapery solution for the hotel guestroom,” says Olivier Perrigueur,
Vice President—Global Specifications Sales and Business at Lutron. “The
Ripplefold style provides another option for Lutron clients, making Alena an
even more attractive solution.”
Ripplefold is available in three
different 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 Lutron’s distinctive
smooth performance and utilize the Lutron Ultra-quiet Electronic Drive Unit
(EDU), a low-voltage, near-silent drive that communicates via Lutron wired,
wireless, or third-party keypads. Alena makes the Ripplefold style—like
Pinchpleat—easy to operate.
Easy, Efficient Setup
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
an easy, efficient 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 the company’s exacting standards from creation to production.
Alena Pull-to-Start Drapery is designed to mesh seamlessly with the Lutron myRoom hospitality solution. Moreover, customers can select their soft fabric of choice from Lutron’s extensive dealer affiliates, giving their guestrooms a look as distinctive as Alena itself. Alena is one of several Lutron daylight controls, which reduce glare, preserve views, save energy, and help improve the overall guest experience. Click here to learn more.
