New Way should be brought in at concept or early design, before the M&E layout and ceiling are finalized. The most common and costly residential shading problem is late discovery: the wiring is buried and the ceiling closed before motorized shading is specified, forcing wireless retrofits or visible compromises. Specifying early lets the pocket and power be reserved in the architecture itself. For recessed Lutron drapery, that means detailing the recessed pocket per Lutron Application Note #843, and a deeper pocket of at least 305mm where blackout drapery is needed, during the ceiling section, not after. Share the drawings and the M&E program at the first consultation, and New Way will confirm what to reserve before anything is built.

New Way provides the mounting and fabrication details an architect needs to specify shading accurately. That includes recessed-mount detailing to Lutron Application Note #843 with 45-degree miter cuts for inside corners, a deeper blackout pocket of at least 305mm where required, concealed-track requirements, and hembar alignment held to within 1/8 inch (3.2mm) across multiple windows. The team also mocks up and confirms a sample before mass production, so the detailed result is verified before it reaches site. Bring your drawings and the control intent to a specification consultation and New Way will confirm pocket dimensions, power locations, and mounting before the ceiling section is closed.

New Way is an authorized Lutron fabricator, appointed in 2022, and fabricates shading and drapery for Lutron residential systems including Sivoia QS, the Palladiom range, and HomeWorks control. For an architect, that means shading detailed to Lutron’s standards, with recessed mounting, THEIA spec-grade fabrics, and Customer’s Own Material workflows available. The Palladiom motor runs around 35 dBA, among Lutron’s quietest, which preserves the quiet of a finished room. New Way coordinates with the project’s Lutron integrator rather than replacing them. Share the Lutron specification at the consultation and the team will confirm fabric, mounting, and fabrication details.

New Way’s fabric range meets specification-grade requirements for large and code-driven residential projects. Fabric is woven up to 3.2 meters wide for seamless coverage of large glazing, and fiberglass sunscreen handles drops over 16 meters with an M1 fire rating (NF P92-503). PVC-free options are available in Trevira CS for projects with green-building or material-health requirements, and the range carries GREENGUARD Gold, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, REACH, and ISO 9001, 14001, and 15001. Color holds at Grade 8 fastness with under 0.5% batch deviation, so large or phased facades stay consistent. Send the performance criteria and the team will confirm the right fabric for the specification.

New Way handles interior shading and outdoor facade shading as one coordinated scope. Indoors, that spans roller shades, drapery, and Lutron or Aqara smart control. On the facade and terrace, the range runs from manual and motorized cable-guided blinds up to the sealed, wind-rated Renson Fixscreen zip system, with exterior fabrics that railroad for wider runs and resist weathering. Specifying both through one partner means the envelope is coordinated, the integration is planned once, and one team is accountable rather than separate interior and facade suppliers. As the authorized fabricator for Lutron, Renson, and Aqara, New Way can carry the full specification, inside and out.

Partnering with New Way gives an architect one specification and fabrication partner from concept to handover, across interior shading and outdoor facades. In practice that means early specification support so pockets and power are reserved before the ceiling closes, mounting and fabric details for the drawings, a mockup workflow that verifies the detail before site, and in-house fabrication and installation coordinated with the Lutron integrator and the builder. New Way works to your drawings rather than redesigning them. Specific terms, technical resources, and project pricing are confirmed with the team, since they depend on the project. The fastest start is a specification consultation.
