Balancing Light and Privacy
As we get older, we learn more and more about how the world works. We learn how to drive cars, how to properly clean an oven, how to get cookies to bake just right, and, of course, how to choose the right window treatment for our homes. Of course, if you are just starting your window treatment journey, or you are wanting to switch from one material of window treatment to something completely different, a little lesson or refresh will go a long way! For example, if you want a window treatment that does an excellent job at balancing light and privacy, then you will love our Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings. A true pioneer in the window treatment world when it comes to light filtration and privacy, Silhouette® Sheer Shades are a beloved shade from Hunter Douglas for a reason. Read on to learn if these custom Hunter Douglas shades are right for your home.
Light or Privacy When You Wish
As mentioned, Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades are superb at balancing light and privacy. This is because these shadings feature soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes that softly “float” between two sheers for ample light and privacy control. You can enjoy gentle light and privacy at the same time, as these shadings obscure the world’s view into your home thanks to its innovative design. Additionally, the double-layered vanes of our Hunter Douglas Silhouette Halo™ Shadings let you easily redirect sunlight within a room, giving you precision unlike any other. This is the perfect option for rooms that see a healthy amount of sunlight throughout the day. These shades even filter out up to 88 percent of the sun’s harsh UV rays depending on the opacity of fabric you choose for your shades.
Stunning Styles
In addition to balancing light and privacy, Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades also provide stunning styles for you to choose from. We invite you to explore the richness offered within The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette for fashion-forward designs that instantly elevate any room. Boasting a carefully curated suite of gorgeous fabrics, textures, colors and hardware, The Alustra® Collection of Silhouette is designed to impress those who seek the best in design and elevate your windows into a work of art. Choose from popular colors like Smoke and Mirrors, Castille, Capri, and more. If you are unsure of what type of style you are seeking, our friendly team of experts is here to help you create the perfect fabric style.
