Imagine that perfect time of day when the light is just right with a soft glow filling the room. This is the charm of Silhouette Sheer Shades. They invite light into your home, gently filtering it as it enters, so the environment feels serene. The glow lingers while you’re treated to a clear view of the outdoors. Explore the Silhouette shade features with us and find the perfect way to get the ideal home ambiance.
The Vanes
A common discussion in the world of window coverings revolves around Silhouette shade features: Should the vanes stay open or closed? If you prefer to keep them open most of the time, it’s likely because you have a stunning view, and enjoy the soft, indirect light that fills your space.
For those who are more likely to keep them closed majority of the time, there’s likely a good reason. Maybe your windows are street facing, you’re in a room where privacy is of most importance, or you have a lot light entering that needs to be diffused. One of the newest Silhouette shade features, Halo, allows you to adjust the vanes in a way that channels light into your room while keeping the vanes closed on the outside.
One Shade…Or Two?
One of the unique qualities of Hunter Douglas sheer shades is their ability to transform harsh, bright light into a soft, warm glow. With the addition of dual sheer shades, you can take control of light in your home on an entirely new level. That even includes room darkening options.
The Colour Scheme
The fabric vanes “float” between two layers of sheer fabric, and you can choose the colour that best complements your home’s vibe. With a variety of beautiful fabrics and subtle textures to choose from, you can decide whether you prefer something vibrant or neutral.
Neutral tones are often selected, but if you have dark or even black trim windows, the effect can be ravishing.
The Sheer Fabrics
The solid vanes are suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. Originally, there was just one sheer fabric option in various colours, but now you have a choice between two: ClearView and traditional.
ClearView is one of the newer Silhouette shade features, offering sheer fabrics that offer a crisper, sharper view. The traditional sheers provide that soft and dreamy effect that some homeowners prefer. It’s all about personal choice.
The Operation
How do you prefer to operate your window coverings? Do you enjoy the simplicity of manual operation or prefer the convenience of motorized? Silhouette Shades offer a variety of operating systems to suit your home and lifestyle:
- Cordless Shades: Push/Pull Operation with LiteRise
- Cord Loop: Continuous Cord Rotation
- Motorized Shades: PowerView Automation
- Retractable Corded Shades: UltraGlide
- Individual Motorization: The SoftTouch Wand
Doors VS Windows
Doors and windows often are in the same space. How do you style them? Sheer shades work for both. You can choose to use horizontal sheer shades for both doors and windows. Alternatively, you can mix and match, using Silhouette Shades for your windows and vertical Luminette sheer panels for your doors.
