Silhouette Shades

Sillhouette S Vane
Silhouette Window Shadings - with the Signature S-Vane™, magically float between two sheers and diffuse harsh sunlight. Simply tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy.

Supervise the Sun - The Signature S-Vane™ is designed to put you in control of the amount of natural light that comes in, with beautiful effects. Transform harsh exterior light by diffusing it, spreading it evenly throughout your room, so you can maximize daylight hours and reduce your need for artificial light. A Shade Better's beautiful sheer fabrics also softly filter out brightness, glare, and UV rays —protecting your furniture and flooring from fading.
Silhouette A Deux
The Best of Both Worlds - Silhouette A Deux™ offers a room-darkening option by combining a Silhouette shading and a room-darkening roller shade in a single headrail.  Available as an option on PowerView™, LiteRise®, and EasyRise™ operating systems.   

Dramatic Softness - With no cords or tapes, the sheer facings allow you to view through the vanes to the outside, while maintaining a discreet level of privacy. For the most impactful view, choose our Quartette™ 4" vane size.
Sunscreen for your Valuables - Protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading with at least 75% protection from harmful UV rays. 

Transform Light with Silhouette

Silhouette's two sheer fabrics combine to gently transform bright light into soft light making your room cozier than ever. Specially engineered shades can disperse light deep into the room, reducing the need for electric lights. Silhouettes can provide an unobstructed view and roll up completely into a fabric covered headrail. Even when the shades are down and the vanes are open, Silhouette will help block damaging UV rays, protecting flooring and furniture. Silhouette window shading with the signature S-vane can add a beautifully functional design element to any room.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette Window Shadings

SHEER BEAUTY THAT TRANSFORMS YOUR LIGHT

Afford yourself the luxury of having light and privacy at the same time. 

Silhouette® Window Shadings offer a solution to your windows' visibility concerns with their innovative design. These soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes let light filter through while also obscuring the outside world's view into your space at night or when you're trying not to be seen from afar by nosy passersby - making it easy for those who want some peace!

KEY FEATURES

Increased View-Through - Silhouette ClearView® Shadings are a unique and stylish way to bring in more light. They come with both front and back sheers so you can maximize your view outwards while retaining privacy for those who enjoy their little slice of tranquility on the other side!

Premium Design & Style - The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette is a suite of exclusive designer-inspired fabrics, textures, and colors made just for designers. These high-end materials meet the expectations of discerning consumers who seek out only the best in design!

UV Protection - Our gorgeous sheer fabrics gently block out the sun’s harsh rays to protect your furniture and flooring from fading. Depending on what fabric you choose, these shadings may filter up to 88% of harmful UV radiation!

Privacy & Light Control - The white rear sheer curtains provide daytime privacy and light control with just one simple adjustment. With the vanes in their default position, you can see out of your home as easily during daytime when it's open or closed - but by tilting them up for more coverage we've made sure everybody has what they need at any hour!
​
Room Darkening - Silhouette Duolite® Shadings are a great option for those who want to adjust the light in their room. In addition, these shading layers have been independently operated by an inner roller shade that sits behind it so you can control incoming illumination levels as needed!

AVAILABLE OPERATING SYSTEMS FOR SILHOUETTE®

PowerView®

With our innovative PowerView® system, you can move your shades according to schedules that work for you—day or night whether at home alone as well as when away. Operate PowerView shades with your tablet, smartphone, or our sleek Pebble® Remote to control the look and feel of these motorized curtains. Available in a wide range of colors that can match any decor style you have going on at home - they're also compatible with smart-home systems so getting them set up is easy peasy!
​
LiteRise®

The LiteRise® system is a game-changer for anyone who has ever had to untangle cords on their window coverings. Innovative and convenient, LiteRise® is the easiest way to operate your window treatment. The patented system lets you push or pull up on one side of the frame with ease while leaving other sides unattached for hanging—no more tangled cords!

UltraGlide®

When you're looking for a window treatment that is safe and easy to use, look no further than UltraGlide®. This system comes with either one retractable cord or wand depending on your needs - it's always present so there are never any dangling cords! With child-proof flaps at both ends of the pole as well as an antiroll design, this product offers enhanced safety for pets too.

SoftTouch®

The SoftTouch® Motorization system makes it easy to move your shades by gently pulling down or pushing up on the wand. This battery-powered device ensures quick touch-and-go functionality so you can quickly resolve any issue with tangled cords, which are no longer an obstacle in most homes where pets and children live too!

EasyRise™

The EasyRise™ system is a continuous cord loop, specially engineered for smooth and easy operation. It can open the largest shades without the hassle of dangling cords that get in your way of catching on something ready to break apart with their weight!

Duolite®

You can't have too much light or privacy, and the Duolite® design option gives you both! It's a system that combines two different fabrics into one shade. There is also manual operation for those who like some control over their blinds; then there are motorized options if bulkier automation suits your needs better than hand-waving does yours.

The Deux™

Silhouette®, from Hunter Douglas, is a lighting and shading system that provides many options for light control. The A duo incorporates shades with roller blinds to provide you with just the right amount of natural or artificial light in your home without compromising on style!

AVAILABLE SPECIALTY SHAPES

PictureArches
Arches can come in many different sizes and configurations, including stationary ones like the one pictured here. They also have an assortment of shapes such as half-circle or quarter Moon to their repertoire!​

PictureAngles
​Angled windows come in many variations, including right triangles and isosceles triangles. The most extreme form of this design feature can be found on top-sloped or bottom-sloping models that create a channel for light to enter through an open portion at eye level inside your home while still providing some insulation from the rain outside!

PictureTrapezoids
Trapezoidal, or tapered-side, windows come in many different configurations and angles. These windows consist of four sides with at least one pair of parallel sides.

PictureCircles, Ovals
We offer many versatile and durable options to help you cover even these uncommonly shaped windows. We can do it all because we're the experts in providing an aesthetically pleasing window treatment that will last for years!​

PictureBay and Corner Windows
​Bay windows, corner windows, and bow window treatments are usually standard rectangular installations. Panels stand on their own with no connection to one another so they can be moved around at will for different rooms in your home without having any unnecessary obstructions or cords hanging off the sides of your curtain rod system.

PicturePatio and Sliding-Glass Doors
For those wanting to make their home as cozy and comfortable as possible, a company called "Hunter Douglas" offers an array of window treatments for both traditional windows as well as sliding glass doors. These include drapes or curtains that can be outfitted with all sorts of patterns including lace-like finishes from the 21st century!

PictureFrench Doors
​French doors are typically much heavier than other types of double-hung Windows. As such, you will need to think about mounting options for your window treatments carefully, so they don't tip back and forth with each gust of wind outside!

PictureSidelights
​Operable and non-operable window treatments for sidelight windows are a great way to add an elegant touch of style.
