Create Solutions with Silhouette® Shades
Silhouette® shades are ideal for large windows, glass doors, and rooms that struggle with glare or intense afternoon sun. Their sheer construction allows natural light to filter in while maintaining privacy and softening the view.
Light Control & Privacy Features with Duolite®
With Duolite®, one headrail houses two shades. Adjust the sheer vanes for filtered light and privacy, or lower the blackout roller shade for full room darkening and complete privacy.
An Even Wider Range of Control: The Halo Feature
The Halo feature is exclusive to Hunter Douglas Silhouette® shades and offers a wider range of light control than traditional sheer shades. Traditionally, vanes float between sheer fabrics, inviting filtered light, then tilting down to direct the light toward the floor, until the vanes finally close flat. With the Halo feature, those vanes not only do that, but they also tilt UP. This tilting adjustment toward the ceiling allows the natural light to shine in, above your head, illuminating the entire space.
Silhouette® Shade Sheer Fabric Options
It’s no secret that Hunter Douglas Silhouette Shades are known for inviting a dynamic view of the landscape. Soft and hazy, it becomes the backdrop of your home. But, there’s another option. ClearView® sheer fabrics feature darker sheer material that creates a sharper, more defined view of the outdoors compared to traditional soft sheers. The view becomes a sharper, more defined version.
Silhouette vs Pirouette vs Luminette: Which Is Right for You?
While Silhouette® and Pirouette® shades both offer horizontal sheer light control, they differ in vane construction and fabric presentation. Luminette® Privacy Sheers are designed specifically for sliding glass doors and wide openings with vertical operation. The right choice depends on your window size, lighting needs, and room function.
